With us looking poised to finally secure the signatures of a "proper number 7" & McDonnell as our fullback then we will surely be left with two of the highest paid players unlikely to make the starting 17 of their team in SL??

Seymour & Horne will be taking up a large wedge of the cap & it appears very unlikely either will deliver value for money.

Are there any other teams in SL who will have two players on such wages sitting in the stands not through injury?

Are these new signings going to mean Seymour will be offloaded? We surely can't fit Prince & McDonnell in and still accommodate Seymour & Horne. If somehow we can then we should be able to improve the squad massively again once Horne & Seymour eventually move on.

A chunk of Hornes salary is expect from the Cap due to him being here 10 years IIRC, (obviously needs paying, but doesnrt count towards the 1.6 limit). Although thats probably shared with Yeman aswell now.

Horne no

the other one, he'll go

old regimes doing, not pearson, mcrea or gentles' fault

horne back up, as said his wage on the cap will be deducted so not much of a problem

seymour? bye bye and good luck

Re: are there any other players taking up a large amount of cap space:-

Rangi Chase - Castleford Tigers.

- unless he goes to St George of course.

Only £50k I believe which Yeamo qualifies for anyway and you only get it once!!

So,



1, McDonnell
2, Crookes
3, Arundel
4, Yeaman
5, Briscoe
6, Holdsworth
7, Prince
8, Watts
9, Houghton
10, Lynch
11, Ellis
12, Tickle
13, Westerman

O'Meley
Johnson
Galea
Heremaia

A nice blend of youth and experience.
'Championi's Championi's, o,a,o,a,o,a.'

Not bad back up either

-

Whiting, Pitts, Lineham, Horne, Crooks, Green, Kent, Bowden, Seymour, Cunningham, Nicklas.

Fookin 'ell, we've got the bookies running scared.
Biggest we are to win at OT is 14/1.

I'm in no way blaming the current regime & have praised them for their efforts in the Rumours thread.

It's great to see the squad shaping up well. Without Horne & Seymour on the books we could add the extra rough @rse prop I'd like to see then I think we'd have a team to many any.

It was never gonna happen overnight but we're making progress for sure & feel a lot better knowing we will have a partner for Holdsworth!

Worth a tenner!!

Seymour has played his last game for us so I am told.

Awww, what a shame!



Would deffo rather keep McGoldrick if at all possible.

Oh and that big, scary animal of a prop wouldn't go a miss either!! But I think that's asking a bit too much for 2013.

On sky bet, Hull are 8/1 to win the cup, 10/1 to win grand final and Ellis is 8/1 to get man of steel.

Scott Prince!!!!

Sums the thread title up a treat!!!

















He will be 36 at the end of his contract with Hull, you lot are priceless and clueless

We haven't signed him yet if you hadn't noticed.

I really hope you do!

Classic Hull FC signing!

I agree, we should be looking at players from the likes of Batley.

You'll be able to come and watch him, backend, as you're languishing outside the 8, again.

Whilst it's not quite the same and I'd fall short of calling him a waste of the salary cap, Brett Hodgson will be far from cheap and seems to need an awful lot of rest now, even when technically fit to play. There was also both Amos Roberts and Stuart Fielden at Wigan recently who could barely get games even when they got back from injuries. Then at Wakefield there's Isaac John and Steve Southern, who were touted as 2 of their key signings (Southern even being named captain IIRC) but ended the season way out of favour. This is just off the top of my head, but it can and does happen.

It's probably a moot point anyway, as if we sign both a scrum half and a fullback I think there'd be a good chance Seymour would be paid off and Horne would retire.

Great side and i agree BUT Galea, Whiting, Galea, Whiting mmmm

I would'nt worry too much about Richard Hornes wage. As he is actually on peanuts now. His last contract was massively reduced. FACT!!!!!

Two words: Joel Clinton

Fair call that, but I would have put Willie Mason's name first

Beat me to it.
