How do you know he's on vacation

How many of those players were brought in by the clubs at 30+ ?

Cusack out, Murphy in, that takes our average age down to 25.3, the lowest of the top 5 and the fewest players 30+

Why would that matter?

To be honest, we don't need Murphy, it's just a slap in the face to both Tuffour and Lyne.

And yet you are the lowest of the 5, Next you'll be telling us that your over 30s have missed more games than the others and that you are just obviously unlucky on that front

It doesn't. What does is how reliant you are on the older players and how injury prone these players are. Fc's key players arre at the top of the list, the other 4 teams aren't as reliant on theirs.

And you have fewer over 30s still and are below us. What does that tell you?

They've only been signed to push the pensioners around in their wheelchairs

That's where we've been going wrong, maybe agar is a coaching genius after all

Ah, knew i could rely on you to put a negative slant on the signing of 17 up and coming stars!

Why do you care?

I wanted to know (HTH)

Cheers, don't like to disappoint.

I'll be more positive when we see them come through into the first team. Honest

Stop being lazy and do the research yourself!

What about the ones that already have?

this thread is proof (if it were needed) that as soon as anyone is linked with hull they are instantly hailed as 10 times the player they actually are. fielden is garbage and has been for at least 4 years. a signing like him would show how far backwards hull have gone and a positive reaction to it show how backward thinking the "old faithful" are.

fielden isnt the same player he was back in 2005 but as improved to a level were he must be close to a england call up. for me he would be a good signing as long as the money was right, a very good replacement for cusack, and i hope this aaron murphy rumour is true, good young player can play anywere in the threequaters and has pace and can defend.

Difficult one for me this. One one hand we've signed another player that's past his peak, on the other hand we need to replace Cusack and don't have a quota spare so if LMS is going to Saints he may well be the best available to us. I reckon he'll bring a more to the team next season than Cusack has but I really worry about the 2nd year.

Not at all, between Lyne and Tuffour there's one super league appearance. Murphys been one of Wakefield better players this season and can play full back.

Sign Murphy as a back up for Tansey who can then play in the halfs.

Looking at the wakey forum it does say he lacks pace which is a bit worrying, as we lack pace at the moment.

As for Fielden, he is the best prop at the best club, very fit and doesn't miss many games, hopfully we will sign him, a 2 year contract could entice him if Wigan are only offering one year, miles better than Cusack, Dowes and Radford. Would improve our team.

Him, Murphy and another back (hopfully a halfback) and we will have a decent squad next year.

So I was right when I said we just don't sign old men and we have plenty of youth within our squad.

better late than never

Can the Op rename this "The Mrs B ownage thread" ta.

Why would they do that when the thread is about Fielden?
