It seems pearson is very shrewd,sign seymour on a 3 year deal and get rid after one.Good business.!

Beat me to it

Pearson didn't sign Seymour, you silly dip stick

The old board signed Seymour, not Pearson.

Prince wants to speak directly to Cartwright about why he is being shoved out of the door at the Titans with a year still to run on his contract before he commits to a three-year contract offer from Hull FC.

The only communication Prince has had with club officials since news broke of a potential move to the English Super League has been a text message and email he received from co-owner Michael Searle, who is holidaying with Cartwright in the US.

It is believed the text message simply read "it's a tough time for all of us" and "hang in there", but the email was much more forthright and told Prince he was not wanted in 2014.

Prince wants to thrash out the issue with Cartwright, but the coach did not take his mobile phone with him to the US, leaving him uncontactable when the drama broke.


Cartwright will arrive home today and the halfback is keen for an immediate resolution given pre-season training at the Titans, or Hull, begins in less than two weeks.

Prince has not given up hope he can remain at the Titans next year.

"He wants to talk to Carty before deciding what he's going to do," a source said yesterday.

Titans CEO David May yesterday insisted Prince could remain with the club next year, but he knows the coach and skipper must discuss the situation to ensure a peaceful resolution.

"We are very keen to connect John and Scott when he gets back," May said. "We just want him to make his decision first. If he decides to stay, he is welcome to stay."

This is not the first time Prince has felt a push towards the door.

Last year he confronted Searle and told him in no uncertain terms that he would not be walking out after being shopped around overseas.

Earlier this season he was equally determined not to make way for Cooper Cronk.

Expecting a similar push to come again, Prince had explored options to remain in Australia before the Hull offer arrived, via someone other than his own management, fuelling the belief the scenario has been orchestrated by the Titans.

Prince is not keen to head overseas, but with just one year left on his contract and Searle making it clear the option for the 2014 season will not be activated, heading to Hull is the veteran's best prospect.

Jacob miller would be better out the pair simply for his age, you can build a team around him as long as you can get him settled in hull, unless of course he's fancies a crack at the nrl after his contract expires but either way prince would be gone at the end of his so you've got nothing to lose

Right now Prince is the (far) superior player.

Miller move blocked by Potter at Wests. HDM .

Maybe Seymour's supposed payoff people have mentioned isn't a payoff out of the club,rather we have payed him a lump sum and reduced his salary to give us more room on the cap?

Time is running out for Scott Prince to confirm a move to Hull FC after the English Super League club issued a "final offer" while setting its sights on Wests Tigers halfback Jacob Miller.

Prince is at risk of missing out on a lucrative three-year UK deal with his future at the Gold Coast Titans still unresolved and Hull FC hinting that Miller may provide more long-term value.

While Prince was initially their "top target", Hull FC owner Adam Pearson said the race to fill their halfback vacancy would now come down to who snapped up the Super League contract first.

Prince met with Hull FC coach Peter Gentle on the weekend but the former Test halfback failed to commit to the long-term offer.

Advertisement Instead, Prince opted to wait and meet with John Cartwright when the Titans coach returned from an overseas off-season trip on Wednesday in order to discuss his future at the Gold Coast.

It is believed Prince is still deciding whether to see out his Titans contract or fly out to the UK and extend his career.

Sheens probably lost his job by not giving him a shot, quite surprising after the way he brought through Lui.

Cheers, Mick.

I guess the whole Ellis persuading him to come story will be a waste of time, then.

Why all the panic? Unopposed said Prince had already signed at the weekend, it's as if people don't believe him!

Unopposed seems to have gone into hiding like Bitv Biff did

From AP's comments last night nothing more can be done, Miller deal now looking less likely from HDM but if the source is McDonnels father probably correct.

Prince stalling, and as AP confirmed negotiations had been ongoing for several weeks he has probably had time to decide whether the move would be right for him and his family. So to me he's looking at options in the NRL (St George?)

Dissapointing that we haven't sorted the 7 position as hoped but looks like we will have to run with Seymore and look again for 2014.

We heard it from the horse's mouth last night so nothing Unopposed could add regarding McDonnel, Prince or Miller.

He may have some new rumours though........

Maybe he just doesn't feel the need to come on here everyday?

The thought of going with Horne/Seymour at SH is a depressing one.

Rather have Goldie.

Not having a dig at Unopposed mate, far from it!! I don't blame him for going to ground, the same way as Bitv Biff did, with all the little digs and comments aimed at them.

Pearson said last night that he had been negotiating with Prince for 3 weeks before it had become 'public'. Some people on here had mentioned Prince before the HDM got wind, but got accused of making it up.

Have to agree, although the thought of Golspie being our regular halfback is also equally as depressing, if we don't sign another halfback I don't think we will kick on as much as expected.

about £380k

Rovers were spending £320k on just Green and Sloth

Yeah what we should have done was give him a 3 year deal, get some cardboard cut outs in the east stand of him, be unable to bring him over till our best player was crocked, de reg the best player bring the Aussie in, charge fans to see him train, play him a couple of games then let him go back for nothing, well not really nothhing, he'd cost us £200k.

Thats what we should have done!

Fooking Potter. Never liked that tw@.
How he landed that job god only knows, he did nowt at St's and only managed respectability this season due to the players closing ranks over the clubs uncertainty.
I'll give him 6 months.

If we don't land Prince I hope we don't panic and wait it out for mr right.

To be honest, do we really think a 20 year old aussie prospect was gong to come to Hull?
