jpr williams i heard that too! brett kenny was supposed to sign the same time as peter sterling but chose wigan instead can you imagine those two at halfback for fc in 1985 wembley final ,i remember fred ah kuoi was supposed to come the same time as kemble ohara and leuluai but didnt come till later

john joyner "done deal"

Yes, JPR Williams very nearly signed for Hull. I thik he would have been working at HRI too as he was in the medical profession.

It would have been the biggest union to league signing in years.

I remember Hull making a big play for Stacey Jones shortly before McRae left for Souths. We've not had much luck recently in bringing top quality scrum halves to Hull.

warren jowitt actually played for fc, only about 3 games, but he wasnt a nearly man........














unfortunatly

Danny Orr?

Gareth Ellis !!!! before he signed for the Whinos 1

Dave Hoskins....Before he signed for the Famous Hull KR

You could write a book on how many no7's we've missed out during the KC Era!

Paul Cooke nearly signed, but just could not get his pen to work

The two South Africans supposed to have comming only good old Wigan was at airport picked them up and signed them.

Was said our board paid for flights?

Du Toit & someone who's name I've forgotten

Andy gregory - supposedly sorted out with a chef's job at Crest ?

Read recently John Woods biggest regret was NOT signing for Hull.

Not. true. Leeds was always Gareth's first choice when he decided to leave Wakefield.

The biggest "done deal" in RL history. At the time (1982?) it seemed as if everyone in the City was "in the know" even down to his alleged job at Crest.

just goes to show that being unable to capture a top class scrum-half is hardly a new phenomenon with Fc

A winger by the name of Ray Modt.

Phil Blake, around 1989?
