If he gives 80% of what Swain did I'll be happpy, never got the fuss about Fitzgibbon.

Wow, you really have a downer on overseas players, don't you?

Did Dave Webber fook your missus or something? You strike me as the sort of person who'd be cuckolded.

Then you know knackall.

I know plenty, but feel free to keep being abusive if it makes you feel clever.

Having followed the Titans and Scott Prince for a few years now, I can say with no doubt that if he did sign he would be 100% committed. Prince is a lot closer to the Fitzgibbon end of the scale in terms of professionalism.

He'd have no problems getting a visa either, he's cleaner than soap.

It's probably taking so long because its a big decision to make, it's no secret that his wife was homesick when they lived in Sydney, and I'm sure he wants to be certain it's the right thing to do for his family.

As for the money, I'm sure that with all his sponsorship over there with Adidas etc. I doubt an extra 2 years in SL would be hugely different to one year on the Gold Coast. I'd bet he'd make somewhere around £400-500k in one year if he stayed, how much do we think we're paying him? £200k a season max I reckon, probably back loaded with his 3rd year paid off.

Are you saying Fitzgibbon didn't give his all when playing for Hull, or did you miss Dave's point completely?

Plus the price of that brand new house he's just had built by the beach.


The only reason he'll come here for is a financial one. (don't blame him).

Just my theory but I reckon he thinks the Titans have effectively removed him from their squad and as such he wants some compensation for that. There have been rumours that Gold Coast initiated this some time ago and if that's the case then despite their public announcements about hoping he'll stay (to placate their own fans) in reality they don't really mean it. I think he'll sign for Hull but wants what's due to him first. He may think he's in a stronger negotiating position before signing our contract than after. Just my theory.

From what ive heard thats sounds about right staffs . Titans were offering him around the nrl during the season .

Any ideas why they want to get rid of him?

Salary cap, their recruitment policy has been stupid.

has he got 3 years left in him?

Cynic.

I'd say he's got two very good years in him in SL. His injury record is superb and he looks after himself so three may not be such a stretch. I doubt he'd be here for three, smells of a Hicks style pay off to me.

I think thats about spot on. Titans could of put this to bed ages ago if they had really wanted too by rejecting Hulls approach.

If i had to guess.

Prince has signed.

Gold coast had to lose him to go for Thurston for 2014 (the salary cap works different in Aus).

Gold coast are saying they still want him to appease sponsors.

Fook me this is getting messy. No way will he be at Titans next year. I would of thought Wednesday for a conclusion is looking slimmer by the minute.

AP can buy him a nice little spot in Ferriby with a Humber view as long as it means getting hold of him, as far as I give a fook.

Check the date.

Prince had no case to answer.

Your guess is as good as mine mate tbh. I would have thought no 10 years ago but there is enough players 32+ still going at it at top sl level to prove things have changed over the last 5 or so years to give me faith that he could go for another 3 years . Hopefully we will at least get to find out ..... BEL13VE

Correct but do you honestly think Prince would come over here for a three year contract worth 600g?

I'd say not.

Why? Where else could he earn a million dollars?

2010. cheers Sheldon and cheers wizeb for misleading me.


I've not be this mislead since Jimmy Saville fixed it for me to go camping with Gary Glitter.
