I agree our recruitment up to now has been pretty good, especially as it seems to be in areas which are badly needed and all the signings will add attributes that we dont have, but our recruitment has been so poor in the last couple of seasons we are still way way off being serious throphy challengers again, a few years in my opinion.

As for Tansey in general, I dont think he is good enough to play in the halves week in and week out, but the pleasing thing about him is he is footballer, he has flair, something that the squad is seriously lacking.

I think recent signings are very positive and on paper should perhaps should place us back towards our standing in 2007. I think with the addition of a international standard centre and prop we could be genuine contenders.

No he plays Rugby League, dont get why RL coaches and players saying "footie and football" its Rugby League

Not with FUBAR as coach.

I love it when a rugby player uses the word footy/football, it really winds up the soccer fans up cos they think their sport has the rights to the word football.

Depends, Ive seen him put a couple of bombs up before and a few kicks down field, based on that im guessing he could lump a football up the field no problem, so he qualifies as a city player at least.

It's rugby league football, as in Hull Football Club.

and aren't the governing body the RFL.

What do you imagine the F in RFL stands for? Or for that matter in Hull FC.

He wouldn't know !!! He's clearly more interested in Hull city !!

Yup, that association football club.

Good signing for you black and whites.

he was a liability in his last few months at leeds

Oh dear.

That next year we are going to be awsome -

Gareth Rayner - Gareth Carvell - Ewen Dowes answer please- On a Postcard if you like

Some of you guys are obsessed

For once Im with you Standee a great signing - People on this board have a strange attitude - as far as Hull are concerned Damded if you do Damded if you dont - The 3 signings that have been made this week have really got me sooo interested for next year- get rid of dead wood and we will be ok. Of course we all have our own opinion of who we consider to be dead wood!!

Decent utility addition to the squad. Hope we're not planning to play him at FB full time though

Err i know that but if someone who is watching the game who doesnt follow RL and he heard Agar or someone say " yeah we played well tonight and played some great football " he would be thinking WTF, it doesnt seem right imo

You wouldnt hear Alex Ferguson or someone say "well we did play some good rugby tonight"

Its RUGBY LEAGUE and we should call it by that

and im sure rich has his opinion too

Lyon

You wouldn't hear Alex Ferguson say that, no. That's because it would be stupid. He doesn't manage a rugby team. He manages an "association football" team.
Richard Agar coaches a "rugby league football" team. Therefore, if he says "good football" then it is a correct term.

As for confusing:
RL in Aus is known as footy.
Gridiron in America is known as football
RU in Aus is known as rugby.
RL in the UK is known in some parts as rugby.

Sports are known by a variety of names. It is confusing no matter what. That's because the majority of these sports have the same roots (i.e. from football).
