Only thing that would really put me off about Nene would be his lack of club loyalty, he seems to change clubs every season. I could see Rovers offering a swap with Gildart going the other way.

[quote="mwindass":29vzc5cf]Only thing that would really put me off about Nene would be his lack of club loyalty, he seems to change clubs every season. .[/quote:29vzc5cf] It was only a few weeks ago that after playing well for PNG he was courting NRL offers. I suppose though if the quota dispensation scenario did happen it would only be a season anyway so you’d have to review it after a year, you’d get a year of quality out of him. I’m not sure the Salford situation will play out like that and don’t think anyone will get quota dispensation for anyone anyway. You have to look at where the story originated and who’s pulling the strings doesn’t take a genius to work out, that’s just the suggestion of one particular club, maybe after a few drinks in the bar.

[quote="mwindass":1vf5etxc]One of those ITK accounts on twitter saying the Sneyd thing isn't happening. I now expect the club to announce his return on Monday [/quote:1vf5etxc] Seems adamant that he's going to Leigh and that we are set to sign Cross

Mcdonald would be off as soon as an offer comes in, I would be very wary of signing him, however Id good he is. I'd be happy with Cross. I can give or take Sneyd, would improve us, but not the exact halfback we need, like I was with Lam I wouldn't be too disappointed if he didn't come. Nikorima could be an option, think we were close to signing him on loan last year.

[quote="RockNRolla":omspo7t2]Seems adamant that he's going to Leigh and that we are set to sign Cross[/quote:omspo7t2] Proceed with caution with that account. He once said we were signing Bevan French.

Surely we would of spoke to sneyd first to see if he was happy to come us before we tabled an offer, why would we waste our time? Unless we've been used to get more out of leigh or for us to bump up the fee for our mate Derek?

I could see Rovers offering a swap with Gildart going the other way.[/quote:1kqopr15] We have no right to expect loyalty after cancelling several contracts and paying players off in the past few seasons. There is very little loyalty in sport. Clubs and players use each other in equal measure for on field success and financial reward.

I'm looking at the Sneyd situation and thinking he's not coming. Therefore who else is out there that we can get?

I'm really keen to see what Balmforth can do, could be a big regret if we don't give him a chance and we lose him. If we go with Cust and Seizer short term, he should get a decent run off the bench.

[quote="REVENUE":1h10n3qy]Ben Reynolds ?[/quote:1h10n3qy] Did alright for us actually in that spell when we were poor rather than terrible but he's probably burned his bridges.

On the Sneyd situation I’d rather we looked for a running half as good as Sneyd was for us and has been for Salford I just wouldn’t see him & Sezer working. Think Cust & Sezer will be a good combination but the question is can they stay on the field enough. Hopefully both will have a long injury free run but this is Hull FC.

[quote="Armavinit":3mrakyrk]He was on loan and Fev offered him a cotract [/quote:3mrakyrk] Yes I am aware of that, grumpy.

[quote="ComeOnYouUll":394d3w00]Yes I am aware of that, grumpy.[/quote:394d3w00] The point I was trying to make was obvious, you said he’s burnt his bridges, I disagree, he did what was best for him at the time, Grumpy.

[quote="Armavinit":1mxyqrs2]The point I was trying to make was obvious, you said he’s burnt his bridges, I disagree, he did what was best for him at the time, Grumpy.[/quote:1mxyqrs2] [i:1mxyqrs2]My[/i:1mxyqrs2] point was that he signed for Hull on loan until the end of the season but (in the words of Dan Tomlinson) walked out on the club. Grix said he found out ten minutes before the Mail did. Not that it matters as he won't be on our radar anyway.

Reynolds left us in the lurch last year. Had he stayed we'd have won a few more games imo. He won't be coming back

Keeping the salary cap space for a mid season signing is another option, there are always players who've done something stupid, fallen out with their clubs, got homesick living just up the road etc etc

The likes of Dufty and French came to SL mid season.

Seems to have gone pretty quiet at Salford compared to the conveyor belt of reports earlier last week, I wonder if the meeting reported to have taken place on Friday afternoon was a successful one for them.

Super league clubs owners meeting tomorrow to decide on whether they have secured outside monies and if not how they save the £700000.

Just a personal view. But I think Salford will release a few players but not the amount what's been reported. All we be revealed I guess this week
