| The potential upside of signing prince is massive but, likewise, the potential downside (at his age, moving to a new country etc.) is also massive. Still think the better long term signing for the club is an up and coming player with his best days ahead of him, and a huge wedge of cash still left to play with. Signing prince is pretty much putting all of our eggs in one basket

The worry is how much he'll have left in the tank at 33, 34 and 35. Personally, I hope we sign miller

I watch NRL and I think he takes it to the line. Doesn't show and go as much as he did and he has lost a bit of pace but I think if he is a better option than Seymour. His short kicking game is one of the best around. Long kicking aint great but Holdsworth is good in that department so a fair balance. Agree a 3 year deal (if rumour has it) is too long and a younger option would be ideal but with the NRL salary cap increasing its going to be a lot harder to get class Aussie players. The future looks good for us. Young English players with a wealth of Australian experienced players. Things are looking bright. Come on you Hull!!!

Smokescreen for what pal ?

| I've absolutely no doubt he'd be able to get us round the park over here mate.
Appreciate he's not what he was, but this is SL, he'd have the time and space he doesn't get over there. I hope we get chance to see.
I'm no expert though pal. I thought Seymour would do a job for us from what I'd seen of him, and look where that got us.
Don't reckon we'd be left with much change out of 7 figures sterling if he signs for three years mind.

None of us can account for another McKinnongate.
If he puts pen to paper lets hope he's done a bit of homework first and is professional in his attitude.
That's all we can ask.

I think it's my belief in Seymour before he came that's making me as cautious as I am, this really could go wrong.
If it happens, of course.

| I think Prince will be a good signing if its 2 years with an option for a 3rd. If its 3 years its a massive risk.

Could be a risk, but let's not forget that he would come to partner Holdsworth, who is far younger and playing good rugby.

I think all the Titan players have been told they will have to sign a new contract with the club, because they now have new owners.

Quote Believe he got the ball rolling with his agent about the move to SL, with Shaun Wane getting a look in first as his daughter works at the Titans. Wane decided Prince is too old which is shame.
He may be getting on but there are no half backs available with his quality, he'd still control games in the way Sinfield does. He would be the stand out player in SL.'"

| Dont get how people can compare possible signing of prince as similiar to that of mckinnon / seymour.
The previous owners signed these players through agents. They didnt know the players personally apart from what they had seen on tv. Gentle knows and has worked with both Prince and Miller. He will know what motivates them.
Either player will be darn sight better than what we have had to put up with in the past.

I think either it's happening or it's a smokescreen for even something bigger. If we do sign him we will have the two biggest signings in SL for 2013 by some distance.
