According to the suns nosey dave parker, Bradford are wanting to sign shannon. He says he's been training on his own after a contract dispute.

Anyone no any truth?

Allegedly he’s submitted a grievance against the club. The sooner he's gone the better for all concerned imo.

I don't believe he has done anything wrong but think a parting of the ways would be best for everyone.

Been given a rough deal imo I'm sure he could have done a job for us on the wing.

Heard the rumours that Smiggs mentioned. If true I think best all round the sooner he leaves. Harsh on him as I was impressed by him last season but an unhappy player on the books is never a good thing IMO.

Was thrown money at by the last coach and DOR, we've seen a way out of the contract on a technicality. Not pretty, but needs must.

Needed him of the payroll, how else are we to fit our new centre in?

Which new centre would that be ?

His grievance is he's been cut. That's how we afforded carvel i was told
Our centre will be salary exempt this year!

I think he's referring to the "high profile" outside back we're set to be signing now that the Biggs deal is off.

Eastmond?

Cheers Doc

If you're on about who I am i'm not sure how he could be cap exempt. Doubt Carvell will be on the same figure McDonnell was.

I think you might have something there!

Playing union at the minute , will we be using him as a or a half back

Centre. Crikey, we don't need another half!

I am disappointed how we are conducting ourselves as a club

Looking in from the outside, We don't look like a very attractive club to come to.

Before he got injured he was second to Tomkins in the stats, and now we just let him disappear?

something isn't right behind the doors and hasn't been for a long time.

Entirely agree. You'd have to think long & hard to join Hull on a` long' contract.
Don't see how they can cut McDonnel, if he has done all the right things re his rehab'
Surely Pearson has to honour is contract or pay his contract off in full.

The official pre party for House of Tequila on Good Friday! Wristbands available at the bar! Hull FC's Shannon McDonnell spinning from 9pm.. Kick of the bank holiday in style!

Not same figure but it freed money.
From a good source was told Shannon(who he rates but has cheaper alternative) along with 3 or 4 more players radFord doesn't highly rate take up 350/400k of cap space. He wants as any coach would to mould his own team. That's hell of a chunk tied up!

Another way to look at it is mcdonnell has earned in excess of 10 grand for every game he's played for us so he's not done too badly out of the deal

mcdonnell
arundell
miller
pitts

All on stupid money dished out by gentle and mcrae

Jason Crookes?

Not meant as a criticism or anything but do you actually know this or are you just guessing?
