No, I'm taking my son to the park. God bless Hull FC for not only giving us our weekends back in the regular season by playing Friday nights, but giving us September back also.

Why sign a player and not know what to do with him? I hope the lad gets the coaching he needs and doesn't end up a fill in player like Whiting

Why does Agar do anything that he does? He verges on being Roger Random at times.

yet more bizarre comments from agar

he'll probably turn him into another 'hard working grafter' second rower

TBH we don't seem to know what to do with any players, not just the new recruits. Berrigan every position but prop, Radders LF, Hall at FB..let's hope Long and Fitz can assess the situation and give him some pointers.

Thought this was a Sam Moa thread ?

Off to Rovers according to 1 ex player and 1 current first teamer I was talking too.

tansey
calderwood
hall
yeman
briscoe
horne
long
omeley
berro
radford
tickle
fitz
washy

subs
hame, manu, cusack,whiting

No Houghton ? Strange bench !

radford will be a prop next year

im sure berro can manage a full 80 mins he manages getting tanked up well

The team selection stuff is kinda relevant to whether we really need him or not. Although granted the discussion has widened out a bit.


And yet similarly excellent sources say he's signing for us. Or hasn't decided yet. Or is off to Celtic.

TBH I've given up trying to second-guess what's going on.

Think Houghton, Manu, Lauaki and Moa would be a great bench. In my opinion a bench should have as much impact as possible.

Got to have Houghton in the 17. He's out of contract at the end of 2010 so if he isn't playing regulary then he may want out. Same with Hall. If Houghton goes then we've wasted four seasons developing him. Plus we haven't got any hookers coming through.

Me too maybe the two players I was talking too are as confused as us Kosh ?

Well said.

Wouldnt Moa take up one of them Kolpak spaces (or whatever they are !) being Tongan and not Quota space thereby still leaving us with one Quota spot even if he did sign ??? Its all so confusing !!!


Not that we would have much money to sign !!!

If we signed moa our overseas players quota would be full.

And i'd guess we've got a bit of room on the cap.

Are you sure, Im confused !!!


Everyone is saying the club have let Moa down. Maybe Moa has asked for silly money to re sign ???

Was he quota this season?

I dont think so and thats why I ask ??

yes

He wasnt or at least I dont think so. He is KOLPAK.

'In rugby league and rugby union, the Kolpak ruling has allowed teams to sign many players from Fiji, Tonga and Samoa, all of which are also ACP countries.'

Sam is Tongan.

Sorry you are right...tis this weather

We can have 6 overseas trained players for 2010, a maximum of 5 quota, it was 8 in 2009 and a maximum of 5 quota players.
