I'd normally agree with that but the fact the it's easter changes things. Players with hardly any SL experience will struggle to play Friday/Monday.

You're right! It did start in the rumour thread and I moved it out as it is supposed to be announced today. If it doesn't happen I will merge it!

Good move. Best to do it now rather than pick up injuries tomorrow and have to play half the 20s next Friday/Monday. Adds strength in depth for the busy period. We risk the potential for having to call on too many young forwards for Rovers/Hudds if we have a bad day with knocks tomorrow and this helps to offset that a bit. Pitts will get to train with the team next week in preparation.

Not a sleight on our young players in the slightest. They're getting a better deal this season than they've ever had.

Spot on

There hasn't been any official announcement so technically it's still a rumour. Jut because you think there's going to be an official announcement doesn't make it a done deal. You could create a Elliott Whitehead done deal topic and it would have the same meaning. I'm not saying we aren't signing him but certain mods move delete threads that seem to be inappropriate yet they do the same thing.

Exactly. One rule for one, another for another

James Smailes on twitter has said he expects an announcement from the KC later today so its more then a rumour...

If you and jehull don't like it (and getting wound up by what threads are allowed and what threads are moved is small beer compared the problems in the world today) then the door is just over there

Announced. hullfc.com/newsarticle.aspx?n=20877 2 and a half year deal, no fee. Interesting..... Most likely going to be playing at prop: '“Whilst he’s known predominantly as an edge back rower, he can actually play at prop as well and that is where we anticipate using him. '"

Permanent Deal not a loan. 2.5 years

Thread title needs changing...

Good signing, well done Hull!!

I'll accept the apology now

A young prop with experience a good signing.

Funny after whats been said by AP about Leeds nicking Briscoe and taking them to a tribunal that we have nice words to say about them now. Perhaps things are now smoothed over.

I like this deal a lot more now.

Good move and another good young British player. Well done FC.

Lock it! It's not even a rumour.



Good long term signing for me.

No more please i cant take it! Why wasnt you all raving about him before? Never seen anyone talk about him as being great now hes signed hes world class hahahaha injury crisis biting is it?

Who said he was world class ?

Have you just ejaculated?

Good signing need a prop for next season got him in early.

I'll raise you Scott Wheeldon against Jay Pitts.



No one has said he's "world class" If you read back what has been said, [imost[/i people are describing him as a "good young (British) forward"

I've checked the thread and it would appear the only one who described him as that was ... Willowred.

You've got to hand it to (some) Rovers fans - they're great at typing before thinking

Can't honestly remember seeing a great deal of him, but he has decent experience for his age and could be a good signing. Happier with it being a permanent deal rather than the loan suspected, as it is now us developing someone for our own benefit instead of another club's, and it also brings the average age of our pack down, which is a bonus.

Don't think we'll be keeping both Moa and O'Meley now, as I reckon we should still be looking at bringing at least 1 prop in in the close season, preferably a more established player.

Better news still welcome to Hull FC Jay.

some on the leeds forum rate him highly,they gutted that hes come to hull, looks a good signing young british forward not many kicking about, well done hull
