Dont know is it.

No.

This is how it works.

1) Players agent contacts clubs to make them aware of the players availablity.

2) Club decides whether to make an offer or not.

3) Club tells players agent of decision.

It was at stage 2 that Morgan contacted Dixon.

What exactly is your problem with this?

So if Morgan wanted him he would be at Rovers, Ok then, do you think you just have to click your fingers and players will sign for Rovers



I would doubt that a player of Berrigan calible would have signed for anyone other that a top six team.

Show me a link either that backs up ANYTHING that you have said about Berrigan, I will start to believe you, otherwise I only have your word and with your track record of statments it is very hard to believe

Question for Zod

Would Morgan guarantee Hall a starting centre position ?

Whats your opinion Hutchie.

I not Hutchie, but I thought have thought the answer would be no, with webster and Walker at centre, i couldnt see Hall getting a starting spot and I think that is one of the reason he will stay at Hull.

No and more to the point, where the hell have I [uever[/u said that?

Had his references been suitable, Morgan would have no doubt made an offer for him to play at centre but even then he wouldn't have offered him the money that Hull did as centres generally cost less than hookers.


Berrigan signed the best deal possible for him and like I have said before, no other SL club was prepared to match Hull's offer a 4 year deal of £180,000 per year.



I've already said more than I should have really. Besides, thinking logically , do you think such discussions would be made public knowledge on a website link???


I'm not asking you to believe me, I'm just telling you the truth. The infamous Yeaman quote was stated after he had visited Craven Park and agreed terms with Justin Morgan. In most cases, players who agree terms usually sign on that basis hence my "prediction". Anyway, do you really think I give a toss that Yeaman didn't sign? I'm more than happy with our centres, believe me.

And after all that and taking into account Berrigan is a Hull player, what exactly is your problem?

I like him as a player but he has 2 big deficencies in his game right now.
1 he needs to bulk up as he gets bumped off too easily.
2 he needs to play with his head up more.

Doubt it but ya never know.

He certainly isnt the finished artical, but has the potentila to be one of the best British centres in SL, he looks alot stronger this season and looks better in defence.

If Hull let him go it will be a massive mistake IMO.

Thats always a danger with producing good young players.
Other clubs often get the benefit after they emerge.
Radford being an example

I would hope that the club is in a position now to not lose top young players, the same would go for Rovers.

Hopfully the days of losing the Radford's and Wilkins are gone.

A few years ago alot of 16 year olds use to sign for Leeds, Bradford and even Halifax

, think those days are gone with the strenght of the two clubs.

I hate seeing top young players leave the city.

1 I would agree with but is not uncommon for young players.
2 ?

Young players have weak areas to work on. When you have too many in a side the side struggles because there are too many weaknesses combined. Hall will be a SL centre in years to come.

We know about young player development at Hull FC.

Watch him closely when he recieves the ball at Hudds and you might pick up on what i mean.

ther lies you answer, without a guaranteed centre spot he wont even contemplate a cross city move

as Dave has said below, why would he when you have 2 first choice centres who are earning big bucks, why would you have the luxury of a 3rd one

He wont play wing as he hates it and i dont think Morgan would go for him for that reason

Salary Cap will dictate that i imagine mate as will quota restrictions.
Im the same.
Leeds used to cream off loads at one point.

Don't think you can be 100% sure of this!

Obviously he isnt Craig Hall, i would have though he knows 100% what he will do next season, i am fairly confident that he will stay at Hull though.

Hull will have to prioritise, Hall is our best young prospect after Houghton IMO (who is already signed up). they may have to lose other players to keep Hall.

This thread illustrates a real shift in the RL power in the city.

Rovers fans thinking that Craig Hall may sign next season, obviously Craig is an up and coming star....

... and FC fans thinking he wouldn't even get in Rovers team....

Shift in power? Deffo

Watch this space

After signing Paul Cooke for free anything is possible.

You keep telling yourself that

If Hall leaves Hull he'll be going West, not East of the KC
