I've heard James and Kath are more interested in Karl Michaels relative..............


wear tightec hunts!!!!

now 180k and by all accounts 160k is on the table, personally I think if tony, cusack and byrne go I would reckon that would free up somewhere close to 300k. I would try and spend that on hunt and a top notch 7 like orford, think big Sam will be more than adequate next season. Two quality larkers compared to 3 average at best will be very benificial to hull. If crocker comes in at 13, we would have real world class players at 1,7, 9 and 13, Horne at 6. 2 England wingers, yeamo and briscoe in centres. And a pack of perm 6 from these of berrigan luaki crocker ticks radford Manu Moa king thackeray and dowes. Lee washy houghton whiting g Horne hall Burnett reardon maloney fighting for a contract/chance, not lookin too bad if we pull it off. Just need a coach who is intelligent enough to play to each players strength not someone who plays to try not to lose than to try and win.

Are you the enigma???

Not too shabby.

Would the club confirm anything before visa's are issued from now on? and how long before a contract commences can you apply for one? something that needs to be clarified to stop future overseas signings being left in limbo and potentially missing pre season or worse nearly half a season which is happening now.

Come on though, seriously you lot are famous for banding names about who your gonna sign cause you have all this money and everyone wants to play for you!!!!! just how many have actually come off lately?? berrigan(top signing) and er Crocker???

We're no more and no less 'famous' for it than any other club. In fact we're considerably less famous for it than your lot.

The one consistent pattern is that eventual signings are very rarely rumoured on here.

crocker is a world class 2nd rower not loose man
orford is 30 coming up to 31, which is to old
tony, cusack and byrne would free up a maximum of 250k i would say
washbrook and hall already have contracts next season

I think you'll find it's 300k bang on, the talk was about next season thus certain players fighting for a deal/chance. Orford is the real deal, just what hull need and I for one think he would make at least 10 points differance to our seasons tally.

gotta love these 'mystic meg' threads



anyone can say 'he's got his visa' 'he hasnt got his visa' its a 50/50 chance your going to be right!

i don't think i've ever seen 'the brother' start a rumour thread that came true either!

Would this be the same Orford who is about to sign a new 2 year contract with Manly?

last thing we need is another aussie at the back end of his career
and how do you know 300k is bang on and if it is right, then hull might aswell chuck there money away

or is it the same orford who manly are trying to sign on the cheap for around 50k a season less than we could offer.

guess you ain't seen this guy play lately have you, he is no Adam dykes, he would wipe the floor with people like dobson, a genuine world class number 7 STILL at the top of his game

arent manly struggling in the league

Thought this post was gonna say - Still not coming....... decent coach, decent half backs, decent centre. If I was Lauaki and saw the recent results I wouldn't come. I'd be out beating up a pensioner!!!!

yup good spot so is that orfords fault or the 7 state of origin players injured, that manly team who destroyed our best team in first gear and that manly team who the bookies still think will win the grand final

could be a new Grand Theft Auto mission that, cause so much mayhem that you don't get a Visa and avoid playing 1 man rugby at Hull FC

I'm fairly sure it's the same Orford whose agent was recently in the press saying the deal was all but signed.

weve got 4 internationals not playing and were doing fine

State of Origin > Internationals

Crocker, Lauaki, Raynor, Tony < Lee, King, Hall, G. Horne

Source??

Theres a difference in all but signed and ' Argh don't sign for that poorly coached crap'!!!!!

I'll take that as a WHOOOOSH.
