It's either Leeds or rovers and its not rovers?

So it's Leeds then....

Why would that upset anyone?

Hull fans don't like Leeds very much.

They're probably saving him from abuse like Shaun Briscoe got when it was announced he was off to Rovers before the season was over.

Yeah can understand that, but it's so blatently obvious that hes off to Leeds that I'm sure all the fans have accepted that now to not be bothered.

If he's signed for Leeds then it's up to Leeds to announce it when they're ready, not Hull or Briscoe.

We all know that he's going - and Pearson's said it on video - but it's Leeds' (or whichever club he's signed for) decision on when the announcement is.

Some on this board were unhappy that Hudgell had announced the Paea to Hull transfer, calling it unprofessional, and so they should stand by that opinion that it's up to the "buying" club to announce the transfer when they're ready.

Well Tom, you will be missed, but not as much as people would have believed. Form has been patchy to say the least and disinterested most of the time. Perhaps a move will reignite your career, and it needs to if you want to be part of the World Cup team. Good luck, wherever you go.

Does it matter where he is going? As a Hull fan the only information I need is that he isn't going to be a Hull player next season the rest is immaterial.

We have all known for months that he's leaving and I'm not bothered where he goes.

I do think its sad that his career at FC is ending this way. A year or two ago he was one of the hottest properties in rugby league but his form this year has been very patchy, possibly due to the uncertainty over his future.

I don't know whether its due to poor advice or poor decision-making but he now seems to have been forced into a move to another SL club, having turned down a lucrative offer from Hull and a move to the NRL having fallen through.

Wherever he ends up, be it Leeds, Wigan, Salford or Rovers good luck to him.

That's from May. A lot can can change in that amount of time.

Is that the same Shaun briscoe who led hull out in his final game so the fans could pay him the respect he was due?.
Can't remember any abuse at all when he announced he was leaving.

Me neither and believe he still didnt get booed by Hull FC fans when he was playing for Rovers the next season.

Or me. And I believe he's one of the players that was applauded on his first appearance back at the KC for his new team.

On sportstalk tonight

Bizarrely, the only time I've heard someone give him abuse for going to Rovers was when he was at the KC playing for Widnes

Leeds 5 year deal and on £30, 000 less then hull offered him

Oh well, it's only 150 grand

And 5 years? is he mad?

If that's true then he really needs to sack his agent unless winning something means more to him than 30K a year? However if winning was so important then his performances this season wouldn't have been so abject. I still think he may well end up in union next season.

Don't get me wrong I think Briscoe can be devastating at times, but the last season or so he hasn't been the same and certainly not moved forward in terms of progress in his game, which we would have expected from the way he looked when he made the 17 for the first time.

Still not 100% sure about Leeds although they are massive favourites and even some of the players think he's going there I think the length of the deal is possibly right but the wage difference is spot on. He has done a Shaun Briscoe because the minute he was turned down in Aus and Adam Pearson withdrew our offer on 1st May the two British Clubs interested are reported to have immediately reduced their offers too.

That's not true

I am gutted were losing Tom . He might not be at his best at the minute but I would take him over all but 3/4 wingers in super league and as shown by his try against bull that he can still be devestating . Hes gonna be a massive loss to us and a huge gain for Leeds or whoever he joins .

I remember being stood behind the sticks at Headingley, & every kick off (when he was standing underneath the posts) he was getting allsorts. Suppose just because you didn't hear any yourself, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Not by a majority of fans by any means, but I can see why some players would prefer to avoid stuff like that if possible.

Hull offered him 120k

Agree with that. He's a quality player.

He excels at some parts of the game but is poor in others, a move to Cronulla would have the making of him.

Thank god his agent is here to clear things up
