Smoke and mirrors

Is that from the same source who told you Jamie Shaul to Rovers on a three year deal?

One an oaf, always an oaf!! If he told me Saturday followed Friday I still wouldn't believe him.

Never seen such pathetic group trolling, some posters need to wind their necks in.

Not really sure why your all out with your pitch forks surely you must realize Pearson is the king of spin most hull fans i know realize this and probably would have more respect if he came out and said that the money from the sale westerman and lineham will be used in different ways and won't all be invested back into the 1st team instead of spinning the truth.

For the record i think you have a good squad and it doesn't need investment apart from maybe a bit of depth at hooker

C.O.Y.U that's a decent memory on you remembering a Jamie shaul post or would you be sad enough to go through my posts to find ammo?

Wasn't paying out. Loan. Wakey.
Deal fell through due to mostly 1 player. His well known agent said so last night

Typical response from someone made to look stupid.

Rovers signing Jacob Miller.
Scott Taylor signing an extension with Wigan.
Some real belters.

To be honest some one who is usually on the money with stuff mentioned the JS thing but that was a fair few weeks ago so you must of done some trolling looking for something to try shoot me down with

well done

All of above have nothing to do with why i originally posted so in order to derail my post you have to troll through my posting history?

1) You originally posted that the possibility of Michaels going on loan somewhere was a contrived lie.
2) Your posting history highlights your previous inaccuracies, so is relevant context to your somewhat provocative statement.
3) It's "trawl".

Back on topic. We could really do with another three quarter. Whether Fonua plays wing or centre, we're still a quality three quarter short IMO.

I'm off to pub

enjoy your evening

Sat hi to Jamie and Jacob for me.

People talk about team morale, not up setting players! How do you think michaels feels! Steve enjoy your holidays, by the way we've agreed terms with, carney , and wakefield for you to go they. But we just have to run it past Thompson, see if he's ok with it, we'll let you know who your playing for next season ASAP!!! It's laughable . Carney accepted a better offer from Salford, simple , alll this horse tttte of it been a done deal is rubbish. And that's not me having a go at Pearson or the club. Don't believe anyone from the club as said it was a done deal

Say hi to Neil.

My posting history on certain subjects where things i was told and if you throw enought sh@t at some point it will stick I guess, on this occasion though this is nothing I've been told looking at the facts pearson only 3 weeks ago said westerman wasn't going to be sold the guy is the king of spin, and as tinkerman has said above how does Michaels feel about all this last season he signed a new deal and now the club might send him out on loan to anyone that will have him just in case they might be able to sign someone else but if not he can stick around?

As for the topic i don't really rate Pryce as a half back (apart from 1 side step he gave campo at Newcastle) he drifts in and out of games far to much i think he will provide cover in the centres, think you need a backup hooker for Houghton and will have 1 of the best squads you have had for years

Club owners say all sorts of things. Hudgell's said he's not going round again a couple of times, gets a bit of cash in and just does the opposite. "Soon all the good Hull lads will want to sign for Rovers" he boasted. 10 years on, where are they? Some spin, that. As for how Michaels feels, please remember that 32 players have left your own club before the end of their contract since promotion, many in similar circumstances of being moved on. See James Webster and his undignified rejection after an immense contribution to Rovers. I suspect you need to worry less about Michaels in this context. Club stood by him last season during the Titans drugs investigation, maybe he feels some gratitude.


If Pryce stays fit, he's OK. I doubt Radford sees him as back-up centre.

There isn't any loyalty from clubs or players really they both do what's good for themselves if somebody better than michaels came up the club will probably sign them and try to offload him likewise if michaels got an offer from the NRL he would be off that's life

Well said,spot on

Yeh, I don't think anyone with half a rugby brain would disagree with that. Just some forum members, ( who are apperantly in the know) would have people believe , that we'd gone to the trouble of agreeing terms with carney and wakefield for michaels! Then to ask Thompson if it was ok. It's just bollllocks! Gutted we ain't signing him myself , think he's exactly the type of player we needed

Are you saying Jamie Shaul lied? Why would he do that? I saw him and asked him about Carney. He offered up the stuff about "Thommo" as he called him. He also said (which I found a bit odd so didn't mention it in my post on here) that he would feel uncomfortable getting changed in front of Carney. Are you suggesting I'm lying or are you suggesting the whole club have been sat down and given a spiel on what to say if anybody asks? Why can't you just accept it, I had no reason not to believe Jamie in what he was saying. I can even tell you what dogs he was walking if you don't believe I spoke to him

I don't think anyone would disbelieve you (or Shaul for that matter) but the unbelievable part is that the Club would get everything set up with the players , agents and boards and then decide to ask the players. Maybe we just expressed an interest , heard rumblings of discontent and spun the story to get kudos for trying and for taking the players feelings into account? If they really did do all the work and then realize that "Thommo" may not be happy then that makes you worry about AP's judgement - again.

Thank you

Maybe there was dialogue of increasing seriousness over a period of time as potential options were explored with Carney and Michaels, in parallel to discussions with our players who as a group weren't keen, and ultimately a bigger offer came in from Koukash.
