Have to say I hope this is not true.

after tonight would like to see a complete new right side centre wing partnership!

I thought Sharp did well when he came on tonight. But I agree, Turner is a good back up player but isn't a good enough centre, stand off or loose to merit a selection.

Poor again. And most fans think Atkins is gash.

That's because he is.

Heard a few interesting things tonight and if true then Lord Pearson really does mean business!! The Jamie Lyon rumour has some legs apparently and a few players may find they are looking for a new club next season after being paid off. Also the Lynch deal has fallen through, not sure if that has been mentioned?

Could all be like.

He is more like a dead loss.

The Doyle said tonight in the Sports bar before the match we had a couple of big signings coming in.

Honestly don't care where he ends up just so long as he isn't playing for us next season, he's gash.

Hutch and Hame,got the makings of a comedy show.

Right, lets clear this one up. The 2009 edition of the Operational Rules included this statement in the "termination payments" clause:

[iHowever, save where Clauses 6.1.3 or 6.1.4 applies, the Club shall retain a Salary Cap Value for that Player for the remainder of the term of his old Playing Contract, being the Gross value of the Termination Payment, spread on a pro rata basis over the remaining term of the Playing Contract, notwithstanding that the Player may no longer be registered to play with the Club.[/i

This section was - mysteriously? - dropped from the February 2011 edition. I only spotted that change by doing a line-by-line comparison tonight.

Up until Feb 2011, Mat and I were right. Since then, it looks like you are.

Which means it looks like Bulls can pay off Platt & Sykes with impunity...

Lunch was mentioned on page 1. Heard the Bridge rumour strongly again tonight.

I've heard the Bridge deal has being completed.

Thanks.

The only way bridge will be coming to Hull is if we have offered him a shed load more cash than wire and they'll only be letting him go if they have someone better lined up

That sounds about right.

We desperately need at least 1 more top quality prop as we struggle big time when moa and ogre go off. We're also struggling for cover in the back row as none of the 3 prospects we have there have been given a chance to get some experience

100% agree, which is why Lynch would be ideal for a year or two IMO. Hope the deal's not completely dead as has been suggested. Alternatively people have talked about Tickle going to prop next season which would leave us with Moa, Ogre, Tickle, Radford + academy, which is OK, but leaves us woefully short in the back row. I thought Moa was brilliant last night BTW.

I think there's probably quite a few more comings and goings to happen over the next few weeks.

James Webster to Hull KR as assistant? Chester and Mallinson to Hull FC?

James Webster possibly, the other two I doubt it very much.

first one is possible, Chester supposedly going to Wakey, and I doubt Mallinson would be accepted back by FC, we've not missed him (and he's done nothing of note with KR's fitness)

Lauaki showed last night why we shouldn't even consider a new deal.

O'Carroll?

Forgot about him. Can't keep up with FC at the minute.

Would still like Lynch though.

I think he's gone. Looked to me as if he was saying his final goodbyes after the game.

Had all the aggression coached out of him, making him look a right pudding. I won't be too disheartened to see him leave, however I do think he has potential under the right coach.
