I can't see us going into next season without Horney, no ones knows if Ellis will be good enough at this level, he could be another Danny Brough or alternatively another Chris Thorman.

Probably gone out and topped themselves after all the negativity that appears on our forum.
(We sign a player,he gets shot down before he even gets here.)

His private life is just that - private. I knew someone would trot out the "we pay his wages" line.

Technically I help pay the wages of hundreds of thousands of civil servants but I have no right to know what is happening in their private lives, nor discuss them on the internet.

(Sorry for going off topic again).

Got to agree I can't see us offloading Horne and to b efIr I don't think we should. I like Obst a lot, more than Horne in some respects, but with the squad shaping up as it is, Horne gives us more options for team reshuffles if needed IMO and if it came down to a choice between the two I would keep Horne.

@HDMEditor just tweeted:

Finally tomorrow, #HullFC coach Richard Agar says a deal for Aussie Brett Seymour is not done & dusted although he says he's KC-bound.

Is it me but is this the worst kept secret since Ryan Giggs started watching Big Brother.

Or just Hull being paranoid after Crocker and (tee hee) Mason?

Edit - Arrgh - hideous been/being error

I don't think they have anything to worry about visa wise just funny that still no word from Hull when even he's telling the media h's signed.

Could be to do with the current players on quota? Maybe Agar is tossing a coin?

I could have sworn our insider said the club would announce on Wednesday.

Good for them. Must admit it is pretty boring most of the time. A new coach would bring them flooding back though

If he hasn't yet completed the paperwork they're hardly going to announce it

He didn't say which wednesday though

Doh! got me there.
I will go underground then and resurface next Wednesday in the hope of the announcement!

Technically, he never said it would be the club that announced it.

Technically, seymour announced it on Tuesday

According to Agar (HDM) he hasn't signed - yet. I understand the club being cautious, things haven't always gone according to plan before, so they are wise not to announce before everything is in place.

Had it not come out on Twitter that he'd picked us over Bradford I doubt we'd be hearing anything just yet, surely the club need a signing for their season pass boost in October/November?

Not what he said though was it.

Watched him play in his comeback game today v Melbourne Storm (top of NRL).
Very good defensive and just seemed ok attacking but Storm only concede one try a game at the moment.

canberra's 4th choice scrum half looks like a world beater in SL so I think seymour will go OK

9 missed tackles today by seymour.

how many completed?

It's been a problem for the Warriors all season.
