Get back to work monkey shoes, you slacker. Oh and by the way - is that a picture of a young Mr Agar you have as your avatar? He looks a bit like Frank Gambale to me.

Only way I would keep Long is as a coach. We already have Horne, Seymour, Obst, Nicklas and Ellis for the halves plus Williams and Heremaia if really needed.

I can't see Ellis accepting that he will be 25 before he gets a regular shot.

spot on we really need to sign at leaste 1 forward for next year if both lauaki and fitz go, long cant prove his fitness because hes always injured. i would love longy stay as a coach but cant see it when he could most probs get the same kind of job back at saints or a team nearer to home. as for pay as you play im not sure at all how that works on the slary cap ?

When would you play long on a PAYP deal? When seymour, ellis and obst were injured? Waste of time

ellis should be back up half to both 7 and 6 so if 1 of horne or seymour get injured, loss of form or suspended then he comes straight in obst should be 4th choice half and 3rd choice hooker

All this talk of having Horne next year, when exactly did he sign a new deal for next year?

he hasnt

I think Tickle is well respected and appreciated by the fans for his efforts and rightly so. Whether he is a 50 tackle a match man is another issue Fitz' defensive work has been taken for granted at times this season.

Very pleased with all of our signings to date Seymour is just what the doc ordered. One more forward would be about right.

Yet...

thought the club might have announced his signing by now.

Let's save it till our next defeat.

Maybe they don't want to officially announce they've used our last quota spot whilst we still have quota players who we haven't told are surplus to requirements

What I find worrying about the signing of seymour is the fact he has been sacked twice, by brisbane and cronulla for drink related problems,then the new zealand warriors give him a chance and all credit to him he is now teetotal turns his life round yet they don't offer him a new contract. WHY.?

because desperate , cashed up superleague clubs will throw good money at ANY antipodean availble... leaving them to bring there youth through...

Shaun Johnson.

Yep they have a new superstar coming through.

But wouldn't you still offer seymour a contract as cover.

He might not want to be cover.

Who is to say he wasn't offered another deal but turned it down. Why did Meley come to the Uk, or Fitz or Swain or Smith or many others who have joined other teams over the years and been a success. Money is usually the main reason, but some players want to experience playing in the SL and the Challenge Cup.

I think it says alot about Seymour and the fact they've brought him straight back in the side after injury.

Indeed, He is young and raw Johnson and whilst the talent is evident Seymour probably is a better team player and has more experience of controlling games.

Do you have these concerns regarding every overseas player that comes to super league?

You really are a little ray of sunshine, aren't you.

Seymour also said in his interview that it would give him chance to see the world! Mainland Europe is a lot closer to Hull than it is NZ.
