His Facebook shows a comment from one fan asking why u leaving bulls? He says not through choice I loved playing for the bulls. I'm wondering what the f has gone on but it sounds as though bulls have got rid. Why when he signed for 2012? Doubt it's to do with the eBay scam as him paying back money earned through criminal activity has got jack to do with bulls or his new contract.

Yeah that was me who asked mate

That would be the ex Leeds Carnegie player Alex Ball who has had a run out in the U20's this season.

He'll be 21 next year and could be a possible answer as he's not short on height.

But what else could it be?

You don't offer a guy a new 12 month contract in July, then just rid for no reason in September. Makes no sense

Gaz seems pretty pi$$ed off, wants to do things the professional way by letting bulls release statement. Can't help but read between the lines. Have they sacked him or told him to go or he will be pushed? Majorly messed up since he signed for next year. Poss replacements in halley crookes and Royston have left so what next?????

Ladies and Gentlemen the return of the one the only Rikki Sheriffe is being announced tomorrow alongside the departure of Raynor

Bulls didn't give a damn about the eBay stuff as they plucked him from prison so why would they now care about it? He had knuckled down well and proved himself and shown bulls they were right to give him a chance. WTF is going on at bulls and how can we replace him

Sheriffe? Doubt it! Watched him on tv the other day for Newcastle against leicester! Seemed to do quite well

I think you might be getting Lee Smith from Leeds

www.hullfc.com/newsarticle.aspx?n=19184 - Hull confirm Lynch.

No mention of the fee in that article. Is it 'undisclosed' like both Burgesses in case we all get too giddy?

It says six figure sum in the article, so anything from £100,000 to £999,999, though knowing the Bulls it was probably £99.9900...

So is Lynch a Judas now, like Fielden? Or is this different?

Just told my 11 year old about Lynch and Raynor. She says "Why? We have no good players left now."

The Bulls need to announce some positive news and quickly.

We needed players before these 2 left. I see it as we now need another wingers, 2 props, maybe a classy loose and possibly a centre.

Can't fault the Bulls really. A player who wants away is not worth keeping, if it's £100k for a 31 year old is sound business. Raynor has destroyed all the trust Bradford placed him in by the looks. He deservs nothing but scorn if it is a further offence.

Thats the fee both clubs have probabaly agreed to put about but the Hull Daily Mail which is usually spot on with this sort of stuff says

But it is thought the Black and Whites have paid a fee of around £50,000 to secure the services of the former England prop.

Your paper talks down transfer fee, our paper talks it up. Neither really knows and actual fee will fall somewhere in between extremes. End of the day both clubs are happy with deal so does it really matter exact figure?

'Significant six figure fee' is in the Hull club's own release statement. I don't think Adam Pearson is going to sanction a transfer fee and then tell the PR dept to lie about it.

Plenty of scope for disingenuous comment by either side regarding the "value" of the transfer.

Clearly a fee has been paid. But who knows if there are not other elements to it, like (for example) Hull assuming a salary payment or two that Bulls would otherwise have made? Or we'll mysteriously find we have a pre-season friendly against Hull FC? The clubs will have agreed a statement, so both must believe the total value received/given is at least £100k?

I guess I should keep my powder dry until I see who (if anyone) we end up signing. Must admit though I bet we see Lynch in the Dream Team next season. Personally I'm pretty gutted though. It sends out all the wrong messages.

so then both been rumoured for weeks and both been confirmed three days after the Pledge deadline mmmmmmmmmm.
Oh behave mark you old cynic

Sad to see Lynch go. I suspect he would have stayed if the team around him wasn't gash. Replacement? Looking unlikely. This seems like a balance sheet job.

As for Raynor, I hate those "no further comment" statements. We demand to know what he's done!
