I think it was Salford who were after him but Lancashire newspaper reports indicate the deal has stalled and he might have to stay at Warrington who don't now have any cap left! Thats where that rumour has come from but he's too slow for me and I doubt its true!

Do you [istill[/i think that both Hull and Warrington are lying about the Westerman transfer fee and if so why would they?

Agree completely there are some right drama queens around

They have been chasing him for a year according to some RL journo's. I reckon if we'd managed to get Frank in last year (we tried apparently) he'd have been sold then.

Agreed. I t also means we have rid of two of the three supposed bad eggs, and got cash. Watt's I think has probably matured out of it.
Really happy personally over the whole situation, think we have done better business than any time in the last 7 or so years. If we sign a decent outside back ,then all is good but don't want a signing for signing sake I would rather we kept the money until we needed it.

Lineham has asked to stay a few weeks back , but also asked for a pay rise , probably what he's getting at Warrington . Not sure what the outcome was , but I can imagine raiders reply .

All correct and so obvious it's untrue.
However where would we be without a daily dose of outrage and bluster. After all every chance to rip into the club must be taken at all costs.

| I have it on good authority that we are not in for Welham, and are close to signing Justin Carney and perhaps one other.

I heard same. But then it was questioned by some1 I know. He said it was to be discussed but Radders is on hol currently and players are all over the world.
He said as far as player himself concerned terms are agreed.

If you had bothered to read I was responding with regard to my supposed 'attack' on Hull fc.
Your attempt to highlight what i've said as attacks on forum members are utterly lame & pathetic

| Don't want Carney anywhere near the club.
It would be hypocritical of the club to talk of building the right culture and team spirit, then sign a bloke that's been shagging a team mates wife!

| Not impressed with the Carney signing rumours and even less so if the obvious one is true. Still hoping to add an H and an L to this, and get Charnley, wishful thinking?????

Who's hull fc players wife as he shagged as you put it! People make mistakes , don't think his professionalism when it comes to rugby league is in question ( could be wrong) I know most cas fans would have him back in a heartbeat. I think the player vote thing would be fair, like you you say, if it was to effect team spirit and hull went against the vote and signed him, that would be a mistake . But for you to say , you don't want him any where near the club , is a bit harsh.

| James Clark apparently said last night that there's more chance of him playing at centre than there is of us signing Welham so hopefully that means we can put that rumour to bed!

Why is it? The club talk of building a team spirit, how's Jordan Thompson and his mates within the group going to react to Carney turning up. Anyone that can do that is a wrong 'un and should be avoided.

Like I said, if the players don't want him, then I'd agree. Wrong un! To be be avoided! Get a grip, you don't even know the full details , or do you know? He's not murdered anyone, he's ducked up big time. But he will play rugby again, and I'd love to see him in the black and white next season! Anyways probably won't happen , so pointless discussion ha
