Oh well, plenty of time to sign a replacement. It's not like the season is almost half way through or anything

TRANSLATION: "Mummy, mummy look at me... I'm pulling my winkie really hard."

This a valid question.

But knowing the club, they wont do anything!!

Any player is for sale,at the right price!!

Parramatta and Manly, would gladly take £100,000 for a contracted player.

Ring James Rule tonight on KCFM and put the question to him, he's on at 7pm til 8pm.

And if we signed one now, when exactly do you think we'd see him run out in a Hull shirt?

2012

I totally agree with you that there must be some way of using this seasons excess cap in a positive way for now OR next season.

I just can't see the board looking at it that way. There are sizable loans that need "servicing" and like i said before they are a business and they already have this years sponsorship and season pass money.

Very disappointing news but at least we finally know.

I can see your point, but who's to say that Crocker wants to bother with a challenge? His contract was technically invalidated when his visa was rejected, so we aren't in a position to force him.

I am naturally disappointed, but not surprised. Shame, but it's history, time to move on.

Who would you sign for this season who would actually be able to play this season?

Mmm if you listen to the hullfc tv interview with james rule on michael crocker, he says that Crocker has been "throwing up potential players"

Cool

Also, if we don't do the right thing by Crocker, who the hell is gonna sign for Hull after that?

Not worth it!!!

He's already indicated, that its hard to sign a contracted player,and they are looking at next season. etc etc same old spiel!!

Message to Mr Rule.

We always hear, how financially succesfull, the club is!!

The club has allegedly not paid any salary to Crocker, use that salary,and the compensation from Warrington for Carvell,and another fee from Leeds for Thackray to entice a club to sell a player, we need!!

Plenty of clubs, are in a perilous position,and have quality players.

Make them an offer,they cant refuse!!

Time to offer Orford a huge wad for his services from 2010.Think we can draw a line under this season.

Like who??

I take it you're talking about super league teams?

glad we've got the decision really, can get on with it now... good luck in whatever you do mick.

.

but we need to release him if he signs for another team i.e south rabbitohs but are fc prepared to release him

Have to say I'm gutted for Crocker, the club and us fans as think he would have been a big player not only for Hull FC but for SL as a whole.
Think the decision is total bollox and it stinks but they've made their decision an the wipes they are won't change in and only dig their petty heels in further if we try.

It has some what derailed this season as we are still awaiting clearance for Luaki and chances are even if we sign a player from overseas we won't see them in a Hull shirt in this country until next season in all honesty due to the rediculous length of time it now takes to apply and receive a visa.

Very disappointed.

Gutted that we won't be seeing Crocker in a black and white shirt but, as most people are saying, it's time to move on.
Hopefully the news on Lauaki will be good whenever we find out.

Disappointed he isn't coming but at least now we know. If we was to go for a SH he would have to be British to play this season. Or already here

Who do you want us to sign?

Ritchie myler

thats what happens every year though mate,
the players we know we need have all been discussed as coming the season after for the past few years,
theres plenty to play for now.

would a Kiwi or Aussie with a E.U passport have to go through this visa process?

i'm really pleased about the Crocker situation being resolved as he can get back earning again a.s.a.p

Just heard this on the KCFM 5 o clock bulletin...the crazy announcer said as a headline...'breaking news on the signing of Croker to Hull KR'....I nearly choked on my dinner till the full news story came out and he corrected himself to FC.....
