| gentle denied it in an interview aired on Sportstalk tonight, though he didnt sound too convincing to say the least.
good luck to him he goes with my blessing, i've enjoyed watching him play. the nrl is the best league in the world and if he didn't go he would always be left wondering 'what if?' also the nrl has much bigger media profile and he could well make himself into a bone fide sports star, something that doesn't happen in this country to RL players

Very true. Same goes for plenty of young players, Westy another example. Get hyped with a big reputation, then get knocked for not living up to it every week.

When will you learn, success can not be bought, Leeds tried it under Douglas Laughton and almost went bankrupt, Leeds have a dozen players who could move for more money, the reason they don't is because they are local lads that want to play together and win trophy's. Would you change job just for a wage rise if you we're happy with your lot enjoying your days work with you mates. The only way forward is to bring through and develop the youngsters the problem for most clubs is its a long term plan and some clubs have only a short term plan. Hull have some good young kids coming through like Green and line ham and Crooks for example but not enough. What you need is some stability with the spine of the team, 6,7,9,13 for example or to get players tied up on longer term contacts like Leeds do. Hull have spent too much money on over priced injury prone Aussies and Shaun Longs to try and fix their half back problems over the years and its back fired. Gareth Ellis could be another example of an injury prone player who's best days are behind him, dispute what he says Leeds would have offered him a lot lower short term contract and he goes to hull for the money and the longer term contract, like Adrian Morley did at Wire. The wire gamble paid off but will the Hull one ?

| would like to see briscoe stay but should Pearson offer mega money to make that happen? imo no wingers are easy to come by not like half backs as we have seen and we are going to need all the money we have to try temp some 1 to the kc next year. for me it should not be about money and i would like for some 1 to actually want to come to hull without the money issue but we live in the real world and people are greedy and want every cent possible.

So would I. One of the most exciting players in the SL, definitely in our team. He has pure quality and well over 100 SL games, all at the age of 22.

I agree, Wing is a 'luxury' position, the finishing touches to a team that already has strong halves, hooker, full back and pack.
Tom's a great player, but we can't throw stupid money in to keeping him when we still don't have a quality no7 after all these years.

I was thinking last night, and I can't recall having a real quality 7 at any point we've played at the KC, am I forgetting someone?

| It's a shame that another quality player is going to give the NRL a go.
We don't really have enough quality players in the SL but unfortunatly I saw this coming a mile away as it was obvious what would happen as soon as it became clear just how much cash the NRL clubs were going to have.

| You can`t blame the kid for grabbing his big chance in the NRL. He has been outstanding for us and he can only get better over there. He has been loyal to us over the years, he could have gone before but decided to wait a while. We obviously need to look at our salary cap if we are going to hang onto our talented youngsters in future.

The problem is, you can't put a value in £/$'s of the opportunity for someone early-mid 20's with no huge family comittments to move to Australia, to do exactly what they're doing now, but where the weather is better, the game is bigger etc. etc.
To sort the salary cap out we need to drop to 12 sustainable teams, we need a governing body that can secure meaningful and valuable sponsorship, and we need Sky to give us something better than Eddie and Stevo commentating, we also need better officials and better run clubs.
