Tom Lineham is on there as well, so rumours about him going seem to be wrong as well

How long will Champion last before he gets homesick and wants to return home?

Exactly, we've had this discussion on the last thread. He got homesick at Melbourne and on the Gold Coast, can't see him settling.

I didnt know that,sounds very unpromising.

He wasn't homesick, he used it as a excuse to move clubs. He's ed nowadays, stay well clear.

Instead of signing these bang average overseas players make sure Shaul, Lancaster, Crooks, Abdul, Cunningham get looked after.

And who's recommending Reece Robinson? Hasn't played well all season and is a poor winger, not a bad fb but we've got Shaul.

Lynch, just why did we let him leave?

thought he had a quiet 2013 compared to 2012, could be the club thought he was on the downturn and let go early rather than late, can't get them all right.

Gentles masterstroke of taking the captaincy off him had a lot to do with his form

no doubt we'll get him back when he's 34 and past it

He's 35 in 2 months..

He's 35 in 2 months' time. He was offered a 2 year deal, effectively taking him to 36, at Cas while he had a year to run on his deal at FC.

so why didn't he sign?

Shouldn't this discussion be in the Cup semi thread not really a rumour about Hull Fc

Always better to lose a player a year too early than a year too late.

amazing though, how many players move on and make progress.....

how many ex FC players are in the CC Semi's/Finals?

He did.

apologies, mis-read your post.

Wish he was FC coach.

O'Carroll
Tickle
Dixon
Ellis
Carvell
Wheeldon
Lynch
Briscoe
Although never our player there was Matty Russel too.

apart from briscoe would have none back for next year,

The point being if we'd matched the length of deal Cas offered at that point, folk would have been apoplectic at offering a deal taking him to 36 years of age. People choose to cherry pick "points" to suit whatever downer they have on the club at that point in time. Transparent and disappointing, but there we are.

Aye......Carvell and O'Carroll really progressing.......ojt of them all....would take Dixon and Tickle back

dixon a good pro but think we have better wingers, tickle imo we have had the best years from him, although still a decent player

Who....Lynch

Yes, much better that "Ears" and not a bully either

Should that read "much better THAN"...very poor grammer there.How do you know he would be better,as far as im aware,Lynch has no coaching experience at all,So you would appoint a totally inexpeienced coach over a promoted assistant coach.
