Kris Keating-HKR

I do love all the people who know exactly what wages players are on.

I don't want go start this up again ... (lol)

Haha, but I don't think anyone can argue that our overseas recruitment for next season has been very good:

Michael Weyman: Origin and AUS international forward
Neville Costigan: Origin and PNG international forward
Kris Keating: Grand Final starting half back and only 25

We have been linked with Langley, Cockayne and Amor so if we could sign these three I think we would be "English heavy" squad wise. Our outside backs will almost certainly be 100% English too:

1.Eden
2.Hall
3.Gleeson/Slater
4.Welham/Salter
5.Hodgson

I know someone close to Cas advised them to sign Keating and we never gave him a look in. He is a VERY shrewd judge of the NRL, And was said to have told Cas to bring him over on 120-130k..... He has heard Hull Kr are only paying 95k. So you have got a good deal there. I am looking forward to seeing him play next year.

Keating you would think would go well in SL judging off past half back recruits of a similar standing in the NRL in Dureau,Dobson,Green and Holdsworth who have made an impact.

A decent looking squad taking shape for KR.

So don't make something out of this that isn't there.

We have double the overseas players leaving in 2014 then will be arriving. This is a fact and will not change as we have no quota or non fed spaces.

Keating is terrible, doesn't really have anything to his game, glad we have got rid, massive downgrade on Dobson.

Where's Con Mika going ? Thats a new one.

He's out of contract and non-federation trained so we have no choice. Its a shame as he seems to have found his niche at loose forward recently. Ive heard Widnes or Castleford FWIW.

i don't think you can really tell until they are here and had time to settle in. Players who have come over here expecting big things don't always perform and vice versa.

SL to NRL
Mossop (Wigan) - Eels
Dobson (hull kr) - Knights
Patterson(hull kr)- Wests
Cooper (Warrington) - Dragons
Richards (Richards) - Tigers
Baldwinson (Leeds) - Warriors
Casty (Catalans) - Roosters
Tonks (Leeds) - Warriors
Lulia (Bradford) - Tigers

Rumoured
Tomkins (wigan) - warriors


NRL to SL
Weyman (dragons) - hull kr
Costigan (knights) - hull kr
Sau (Storm) - Salford
Walsh (panthers) - St. Helens
Masoe (panthers) - St. Helens
Asotasi (sth's) - Warrington
Pettybourne (Wests) - Wigan
Keating (Bulldogs) - Hull KR

Rumoured Bowen (cowboys) - Wigan

NRL to union
Earl (Raiders) - Pau (France)
Marshall (Tigers) - Auckland Blues
Everingham (Souths) - japan

Bit gutted to hear Everingham is going to Union. Had a good season hasn't he?

He's terrible, it's the Chris Riley factor, play him outside some quality players he scores some walk in tries, put him in the Parra or Wears teams he'd look like the NSW cup player that he is.

Ah fair enough, I've seen barely any NRL this season. Thought I read somewhere that he's had a good season and Souths were glad to have him.

Everingham isn't even getting in the first team anymore is he? Or is that sort of a knock-on effect of him leaving...
Anyway, they'll have a new winger in Josh Charnley soon enough

Danny Addy signs new two-year deal at Bradford.

Thanks.
Your usual line of BS is rather tedious I agree.

Just to be pedantic, Kris Keating is currently down on that list as joining Huddersfield and not Hull KR.

Ashley Gibson announced. 2 year deal.

Tedious perhaps, but despite your previous assertions your club is continuing to sign Aussies so it wasn't BS.

I suggest you go back and actually read what I wrote this time instead of making stuff up.

IN
Weyman
Costigan
Keating

OUT
O'Hara
Paea
Mika
Dobson
Withers
Patterson.

Leaving us with
Weyman
Costigan
Keating
Tuimavave
Burns
Lovegrove (Classed home grown) although there are rumours that we have offered him to other clubs.

That is 3 IN and 6/7 OUT surely even you can see your previous point that we are in some way subsidizing our youth with Antipodeans is farcical.

I will now point out that the rule is that you are limited to 5 with the rest being made up of fed trained and home grown which we have.

Like I said how about you stop the BS as it makes you sound rather idiotic.

Also it would seem the RFL's acadamy assessments are a little off as Widnes couldn't raise a team against Hull FC and HKR with 5 players banned put 114-0 on Fev.

But hey-ho.

Jordan James leaving Salford to take up a coaching role with Wigan. 2 players confirmed as leaving today - the turnover of players begins.......

I actually do rate Gibson, thought he'd stay at the new look Salford.

Lee gaskell to Bradford bulls announced tomorrow I hear.
