He is probably better than owt you have at minute foir starters

Maybe thats all we could afford, and the only player daft enough to come.

How much money has AG to spend on players

4 Million, give or take



No idea, we can only hope he can add to the squad.

Is English your natural language?

how are the youngsters coming along.have we got a sam tompkins up our sleeves eg how is matty wildie doing?

Precisely; Cooke was rumoured to be on 80k+ and Leano would have taken that well over 100k. If Sammut is on more than that at Crusaders, I'll eat my hat.

There was also the chance last season to go in for Matty Smith and Stefan Ratchford, neither of whom will be demanding big wages yet.

You've got to look to JK I'm afraid; his obsession with former Hull players and crocked old-stagers blinds him to more creative recruitment options.

I do not think Charlie was on as large a salary as you think. Re Crusaders would love to see what their wage bill is compared to ours !

Where do you get this stuff from? Cooke was on a Salary of £120k at HKR, got a pay-off and was only here for around 6 months. Not sure what his overall cost was, but well below what you're suggesting. Mindst you - even that was far too much!



Forget Sammut - Crusaders had been working on him for months before he joined them - so he wasn't available when we were looking, even though it appeared that he was.

Smith and Ratchford - don't know, but they didn't look so good today!

Go on then, who else is going to be 'getable'?

I'm suggesting he was on 80k a year; like 99% of the people on here, I get my 'stuff' from on here and that was the salary he was rumoured to be on. You may know better.

Regardless of the detail, the point I'm trying to make is that last seasons recruitment represented some truly awful decisions, that took us from top of the table on exactly this day a year ago, to a long series of games that were excrutiatingly difficult to watch. JK might have had a limited budget but in my view, he spent what he did have really unwisely. Would you argue with that?

As for Smith and Ratchford - either one would walk in to our starting line up.

It seems it's one thing having the money and another to get a player signed up, especially all the rumors that have been going around about our club this past year.We don't know who we've tried to sign over the past year and how many knock backs we got, before we landed on Cooke and Leano.

Any controlling half back with a good kicking game would do me as well as at least 1 prop.

Jarrad hickey and any half decent halfback that can kick well and rule the roost....

According to Lge Exp, there won't be any overseas signings for unto three months, the new company have to be licences to satisfy uk border agency.

if we can't an aussie, what about mcnally at huddersfield

surely he would be itching to get some good game time. (and he can kick goals)

surely can't prevent you signing french players (EU regs) ?

get JR to recommend some of the young french talent coming through ie Pelissier - he's top notch - grab him before on the of the big boys do...

we will be in a good position to get some guys on loan, sure there are a few guys who have been left out and will struggle for game time in the early season...

Something else for the shopping list. An attacking game plan and a defensive structure. Other than that 2 props and a game controlling half back.

Why would he read what you put or anyone else on here, seeing as you told him to bog off and stop being so unprofessional by posting on here. Honest you couldn't make it up if you really thought about it. You don't want to hear what he has to say on here but you want him to listen to us! I doubt he will ever look on here again and I wouldn't blame him. Come on let's have a reality check here please.

Or Kyle Wood. they both looked decent in the pre season friendly and i cant see either of them getting much game time this year at Hudds.

Any idea on how long before we see Jeremy Smith???

A big signing such as gareth ellis would help us get a franchise.

2 props and a quality scrum half would do us. We have enough hookers.

a big stick to hit administrators with?

Gareth is good but i don't think he is that good!
