disappointed to see westerman go, but its too good a deal to turn down, could easily have been another briscoe scenario, he will be under more pressure at warrington to deliver as like fc fans, their fans demand success due to their cashed up owner

imo i think its a move sideways as warrington are similar to us atm in rebuilding


just hoping the announcement of a 'high quality' back isnt a major let down

Don't shoot the messenger but it's being reported by a couple of posters on the HKR board that you have made Kris Welham an offer to sign. It was earlier said he was considering a move to Salford so I presume considering locations Hull FC would be his preferred destination providing the offer is similar to theirs. Bradford apparently were also interested but staying in Super League was obviously his preference.

Welham, high profile player that's been on our radar for a while?? Sincerely hope not. Lose lineham (potential international) and Westerman (international player) to sign a turnstile. Oh dear.

If the high calibre back we are highlighting is true then it surely needs to be a non quota player and the only ones I can see who would be a available or that we have been linked with in the past are:

Charnley
Makinson
BJB
Sarginson

Unrealistic on all 4 I would say

Forgot about him, he has been on the radar for a couple of years now.

Great move by the Club imo .
Let's hope we can bring in a quality outside back .

BJB isn't as unlikely as you think. Salford have made an offer to Justin Carney, but before Cas release him they want an ideal replacement lined up. Salford offered them BJB, but sounds like they're chasing Daniel Vidot instead.

From an outsider looking in, the Westerman deal was a no brainer. Always seemed like one of those players who has failed to achieve his potential, unsure where the £150k valuation comes from but great news for Hull.

There'll be a 'go with what we've got' article in a couple of weeks.

IMO won't be welham. Rumour is he's of to Bradford or CAs. Shame about westy but also good bit of business by Pearson. Who's the back ?

I can see the Welham move coming off. Its been widely hinted at that finances are tight and with a lack of options then Welham fits the 'established SL' tag and will be cheap.

Bradford and Salford were strongly linked but 'another' SL club has come in for him. BJB will be on a pretty big salary at the reds so would Hull match that?

Good piece of business for a player that's predominantly underwhelmed at Hull.
Just no need for the cloak and dagger routine from Pearson. Honesty with the fans will go a long way.

There you go..

If you think Welham is "turning out well" you are more deluded than i thought.

Which I would have not problem with. Not point is signing a player for the sake of it if they are not good enough. I'd expect us to see a signing come in mid season. Inevitably a player somewhere will upset the apple cart at their club and seek a move else where.

I'd rather do with what we have than sign Welham.

For Welham, read Liam Colbon. A player we don't need and who isn't good enough. Stick with Logan and Lancaster! And use Thompson as a centre if need be. Just not Welham.

Sorry to see you go Joe you gave the club 5 years of good service, as for potential back to come I would like to see Ben Jones Bishop I've all ways rated him.

Sarginson going to union. Charnley would be great but with Burgess going I'd imagine Wigan will want to keep hold.

Wigan are supposedly after Carney from Cas so might need to let Charnley go to accommodate him?

Joe's always shown he's a natural rugby league player with a good set of hands and boot, a solid leader on the pitch at times too. Shame about his (rumoured) off field antics. Think he'll go well at wire or disappear from the game entirely.

Could we be in for Carney?

Good bit of business this to get 150k did work hard on the field but off the field was not the role model we were looking for. I would rather have the players we are signing now that lead on and off the field.

I don't see this as a step backwards but a step forwards at making the club players more professional.
