Apologies if this is old news but just been told at the reserves match that James Webster has sure enough been approached by our club and expect him to be back in our colours shortly.

Again sorry if its old news.

If we're keeping Thorman, why would we sign Webster? Or [ivice versa[/i, for that matter.

Very odd.

Why did we get rid of Webster in the first place ?

Hull FC make very odd decisions dont you know !!!

It's easy to blame Sharpe but

We have been playing this type of rugby for the past few years.

Oh aye.

This would be one of the odder ones, though.

Yes indeed. Ridiculous decision. If Jon Sharp wasn't involved at the club Webbo would probably be playing for us now. Not a long term solution but neither is Mr T.

I read the rumour on here earlier in the day so when i saw him at the reserves game i thaught i would ask him about it and he just smiled and started laughing, so i dont know if its true or not

Well he's hardly going to say he has signed is he if its not been confirmed yet

Probably just treading Gingerly.

surely a team like fc could muster a better signing than webster?? id wait till th end of the season and sign a top draw player..

After the Thorman signing I'd imagine Webster will be our big half back signing for next year. ' We offered Jonathon Thurston a massive £30,000 a year but the greedy Bas***d wanted £60,000 - obviously we turned this down and are deligheted to have signed James' - James Rule was quoted as saying

I think with Thorman and Webbo for next season Agar will be happy that area is now covered and start looking for replacements in other positions which as we all know is great news !!!

thats pure greed


i heard his wife wanted £120,000 just to sell programmes
mind you he his 1 of the top points scorers in the nrl hat trick and 4 goals yesterday ..

OMFG this has to be bull chit!!!

next season's side is shaping up to be

1) R Horne
2) Calderwood
3) G Horne/Whiting/Hall
4) Yeaman
5) Raynor/Briscoe
6) Thorman
7) Webster


Dowes
9) Lee
10) King
11) Tickle
12) Manu
13) Radford

14) Washbrook
15) Thackray
16) Moa/Maloney
17) Houghton

I'm sure our top drawer coaching duo of agar and sharp will be able to coach them to the dizzy heights of about 13th in the table - unless the celts get their act together by then

No that's this seasons side and adding James Webster (which is yet to be confirmed as more than a messageboard rumour), mind you if you want to believe these rumours we'd have a world beating side, or do you only want to believe the ones which fit in with your moaning and whinging?

Which other rumours are there for next year?

Cooper Cronk.



Luauki will be here by then

That really is some side !!!! RA and JS couldn't fail to take that side to the dizzy heights of top 12 !!

Don't forget though, the priority at our club is to sell passes and shirts to all the masses of zombie-like supporters who will give up their hard earned cash whatever $hite they're watching. To give that priority a little help, they will make one big marquee signing so there's someone to put on the back of their thousands of replica shirts.

Roll up roll up... Come and watch the worst rugby in SL at the highest prices !!!

It won't be that side....

Get a grip FFS!

No it won't, but it will be very similar to that one in terms of quality.

Just wait until the contract extensions start being handed out this season, Cusack, Lee, Horne etc.. they'll all still be here. Captain fantastic got one without even putting on his boots this season !!

So how about you get a grip FFS !!

Has been our most consistent player this year, so why shouldn't he get an offer?

It won't be that side. It may not even be close to it given the number of players OOC at the end of this season. Why borrow trouble?


Do you think you could manage to get your point across without insulting ordinary fellow fans who happen to want to watch their team regardless of how well they're playing? It's hardly a crime and they're just exercising their right to support their side come thick or thin.


Having watched all the games over the MM weekend and yesterday's CC game, we're not as far below some of the other sides in the competition as folk make out.

And no, I don't think that we're playing well enough. But hyperbole hardly helps to promote sensible discussion.
