that manu not signing or arundel signing??

Maybe Cas gave Hull permission to speak to Arundel.

Find me any article were FC have announced it, which is what this is about.

Doubt it, which is why nothing can be signed or announced, much the same as Manu, doubt we'd give Saints permission.

And yet a number of posters still say it WILL be announced next week.
Last time I looked, next week is not sept.

He will announce hes turned the contract down

When it happens then finally a line can be drawn through all this.
Thanks manu but no thanks and move on.

I will be glad when some statement is made.Whatever happens I wish Manu all the best if he moves on.Its a job to him, and he did his best whilst here.

If I were AP, id be very interested as to the identification of all these people within the company he owns that seem to let information seep out

party pooper!

I wouldn't be surprised if some rumours were actually orchestrated by clubs/boards, all this has certainly kept us lot interested

As I posted on Thursday Manu turned his new offer down. Would expect Hull to announce it anytime soon. Think we are close to signing a top player so maybe club want to release a good news story at the same time as Manu story?

Hope its a prop or stand-off.

Or a centre if Turner is definitely going at the end of the season.

A proper stand off you say, who do you have in mind?

From the NRL, I'd say, to get anyone of any note,would be nearly impossible.
unless Gentle can find a hidden gem.

In the ESL, two players i rate ,who are OOC are Finch and Sa(Catalans).

The ideal player, would be Chase, AP would have to pay a massive fee, personally, I think he's worth it.

Manu may end up at Catalan

can't see Gentle wanting his sort at the club, spits his dummy out too much and gives away penalties, and breaks jaws

God i hope not....vastly over-rated,cheap shot merchant and petulant little $hit as well.

Finch although an outstanding player I would like to sign a top 6 who isn't closing in on the end of his career. Who that will be though I have no idea.
Signing top players from the NRL is going to be even more difficult now seeing as their cap is due to shoot up.

I think we will go with something like this next season

McKinnon
Sharp
Arundel (would try and sign better or put Turner here if he stays)
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne (would try and sign a quality 6?)
Seymour
Lynch
Houghton
Moa (or a new signing if he leaves)
Tickle
Ellis
Westerman

O'Carroll
Heremia
Whiting
New prop

Finch would be an outstanding signing for you, were all praying that hes going to sign on for another 2 years with us. Massive loss to us if we lose Finch especially to a SL rival.

If a signing is to be announced wont be a super league player due to the september 1st rule

Unless we have been given permission.

Yeah true

He's gone. Totally shamefaced at the end and wouldn't come over to the East Stand to those applauding him. Ah well.
