| just been reading about Ben Galea seems a sad state of affairs that he is leaving Rovers for FC. I wonder how many more are thinking of doing the same. Is this some kind of Paul Cooke get back from Adam Pearson. Still like the look of our signings over theres though. I think Hudgell/sandercock has gone back to passion for next season. Fancy three derby wins for 2013.

It's nothing like the Cooke situation. If anything it's more like the Chris Chester or Shaun Briscoe moves. Player see's out contract and moves on.
You have been in your car a bit too long if you don't see the quality in Hulls Signings to date.
I'll have a tenner with you that your derby prediction is wrong. [size=50unless you mean three derby wins for Hull FC[/size

| I think galea is a fantastic player but it is exactly the right time to let him go.
We kept vella a year to long and if we'd kept galea it'd have been exactly the same situation. injured half he season and us suffering for it. I'll wish him good luck but can see another injury hit season for him and fc .

| After the London game I witness one of Rovers lady fans give Benny G a hug and thank him for his time at Rovers, but then she added the next time she sees him he will be the enemy. She was serious. Benny G's face dropped. In that fleeting moment I got the impression his move across the city hit home. There's no sentiment in 'ull lol!

| I have to admit it did make me smile when I saw this news. Even more so that when some fans (and a few of them are on this thread) went from BG the KR Ledgend who had another year in him, to past it turncoat!
And not one of you really has a clue exactly the salary that has been agreed. The fact is he wanted to stay and you couldnt meet his expectations financially and so parted company.
He will be a very useful addition to an already very good second row at FC and Im sure PG will use him accordingley, If hes injured a lot then thats a risk you take, it could happen to any player.
As most of you have rightly said BG is a model pro and knows how to look after his body, with the right guidance he CAN have another good year.
For me, the main difference is at KR, Benny was integral, first name on the sheet, at FC he will be part of squad and uses accordingley, giving him time to recover from game to game.
He will be a great mentor and leader to the young players and all teams need a blend of youth and experience, that is exactly what PG is doing.
At the end of the day if he had signed another year at KR, even at the imaginary £100K per year figure that is being banded about, you would all be singing from the rooftops.
Get over it.
Welcome to the biggest club in Hull Mr Galea and wish you every success.

We can only aspire to your level of objectivity, obviously.
You do make [isome[/i valid points - his experience and professionalism will be real assets. i wouldn't have been at all sorry to give him one last year - singing from the rooftops is pushing it though. 4 excellent seasons and 1 not so good is a decent way to bow out - [uif[/u it'd gone to 4 and 2, then that'd 'tarnish' the memories more than this. We've been, if not burned, then singed at least, a couple of times by 'one last year' so I would have been pleased but wary.
There's not been much controversy this season, I think some people are just trying to treat their withdrawl symptoms.

Almost correct, Rovers never offered him another deal (a broken promise). Make no mistake he will be up for the derbies to prove a point.

You're not exactly on 1st name terms with facts are you?
Rovers 100% offered Galea a deal, it wasn't one he found acceptable. Still, he may as well take the 100K from Mr Pearson before returning down under. Good luck to him, smashing bloke.

You heard different? Maybe he's playing for the privilege of lining up next to Ellis, like the HDM assume everyone else will.

| Well, I'd love to take him for a year. I've seen him many times and know he's a very good, very professional player with guts and passion.
Age has nothing to do with it. Rovers are cutting their cloth to accomodate the massive losses this season. The fact they reduced his wage (a proven player who offered far more than Clinton did in his time) speaks volumes.

I think 100K will be about right,was told Hudgell offered him 85K compared to his 135K this season

If hudgell offered 85k and it was rejected, then that was back in early July. Galea may well be in a position of having to take what he can at this late stage of the season for finding a new club. Factor in he will will not be top boy, like is at rovers, then it would be unusual to offer a new player a massive deal as it was disrupt the dynamics of the existing squad.

You talk about facts then proceed to quote an unsubstantiated salary.
Still a bundle of contradictions I see.

You have not backed up your statement, therefore by definition its unsubstantiated. You have assumed a figure with no back up facts.
