On another note I have been reading on the Bradford forum on who's OOC that they would like to keep.think every posted had put Crookes down for a 3/4 year contract, I wasn't sure about this rumoured signing but they see the kid every week so if they rate him as being such a big talent then he would seem to be a good signing if true.

Crookes sounds more positive than arundel reading fans opinion

Crooks or Crookes?

Finch has been great this season. Can't see us getting him but would be a fantastic signing.

Crookes from Bradford.

Another stop gap signing though for me, a pivot at his age next year? wouldn't say no but would prefer to look elsewhere first.

Wane on Brett Finch: “If there’s a chance of hanging onto him then I’d be very keen to."

Maybe this suggests he (Finch) may be looking elsewhere.

Be a great signing, there is no doubt that is he chooses us over Wigan, it will be for the money, but who cares?

Agree

Absolutely at his age, same position as Manu last big pay-out, wouldn't bother me though. Presently the best in the league imo.

Brough will NOT be at Hull FC next season. From the mouth of Shaun McRae.

Has he? Didn't notice any change.

Me neither.

Nor me

On the radio

Nope.

fare enough, as i said hull want him and he wants to come but wanted brough to make the move more possible, maybe hes been unable to do this

McRae was asked specifically if Brough would be one of the signings to come in next season and he categorically denied him coming.

by you,or the media?

What else did he say?

I doubt he could say not sure but we are tapping him up



For what it is worth I do not think he will come

my thoughts exactly.

"The recruitment is on going"



Also denied Benji!



They like Russell and could look to extend his stay. They also expect Whiting to stay. We need two referees to clean up the ruck, far too slow. Exiles is well overdue, we aren't getting any closer to Aussies and this series could make a big difference. London RL doesn't work, neither does one French side (for a number of reasons which he wouldn't go into!). AP is very passionate about the club.

Oh, and Adam is better looking then Kath

Heard that before somewhere

He likes donuts
