Wigan are far stronger than us, they could get away with playing Russell at 1.

They can even play O'loughlin at 6 or bring Mellor back from Widnes.

We could have a amazing performance from a patched up side but I certainly wouldn't expect a win in the play offs.

Atm Hkr and Leeds are 7th and 8th 1 and 2 points behind us and, if we carry on playing like we are, in 3 weeks they'll overtake us.

Shannon McDonnell.

Gollum has just said it on humberside, 2 year deal.

Fuck he's a terrible reporter.

Two year deal it seems.

So where not signing a 6 or Horne's going to be a expensive cover player.

Or retire?

Could do, doubt it though.

So if humberside say he's coming to us id expect him to stay at rovers

Gollum kept saying substantial.



Has he sorted his Irish passport out yet?

Hope he can settle in West Hull and doesn't get homesick.

He might have to move further out, I can't see Hkr fans being very happy.

If it's true, would be pretty happy. Not many quality FBs in the competition, looks a decent player.

Rather have him than Kearney

Said the same thing mate. He ha a solid game for the Exiles, but I have been critical of him when I've seen him. We'll see, a specialist full back is definatley a plus.

....the Hull KR full back has joined Hull FC accordingto Radio Humberside

Totally agree, good signing and at 24 years old has more good years to come.

Only one reservation, where does this leave Richard Horne?

Hope not at 6 for next season.

He's bang average but even that's better than most of the UK FB's.

In hdm today tickles says ..ive got a place in but my family are in wigan and I do a bit of commuting

Heard Giants are interested in Tickle,any chance of a swap deal?

Also in the Mail, McRae hints about the signing of Liam Watts - he says if a player comes with "baggage" then that can be handled by stipulations in a contract and that players are signed primarily for their rugby league skills.

Sounds like Watts will be here for the Huddersfield game.

Craig Sandercock is quoted as saying Watts leaving is "probably the best thing for Liam and for Hull KR. We are trying build a team culture where no individual is bigger than the team." Miaow.

Where?

Sorry ,in hull

I mean where in the HDM.

A separate story inside. Nothing new in it: honoured to be offered a contract... don't want to rush... leave it to other parties... concentrate on rugby, etc.

good signing, ive just had a text of our kid saying the same
