If he's signed nothing then hull have no business making an announcement and certainly not at the time they did! if he's signed a "pre agreement" then its been done to specifically avoid paying a development fee. Not against the rules but not particularly a moral way of doing things. I would imagine the RFL will look into things.
Hull backed out last minute of the naughton deal too earlier this year- No love lost between Pearson and Davy during the Huddersfield town saga...

Dearie me, do we really care whether protocol has been followed, Do we really care that much that he has gone, yes he has potential but it has not come busting out yet has it, Maybe that's something to do with the coaching, but his lack of pace is always going to restrict him IMO . We have options every bit as good as Conner on the books now.

If he has chosen to leave, so be it, It's his right , lets not start to slag him off, which is what usually happens to players who choose to leave, And if any rules have been Bent, then let the RFL sort it. I will be amazed if he ever reaches the heights some people are forecasting for him, but you never know .

Just read Hulls response to the Thewlis view of events.
Well not surprised that it is completlely different. Arrogance is a terrible attitude when you are Wrong. And Giants have never bent the so called Rules of the RFL ?????. The Administrators are a JOKE.

If hull wanted to do this "ethically" as they state then they wouldn't have made a massive announcement about this signing (that they haven't actually yet made- how funny if he changes his mind) in the week we've sacked a coach and lost a young player.
Both clubs have behaved badly IMO.

some say hes not a winger too!

had watkins in his pocket at centre not long ago...

To be honest, i'm really struggling to see the relevance of Jake signing for us, to the tragic passing of a young man. Players switch teams all the time. Is it really such a slant on the Giants name that Another club has signed one of there players?

connor cant get in out team now

wardle centre, murphy on the wing.

only injuries will get him back in,even then he is not staying with us so why even bother, play someone who is committed to the giants cause.

not too happy with wardle either, looks like hes off and played like it all season too, another not committed player, got rid of one not long ago in patrick.

The story here for me is that Huddersfield have screwed up one of their core business processes.... Again. They wanted to retain Connor or extract a fee for him and have done neither. Then Thewlis compounds it all with his silly statements to the press.... Again.

It's not Hull FC's fault - Huddersfield have done worse than them re: Kopzcak when they were forced to pay a fee. Hull FC won't be paying any fee. The rules are the rules Ricky - study them and play the game with the rest of them.

I don't know Thewlis. He may be a bloody nice bloke. But I question how good he is at his job.

Stop crying please it's getting boring now

Hull fc have done nothing wrong. Get over it

Hang on - I thought the official line was you haven't signed him....

Give it a rest, you're getting more embarrassing.

A task achieved by literally everyone this season

He's a very solid winger indeed, I would rather we had Broughton or Ormsby though

We are just a laughing stock at the minute. I have no idea how we are going to entice a top coach when it's clear how amateurishly the club is being directed

A lot more than P Anderson needed clearing out in some peoples mind, but in view of how long it took for that particular penny to drop, I don't think we shall be seeing much change soon.

broughton couldnt get murphy out of the team last season remember....

ormsby next season will be a giant, or rumoured to be

why dont we just dont what hull do and announce it? rock the boat abit...?

Broughton was part time last season

And I think he still should have played ahead of Murphy

There was far too much sentiment and favouritism under Mr Anderson, hopefully that will change when the new man gets here.

I have been a fan of Murphy ever since he has been at the club, But if we have signed Ormsby ,as a winger then play him there for a decent spell and let's see how good he is, If that means leaving Murphy out so be it, He is an excellent squad player who can cover a few positions really well, whilst not being a world beater in any.
I would suggest the same for Brierley, lets give him long enough, Anderson claimed he was our fullback, and then promptly picked someone else, In which case he should have been in the position he has always played, Obviously a bit too complicated .

On the nail Jo!

This.

Times a thousand.

sinking ship

fair play to connor, best player for us lastnight
