Hornes going to fb.

We've signed a new full back from across the river.horne is going to be back up fullback/half back

Are we getting rid of the quota then?

Louis Sheriff.

Big surprise that cas fans slating Arundel, fans always see the negatives when they announce they are leaving, I'm sure many thought Owen was better than Eden when he left, I know who I would rather have.

Look at the improvement turner and sharp has shown under our coaching staff, hopefully Arundel will improve as much as them.

I'd take him tbh.

than Arundel will be a gain.

Stand out performer?Did you actually watch him last year? apart from a televised interception try against Catalans he was mostly anonymous all season,just recovering from shoulder surgery at 20 too,Darryl Clark was the priority,not Arundel.

Strange isn't it here we are signing a player that most Cas fans don't rate and it seems are glad to see the back of and yet they're all on here telling us about it as if they need to re-itterate the fact that he is mediocre at best etc etc AND then when one Cas fan comes on and says how good he is they're back to shoot him down.I think all the signs point to this kid being good myself! You can do little better than signing good young Knights players on long contracts, youth from this country is undoubtably the future of our game!

Whatever any of them say is irrelevant Pete, i trust Gentle`s judgement rather than their`s, when we signed Aspinwall people questioned why, but he has proved to be a good signing and i am sure Arundel will as well, and given some good coaching from Gentle i believe he will develop into a top quality centre for both Hull FC and England in the years to come.

I trust Andy Hays judgement who will know him better than anybody else associated with us.

Never said worst did I. He's that good Saints are desperate to get shut and have replaced him with Jordan Turner.



Silly Kuntz

Well thats not hard is it?, as Arundel is still injuried, but i did say that Arundel had more potential and deffo better value for money.

Who has slated arundel ??? He's a decent player, not hard to replace but decent. If we get shenton on whatever wage he adds something more than arundel would. You get a project centre we get an improvent. Win win. What do you want us to say, he's better than inglis ???

cas must have some fantastic players waiting in the wings or coming up through the ranks if they don't see arundel as a loss, guess with them flying high in the league, they won't miss him!





they must be that desperate for shenton if they are willing to match what he is asking for!

Has huge potential. Will do really well with Gaz Ellis, And is moving for the right reasons.

Unlike some of our squad, Joe doesn't go out drinking. A few times a year, He doesn't try and be a playboy, He has a solid relationship, His head is screwed on, His feet are on the ground and he is determined to make the most of his career.

A good signing for you guys.

I think Cas miss Arundel like we miss Heremaia

Would be great to have him available? Obviously not what you meant though is it.

A bit harsh writing him off when you've never seen him play a competitive game.

Did we pay a fee for Arundel - thought he was OOC?

In the latest spat between Bradford directors today in the T&A there's this:
"Furthermore, the club has a firm six-figure offer in writing from Warrington Wolves’ owner Simon Moran for John Bateman.

While I would be the last person to want to cash-in a young home-grown talent as prodigious as John obviously is, the fact is the interests of the club should always come first.

Castleford Tigers’ lucrative deal with Hull FC over their young home-grown talent Joe Arundel announced last week is an example of money talking. There will always be clubs with money wanting players and clubs with players needing cash."

Pretty sure he's OOC, but won't it be one of those young player settlements, like we had to for Turner?

Did think that, but don't think it's a big "money talks" issue. Open to interpretation, I suppose. It's like civil war at Odsal, directors but fight, RFL involved too. Thinking of a ground share at Valley Parade.

If there ends up being a ground share, how stupid would it make the purchase of Odsal look?

We should definitely be ready to act if they start selling players though, Bateman, Kopczak, and Whitehead would all be good signings for us IMO (at the right price).

Wouldnt mind Burgess either

Really like the look of Koppy but he seems very brittle ATM.
