Two very good signings and exactly what we need. Sneyd will add some long term stability and Pryce will be around just long enough to bring the likes of Paula and HTW through.

At the very least we should find out now if its the half backs that make the difference or the coaching and structures in place.

Rather have Lancaster on the wing then Talanoa

I think you may have your wish granted.

I predict a T shirt for next year lol

Too early for me to agree with that. Would like to see Lancaster get an extended run though to see how good he really is.
Held his own against Leeds back line which is no mean feat so the kid obviously has something! Played in two walk overs after that. However he has one big thing Tuli doesn't and that is pace. Still, I've been very happy with Tuli this year. He has perform add better than I expected but has a poor try return for a winger.

A lot of bitterness on the independent Cas Forum about Sneyd coming to Hull. One poster claiming that Pearson had said he wouldn't be spending big money anymore as we would focus on Hull youngsters, then another poster saying we cannot rely on our youngsters as our youth program is crap!

Shaul, Lineham, Lancaster, Crooks, Abdul, Green, Bowden, Cunningham, Hadley, and so on.....

Also a lot of people saying we have paid too much, who cares Pearson has the money and if he thinks its a good investment then why shouldn't he pay a fee. We could have a top halfback for the next 10 years if Sneyd works out well, I rather that than get 2/3 years out of an overseas player.

Potentially very good recruitment, as on paper it could be exactly what we need. However (there always seems to be a catch these days), this has been true to say of several half back signings in recent years, and there are still factors we're gambling on this time, so I'll wait and see how it pans out before getting excited.

Also, I personally think it's a shame that Miller hasn't worked out for us. I still think he could become a very good player, he just seems to have got lost this year and isn't developing quickly enough for us. A consistent good quality half back partner and better support/runners may have also helped him, as I think Robbo4 makes a very good point:



I think it's both. If we don't improve significantly with our off the ball efforts then new halves will only improve us so much. It's too easy to point at the players in question and say that a change of personnel will solve nearly all of our woes. We might have brought in a couple of players who make better choices, but we still need to work on providing them with better options from which to choose.

Cas fans are just upset because their perception that Marc Sneyd loved the club and loved the fans has been shattered. Some thought he would come back to Salford, sit in the stands for 12 months and move to Cas on a free in 2016. They suffer with dellusions of grandeur down Wheeldon Road. If you listened to how they've spoken about Marc this season you'd think he would be worth a million pound, no Hull have signed him for £100k he "isnt worth it".

Not the best board to be slagging Cas off on.

Pryce and Radford ex team mates from bulls 2005 team...wonder which other old pals he's tapping up?

That Peacock has potential.

I'll be cheering for Cas at wembley even more now. Looking forward to Sneyd getting here, hope we can keep the pressure off him.

Possible that we may have overpaid but Sneyd was under contract, other clubs were after him, we had missed out on our other targets and AP paid what it took to get his man.

I don't have a problem with that.

You know what I couldn't give two figs about Cas and especially that mickey mouse outfit Salford. To me the club is getting itself in good shape as regards to young homegrown talent. It may take a bit of time but the club is on the right track with these signings I just hope we can secure a couple more quality players Taylor being one of them.

I just really hope we as supporters really get behind them and give them TIME to blossom and get to grips with the team/squad.

If we get on there cases after 3 games in (likely scenario) we might as well just chuck them on the scrapheap like all the others. Please for once people just get behind the half backs and let them do there thing, the best thing about recent away games is that the moaners have kept away and we as a team have played well as no negativity is in the air.

If your going to moan and get on the back of them please don't buy a season pass, we can be doing without you.

Thing is, Miller and Rankin came late to the side. No pre-season to speak of and a stupid army camp.
Get them in early, 10 days in Espana and champing at the bit for some action.

2 of the best signings we could have made. Well done to AP.

I'm just happy that it looks like all of our business will be done before pre-season, allowing the players enough time to gel. I really don't want to be seeing squad numbers in the 30's next year.

Amen to that, at least we have cut down from squad numbers in the 40's.

Exactly. These two signings and especially the Sneyd one have really excited me about next season and beyond

I was talking to one of Scott Taylors relatives on sunday and was told hes definitely coming to Hull next season on a four year deal.

You really should be more grateful that that mickey mouse outfit has kindly sold you one of its benchwarmers.

You should have kept him for yourself then you wouldn't be third from bottom and only avoiding a relegation battle because another team has been deducted points.

No.

Staying here or moving on, 50/50 on him as on his day he can be an outstanding prop, but it not constant enough?
