Now, now, Chris. You clearly haven't been doing your Modalee duty and checked out the Hunks thread recently!

Stevo signed on with sky for another 5 years according to League Weekly

Richard Whiting's knackered.

@Stilts84
Rich Whiting
Leg session + horrendous bike session = not being able to walk in the morning #lovepreseason even the cryospa ice bath can't help me 2day!!

Cue the complaints we're flogging them too hard in training. 3,2,1....

Nobody ever won anything in Novemeber

Praise the lord for mute buttons!

I blame Agar!

I know who I would rather have, that's for sure.

Nick Youngquest? Sorry 'Hunks' thread, but no ta. Team Sharp all the way!

How selfish. FC will have precious few chances to sign an actual male model, registered with an L.A. agency, in our lifetime. Indulge the female section of our fanbase please.

Surely this face will do??

Room for both, I think you'll find.

A while ago for me but here goes.

Australians Duncan Jackson, George Watt and Bruce Ryan. A little later Roy Francis.

Probably just shades Hutchie's attempt at the Charles Bronson look

Martin Aspinwall - Loose Forward on Hull FC squad? Probably a load of tosh, but weird.

Hope not but maybe Gentle see's Manu coming on off the bench after 20 mins starting Aspinwall and spelling either Tickle or Westerman. If he does this he would probably be better starting Whiting at loose.

Doubt it will happen but just an idea

Youngquest doesn't have to actually PLAY, he just has to let us watch him pedalling the bike.

I'm a Sharp fan, too.

McKinnon adds more pace and all round natural flair over Phelps who is very versatile and durable.

Martin adds more game time over Gleeson who (was) one of [ithe[/i most natural centres to play in Super league

Seymour adds (See above) over Long who (was) a fantastic player

Ellis adds more experience in a vital position over Williams who never played 1st grade

Lynch adds a greater ability as a natural prop over Fitzgibbon who played a props game last season.

Heremaia adds back up in the hooking role over Washbrook who was a victim of his utility tag.

O'carroll adds youth and longevity over Dowes who for me was treading water.

Burnett adds greater mobility and longevity over Radford who was finished as a player

Aspinwall adds involvement and common sense over Lauaki who under achieved in almost everything that was expected of him

its hard to argue with any of that , but ill try lol, what worries me is the 2 signings that the new set up have signed well 3 now with burnett everyone as complained about on the whole ,Agar signed the rest including Lynch that deal was done well before rich left they just saw it through

lets hope whoever they have signed for january is a bit more inspiring because the three they have signed and theres only burnett i can see any logic to really have been below avarage additions simple ,we would have been better keeping the cap space and waiting for a real quality player to come available or give some of the kids a chance

toatally agree mike burnett i would of signed up for another year been a hull lad been brought through our academy, ability to play down the middle and on the edge he gives up some depth and options and would comes very cheap aswell but surely it would of been better to keep aspinwall and martin cap space available to try and get a good english player that will be here for years to come bit like the westy signing someone like larne patrick liam watts that type of player

Yep...we don't even have to bother with a kit, I am sure he could wear Obst shorts just to peddle in!

Paul Gallen wants Tom Briscoe at Cronulla Sharks.

Them who want never get

Why would Briscoe want to go to the Sharks?

I'm not saying he would, I'm not saying Cronulla have even got the cap space/money to sign him, I'm not saying theyve have offered him a deal or even approached Hull.

But Gallen rates him, he doesn't think the Cronulla backs help out the forwards enough and believes Briscoes freak power would be a real asset.

Excellent recognition for Tom from a great player. I imagine Gsllen has a lot of influence within the club so will be interesting to see if this materialises beyond here.

I'm sure Tom will be with us for the next few seasons at least, but the lure of Sydney, the weather and playing in the NRL with it's expanding salary cap will surely turn Tom's head, or any player with ambition.
