Just signed from Leeds on loan till berro is fit

Ted Bovis ?

Highly rated by the Leeds fans, not good news for washy.

In all fairness Washy is a loose forward, we've found out in the past that using square pegs in round holes doesn't work.

Sensible move, we don't have another hooker and Houghton can't do the full 80 mins.

Thought he played for city

Hi-de-Hi Campers!!!

For all that Kath Hetherington has her knockers (please don't), the free and immediate access you have to Leeds' young fringe players does benefit Hull in this sort of situation.

Is it confirmed anywhere ?

if so its very good news for both clubs

i wish we would look further than leeds for replacements, sounds as tho kath goes cap in hand to gary asking for help

So you wish we'd never picked up the likes of Dowes, Carvell, Raynor, Lupton, Broughton, Scruton etc etc?

It's perfect for us really to have the instant access to loan players when required and some that become permanent.

Good player, highly rated at Leeds

Too true. And it seems we don't have to reciprocate when Leeds get an injury crisis. Win-win!!

I take it he wont play against Leeds on Saturday , Good piece of business by Hull.

Why would Leeds loan us their players enabling us to strenghten our injury hit positions, increase our chances of winning a game or two, and therefore gain more points on the league ladder ??



Unless of course they don't consider us to be anywhere near good enough to challenge them in the SL table !!!

looks a good player from what i have heard

When loaning out youngsters, you don't see it as strengthening opponents. It's to give experience to one of most promising players for the future, as we have Buderus and Diskin. Sitting in the reserves for the year will do him no good, so getting game time this year means he should be ready to replace Buderus if he leaves next year.

But you could of course send him to a team that is going to be towrds the botoom of the SL table. Cas, Salford, Quins, Dobbins etc..

As far as I know, they do not require a spare hooker. Whereas you obviously do.

Doubt it but i remember Scruton once playing v Leeds for us and scoring a try. When he smiled he had his Leeds gumshield in.

...... I could but it's too easy..

Its down to the parent club whether the can play against them, like we allowed Richie Barnett Jnr to play against us when he went to Salford. And I remember Scruton doing that, while he was at Hull he changed his gumshield to black and white aswell

Sorry I forgot.... If you carry on playing against the weakened/decimated squads of the top teams like you already have against Leeds, Saints and Wire, of course you'll finish much higher up the table !!!!

To be fair to our red & white friends (much as I hate being fair to our red & white friends!) they can only beat what's in front of them.

However to get back on topic what does anyone know about McShane?
