you can't say that and not give us any names

James Smailes said last night, in response to a call regarding a NZ prop,

He has the impression, that nobody will be signed from the NRL.

I don't think we will either. Think it's British forwards we're signing. Chase, Holdsworth and McDonnell the only overseas new signings.

Well I created a topic asking if there was still an announcement today and it got locked why i do not know because it isn't rumour? And I didn't see anywhere else to ask the question. Or was it because it was regarding chase and any other topic that gets created about this man is locked without even been read. But it seems the rumours thread is where you discuss anything. Even salary cap and ukab regulations.

So back to my original question is there still an announcement today ?

No there never was to be an announcement.

Thank you for a grown up response!

Not even with the "deadline"

No I think you've read to much into what McRae had to say. Our signings (those that have been concluded) will be announced on the 4th as Pearson mentioned some weeks back.

Do we know when we will find out? it's september isn't it?

Maybe he is referring to this: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/19400027 However it doesn't say when the club might be making an announcement regarding the result at the end of the deadline. Smales on twitter was saying they seemed positive based on feedback from the lawyers.

Starting to think there will be no NRL prop. Still not sure we will get Taylor either. Not this season anyway.

Which English props are we signing then?

We need 2.

They could be overseas signings from SL? Smailes said yesterday he doesn't think the Elima rumour has died out

I'll get mysen back to school then..! You knew what I meant lol..!

110% was simply to emphasis the fact, I think he's come on leaps and bounds, IMO.... shame he had a couple of injurys....!

the term "mysen" must be like a foreign language to tractor boys eh??

When they hear my accent down here I get the odd funny look, It's a nice place but you have to either have webbed feet or have the the capability of throwing high 6's to get totally on side with the locals..! Traveling is the worse part get stuck behind a Harvester on A47 and ur day is pretty much taken up..!

still view is rather nice.......

I think Chase is in the bag but we are going to be teased for a while. Both clubs will make out nothing is happening then either after we have played Cas or have being knocked out the play offs Chase will be announced.

Agreed, Smailes said yesterday something along the lines that he was 75% certain the Chase deal was done. I read that to mean that he's had confirmation from a trusted but not official source (maybe Big Brother

)

I know one, the other i dont know. Taylor if a deal can be struck.

Not telling us who it is then Paul

Amor?

Almost a french love

Hull I have heard are signing 3 nrl props,kite,masila,galloway,as well as chase taylor,lovegrove,finch,marshall,lyon,brough and several other great players from both sides of the world.
Hull fc must be the most famous club in the rugby league world with all the publicity they get regarding,drug scandals,former chairman lying about various things,playing inelligible players in the challenge cup and forcing the rfl to change the rules.The aussies must be so envious of you.!

Don't feed the troll, people.....

Is that really regarded as trolling nowadays?!!! The standard has certainly dropped (a bit like KR's playing squad)
