The other 13 seem pretty adept at it

You've spelt Netherton wrong

Can't be d to scroll through all the pages...

Duffy anyone?



Apologies if it's already been mentioned

Think he's unavailable now Boyzone have reformed

You've got me begging for mercy.

Saints sign Soliola for next year so another top name missed by Hull

What's a Rovers troll worried about Saints for?

I hope he's putting his application for a visa in today...

Nay lad

Oh dear how sad never mind

Top players don't go to Hull FACT

Will he be replacing Gidley or do you have quota space? Guess these Saints youngsters are not that good then

So yet again, after being told countless times by Agar, Rule etc... that quality players are difficult to sign, Saints can pick up an international centre seemingly effortlessly who would be ideal for our squad in a position in which we are pretty dire.

Well done again Hull !!!! Maybe we can re-sign Todd Byrne as our centre for next season ??

I would wait and see who we actually sign before you start slagging the board off,

beat me to it

Civoneceva ?? Mason ??? Lyon ?? Peacock ?? Kimmorley ?? Orford ??

We will probably make one marquee signing in order to maintain the pass and shirt sales for JR and KH and everything else will be done as cheap as possible. Expect new contracts for Cusack, Thorman, G Horne, T Lee anytime soon, to add to the retention of our own captain fantastic !!!

If we sign a better centre than Sia Soliola i will be astounded as he is probably in the top dozen centres in the world.

Even though he is currently playing 2nd row for Sydney, by the way i wasn`t intimating that he isn`t a good player, only the some people look for any reason to blame our board for everything.

I take it that I'm "some people" ???? Well if you mean blaming our board for appointing clown after clown as our coach, because they're cheap, sanctioning our recent retention and recruitment while watching us slide further and further backwards and prioritising 99% on what happens off the field rather than on it.

Then YES I try to blame EVERYTHING on our board, just for the sake of it

Berrigan, Crocker, Cusack, Luauki and Calderwood were all good signings.

why weren't we aware or at least in with a shot at someone like this?

I'm sorry but Cusack was not a good signing. Infact he was a very poor one. He is exactly the sort of forward that we didn't need. Good at what he does but the exact opposite of what we needed in our pack.

The others are all good signings but we make far more poor retention and recruitment decisions than good ones. As for our coaching appointments, that is one big area where we should be using our significant financial advantage but we do the opposite.

I don't "blame the board for everything" Crocker is one example of that as I don't think that they could have done anymore but we can all see how our unbelievably steep decline has come about but, as long as pass and shirt sales are up, JR and KH will be happy.

Our requirements are for a SH, this should be the major priority and then after that depending on who we retain we may need a FB or a centre or a prop.

Saints I guess will have been putting together this signing for some time now, we have been waiting on the outcome of the Crocker saga which tied up a fair chunk of our future salary cap.

I'm confused. Is a centre our top priority for next season? Only I was under the impression that we desperately needed a Scrum Half.

So would people have been happy if we'd tied up a big chunk of cap space and a quota spot on a centre and missed out on a halfback?
