Agreed!!

same here its dragged on and on for too long now

Think it's starting to affect results.


I agree with you let's have it sorted now one way or t'other.

They're all playing for places in case he does get in

Agreed - then we can all get back to discussing why we got rid of Briscoe and kept Tony...

"Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week..."

We didnt get rid of him his agent and Briscoe want more money ..Briscoe didnt want Hulls offer plus the fact his Agent is a RED and White

Hold on! We're not getting in to that just yet

100% factually correct - he could have stayed but wouldn't take pay cut

I Don't really see why this thread is on here, lets face it the Daily Wail prints a story that tells us everything we already know....that we, them, the club and everyone else knows nothing!!!!

At Bradford everyone you spoke to knew he was either coming or not coming and it transpires that everyone knew nowt!!!



If I was to put money on it I would say that he is not coming!


However if there is one grain of hope it has to be the lenght of time the process is taking. They have not turned him down outright and are taking a long time to consider things. perhaps the British Consulate has asked for clarification of, or more evidence. Perhaps even the dozens of letters that they have received in support of the application from local businesses involved with the club are being considered, Who Know? (No one on here thats who!)



We will just have to wait but doo't hold your breathe, still we are 5 from 5 and going well, imagine how badly we would want this signing if we were bottom of the League!!

Do we even know that they spoke to Crocker as claimed? 12000 miles over a phone line - they could have been speaking to any old Aussie

Starting to think it may have been Rolf Harris at the other end.

Smailes: "So do you have any news Mick?"
Reply: "Hum Ningy Nang Ningy Hum"

Oh no!

If its a "No" I would presume that would be a quickly done thing and we'd be looking for a replacement by now.

However, I honestly (this is my "glass is half full" moment) think the delay reflects the consulates issues in admitting they were wrong, before giving the official all clear and a subsequent approval.

See what happens when we leave another thread to run, same old rumours and still no news.

Either way I want it over now, hopefully he comes and he is a revelation or he does not come and we move on.

Although what if we comes and we go on a 5 games losing streak

Could explain Manu's performance if he's heard something!

"Glass is half empty"

On the official web on Berrigans injury it states:

"Add in coming New Zealand prop Hame Lauaki to the pot and hopefully Australian Test star Michael Crocker and Agar is heading for some tremendous competition for places"

As the club were previously playing down any hope for Crocker, I'm now a tad more optimistic of a positive anouncement soon

Nah cannot be right it was posted earlier that the board had said at Bradford they where not optimistic



I just want it all to end..this is worse than waiting to go in labour

Actually, the most notable thing I take from that is how confident it would appear they are about Lauaki, and the fact they see him as a prop.

He is a prop - thats where he played the trial games for the Warriors

He's played back row most of his career though but does seem suited to propping in SL!!

Can play in either row though.

Either way, my point is that many pointed at him as being a replacement for Crocker. The club seeing him as a prop is further suggestion that this is not the case.

Just as believable (or not) as any other rumour on here TBH.

I would much rather see him at prop tbh.
