I think with Whiting, Washbrook and Berrigan been able to cover in the backs we should be okay. Could do with a young half as back up from the National Leagues.

Quote ="super_fc"I would be really dissapointed if Tickle left. I know he's no superstar but imo he's one of the best forwards at the club and an excellent goal kicker too. He's one of the few players that runs good lines, his defence is solid and he bags a few trys from time to time. Do we need to re-shuffle our pack? Yes. However getting rid of our best forwards is not the way to go about things. King looks past his best for me, he tries hard and he's got a lot of aggression (something our players lack) but he's not half the player he used to be. Radford is a very average player, makes very few metres and never offloads. He doesnt lead the team like a captain should and again his best years are behind him - get rid. Manu - beast (enough said), Thackray - offers us some impact off the bench and makes good metres however he needs to be more consistant - still has to prove his worth. Dowes - not good enough imo, yes he works hard but our wingers make more metres than him and again he never offloads or break tackles - get rid (although we won't). So to summarise... Keep: Tickle, Manu, Burnett (obviously), Cusack (already signed) Get rid: King, Radford, Dowes Coming in: Fitzgibbon, Lauaki Sign: 2 big rough props As for Sam Moa - Havent seen enough off him, if he can shapen up and condition himself properly - Keep.'" 2nd highest amount of missed tackles in the league: www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... 9&hp2=1795

Don't confuse people with facts.

Makes no difference. It's from when the player was at ANY British club, and we signed him from Cas.

100% AGREE !!! TOTALLY SPOT !!

This is exactly what I would like to see for next season but unfortunately I don't think that Agar has the foresight or inclination to do it.

I just re read the e-mail, your right.

So that makes Manu a overseas player next season regardless but he can apply to become a federation trained player next season but it wont come into effect until Nov 2010.

But that also means Motu can apply to become a fed trained player for next season as long as he applies before the end of his current contract.

I don't know whether they do enough but you can guarantee that tickle is and was out every weekend with thacks & lee, not his mrs. Maybe he should have done more to help her settle?

Would not be too upset with Tickle going, he has done well and I would rather have him than Radford but not a major loss imo.

If Turner is our centre signing I would be a little underwhelmed tbh. I hope the aussie is a prop but if not and it's a british prop then I hope the aussie is a fullback or a SO.

got told that this guy Malcolm Walker (owner of MKM Building ) could be buying Hull fc to become main share holder??


any body else here anything like this??

I have heard that rumour for the best part of 3/4 years now.

Apparently he is bringing Briers in

I got told by a friend who got talking to two hull fc player while playing golf last week?
Also heard he'd be bringing cooke back!!!

Don't start that one again!

Totally agree, I would be very disappointed if Tickle went as he is the only player we have who runs angles etc. He runs and drives hard every time and has a good off load if we ever get set up to use that and he is aggressive in the tackle (something we are sadly missing most of the time).
As for the missed tackles, I'm not suprised he misses some due to the fact he always gives 100% on the field and is alway on for the full 80! Some players have the luxury of getting spelled and still miss tackles!

IMHO I think if we lose Tickle it will be a loss.

I have heard the cook erumours for a few weeks now, but got told yesterday that it is pretty much nailed on - with kath and rule saying he would never come back, it makes me wonder whether there is more to this takeover than there seems, and he is wanted by a new man?

The two things that Hull FC NEVER EVER NEED are Walker anywhere near running the joint and Cooke back on the payroll.

I don't believe it for a second.

Even if there was a takeover, which seems unlikely in itself, why would a new owner risk upsetting the fan base by bringing back the most unpopular man in the club's recent history?

I cant see this one happening but who would have believed he was leaving in the first place

Anything is a possibility with our board but Cooke will be sorely mistaken if he thinks he can stroll back in and everything will be like it used to be

It would soon be forgotten if we started winning again... imho

Apart from anything else, he's been total poo since he went to Rovers. It makes no sense. Probably one of those manufactured rumours designed to make our otherwise dull season slightly more interesting.

Very true!

I don't think the Rovers board or coach appear to be particularly enamoured with Cooke but the move has been perfect for Rovers - it completely unsettled FC, allowing Rovers to become dominant in the city whether we like it or not. We still haven't recovered - it was a shrewd move.
