shame unfactual rubbish that has continued for the past 4 years 6 months 23 days 21 hrs 47 mins and 10 secs, oh and where signing greg inglis.

Swap deal wiv Burgess from Bradford for Thorman plus we get 250k

Rule out sold us down the river again we should have held out for 300k

Still Awaiting couple more Big Signings.. Big Quiet at the mo!

i remember a few years ago when our big signing turned out to be warren jowitt so you may be disappointed

Dont worry Casual... Fingers in pies as they say!..

hock to sign for hull in two years tme

I'm starting to get a strong feeling that we're all going to be very underwhelmed with our signings !!!

I can't be the only one can I ??

Just like every pre-season we're "linked" with every world star and we end up with a Todd Byrne type signing followed by a Peter Cusack !!!

Dont Worry Whitestar!! Things will be good!

well i cant believe what im reading here...

cos im not like you

I really hope we don't get Azuie. On his day he does offer good good impact but is far too error prone for me. Too many dropped balls, missed tackles and penalties, plus his age goes against him. Would rather continue with Moa.

Wheeldon wanted 60k(which Rovers also offered him) and Hull said No they wasn't going to pay him that, he aint that good.

Would be a disgraceful signing
Give roversa decent young englishman, sign in a hasbeen kolpak. Great smashing super.

Yes Rovers will have to promote more youngsters now like alot of other teams instead of having half a team of Aussies and PNG players.

They don't have to play them though. Esders, Watts and Spaven are in the first team squad and have played 1 SL game between them this season. Complying with the squad composition requirements is one thing, doesn't mean they have to field homegrown players. Plus the latest RFL fudge on overseas classifications makes it easier to rely on overseas players.

You right the ruling is a complete joke !

More of that good old blind optimism ????

I can't help feeling that the Kite, Lyon, Atkins etc..etc.. rumours will just fizzle away and we'll end up making a couple of very underwhelming signings whilst retaining a few players who nobody else wants.

I obviously hope that I'm very wrong but I'm getting that feeling of de ja vu which I tend to get most seasons with regards to Hull FC.

The clubs most recent signings are:

Luauki
Fitzgibbon
Long
Tansey

all for me represent very good signings. If we sign two more of an equal ilk, i will be quite happy.

My apologies to all for being rosy and possitive.

Hmmm, personally I see two ageing players being released by their clubs (who obviously feel their best years are behind them) to secure lucrative deals as a reward for previous service.

Lauaki is the type of player that is useful if his pack are on the front foot, I would have thought the acquisition of a front rower that could get us on the front foot would have been more important.

Tansey has shown nothing to suggest he is anything other then average.

Wrong,Wrong,Wrong,Wrong Long was not released he was offered a one year deal and Fitzgibbon told Sydney he wanted to come to Hull, 4 good signings and two more to come.

You thinking Lauaki's a halfback or something?

As a big-ass forward he [iis[/i precisely the sort we need for getting us on the front foot, that will be his job along with our other forwards. He won't be coming to play on the back of others, so I don't get what you mean.

Lauaki is the type of player who gets his pack on the front foot.

That must make walking a bit tricky!

Silly me, money obviously had nothing to do with it whatsoever.



In fact, I'm suprised Slater, Inglis and Folou haven't been in touch. Surely they'd want to sign up to our attractive brand of rugby football.

Erm, no.



All I was implying was that he has a reputation of being an impact prop and let's face it, our pack needs to be doing the basics before thinking about impact. IMO Cusack is our only front rower that has good go forward. Dowes hits the line and stops, Thackray bounces of and runs sideways (if he manages to hold the ball) and King thinks he's a half back. I would also like to see Maloney and Moa given a decent opportunity.
