As a GC Titans fan, no thanks. Very unwilling to take the line on with any real commitment nowadays and kicking game has become increasingly hit & miss over the past couple of years. Would command a massive salary, based solely on his name, and I think he's contracted until the end of 2014 anyway.
Not the kind of signing we should be looking to make.

Where's that wink gone Jed?

That's who I've heard off a few people but as I said I don't think it will happen personally

Maybe it works the same way as Ice Hockey, I remember when I was involved with them to get a player over and qualify for a Visa they had to play at NHL, IHL/AHL level (2nd Tier) or have played for their Country yet none were ever NHL and very few were even IHL/AHL the vast majority were WCHL, CHL & ECHL.

Nowadays most are from the ECHL and a good number are even just Collegiate players but yet they still qualify for Visas.

I hope not mate, not what we need! More strapping than Rich Horne!

Ive heard scott prince aswell but its just an intrest along with a couple of others .

As I say just what I've heard unlikely due to wages Someone like miller more probable depending if he can get a visa I assume the club will have already sounded out whether he would or not.

We had a visa sorted for Miller, but with him winning toyota cup half back of the year, ht now looks like he will be staying in the NRL.

You would assume that one legacy of the Chase "pursuit" would be that Hull are now pretty clued up on the visa/work permit process/regulations!

Just checking how things stand with Tickle since there have been a few posts on our TIW Board that suggest his move to us might still be on? I had assumed that that would need a replacement forward to be signed by yourselves, which didn't seem likely, but maybe I am wrong.

Adam Pearson said he isnt going anywhere as for replacement forward...you mean apart from Ellis nd Galea...we are also still talking to Aspinwall and have westerman who can play 2nd row...Whiting,Pitts,Kent...so thats 7 who can play there to a high standard....will cost you in excess of £100,000 though.

Unopposed had stated previously that despite Mr Pearson's confirmation that he was staying for 2013, Tickle might be allowed to go, but the implication was that there would be a "new" forward signing who couldn't be announced until November. I realise that you have other players who can play 2nd row, but I suspect this would have to be a further addition. Such a singing wouldn't seem to fit in with AP's recent confirmation that there were 2 new signings to come, one believed to be McDonnell the other being a halfback from the NRL.

If the price is £100k I doubt we would be prepared to go that high for a player with only 12 months left on his contract, as good a player as he is.

The other forward was Bateman mate. Its been on, off, on, off all year. It was very very much on, and Bradford upped their offer and he chose to stay there (which was always his preferred choice)

I don't see us signing another forward now, as Pearson has said 2 more to come, but I think another young back may sign on top of those as well, ,aking it 3 more left to come in.

Tickle won't be leaving now.

We're still waiting for McDonnell to be announced that you said was nailed on to be announced any day now a number of weeks ago lol

That will be announced next week, and I really hope you don't think he hasn't signed!!

What's that meant to be in aid of?

Nah I've stopped caring i'll just wait and see. One way or another ill still be following whoever turns out in B n W next year

As we all will mate

Sadly that it was I thought had happened, a pity from our point of view, as someone of his quality would be very welcome!

If has you said earlier that Jacob Miller is staying in Aus do have any idea of the 2 hal backs we are supposedly talking to.

Miller and Prince. The clubs prefered choice is Miller but his agent is complicating matters.

Bateman had a great deal from us and it was agreed. Didn't look like Bradford could make a decent enough offer for him to stay and he was going to join us. Then they got new owners and SL status and it changed sadly.

It was even on after the new owners came in and their status was decided mate. Contract negotiations broke down and we made another move, which was all done less his signature. Bradford then offered him more and he chose to stay.

We still have a good amount of cap space available, no matter what has been said.
