signing from wigan warriors

If he Brother is right and we have signed Matty Russell the young Wigan FB then it looks to be true.

Shame as he looked good, but he has to put his family first and there is no point keeping an uphappy player.

Frees up loads of cash and a quota spot.

Good day to bury bad news? I'm expecting an announcement from #hullfc today. My sources suggest Wade McKinnon is going immediately

permanent or loan?

Isnt he the kid that they rate very highly

I agree, wholesale changes for next year then

Be great if it was a permanent move. Very highly rated, but will struggled to get a game with Tompkins there. Only played 3 games but has great attacking stats. superleague.co.uk/statistics_pla ... eason=2012

So big wedge of cash to spend for another FB next season, and an additional quota spot.

Any ideas?

Do contracts mean nothing these days?

This is a signing that would make a lot of sense given McKinnon's departure, although I assume that it will only be a loan signing as I don't see Wigan letting one of their promising youngsters go.
I had been expecting to see Horne at fullback with Ellis and Seymour in the halves but I'd be happy with this, too.



You're a ing genius.

Im sat here wondering if AP and Bomber wish that 20 players would go and we could start afresh. When you have cash like AP its not a worry

I believe credit should go to Raggytash, who whne we signed Wade questioned it, very few did, he was hailed as a king before a game. And look where we are now.

I hope the club have some thought and refund anyone who bought a shirt with his name and number, after 12 games into a 28 game season and 3 year deal its a joke really

Excellent prospect, very quick and can step off either foot. He was m.o.m. in last years U20 final v Wire.

It's a good move for both clubs and the player, he's too good for U20 RL. Let's hope the move does as much for him as the Charnley loan move to HKR did.

He is equally as dangerous at fullback or on the wing.

He could be a decent signing if all goes well. He's a very good attacking player with excellent footwork. Don't expect too much of him under the high ball though, he's very poor in that respect, which is why I'm glad he's getting experience dealing with that away from Wigan.

He'd go well at fullback, but he's not looked too good on the wing.

Interesting if true as he is also a year younger than our "future full back" Reece Lyne.

he aint no future full back. he will be gone when his contracts up

To be fair I was only against his signing because I thought he looked very average when I saw him playing for Wests, and his age and injury record wasn't ideal. No-one could have predicted that he wouldn't settle in the area. The only overseas signing I was happy about was Heremaia - and look how that turned out! lol

I am happy about the enforced clearout we're having though, I just wish it didn't involve Turner and Moa.

So this thread is left open, yet the McKinnon leaving one is put in the rumour bin?

eh?

What the f**k is going on at our club?? turning into a complete shambles!!

Get a grip, drama queen

Eh?

Is this aimed at me? Because I don't understand it.

To be fair, all the best moderators on RL fans only lock a thread if they absolutely have to.

Scratch that, didn't see post above.
