Ah, so that's why Club Rovers was rushed through and passes are up +23% in price - electronic turnstiles to stop people getting for nowt and a fee for Craig Hall.

Calm down.................just playing devils advocate on the fact he's contracted to Hull till 2010

Stop trying to spoil my weekend then. You know full well I've always been a big champion of Hall's.

shame he will never be a big champion of you............... now if you were a geezer

Think you are talking total b0llox personally. Maybe if you spoke sense and didnt spend all your life having a pop at FC people may just take you seriously?

well said

So any truth in a swap for cooke?

It's all hinging on the Lockyer deal.


Oh and...

old and crock? Lockyer is on his way to us!

can someone please explain why you find my original post bizarre?

i said its a rumour that hes signed......... doesnt mean he 100% has does it....?

and if you think players dont talk to people when they are under contract you may well be right....... but if you think players agents dont talk then you are very much deluded, yes its against the rules but that doesnt stop it happening - and i dont think it ever will.

It's strange because Craig Hall is a contracted Hull FC player until the end of 2010 season. For him to be playing for Rovers next year would therefore mean:
1) It's another Cooke scenario, possible but unlikely since this 2 year deal was done a year ago, so would doubt that his contract is unsigned (although this is FC we are talking about, so not impossible)
2) FC gave permission to Hall to find another club.

The point about agents talking to clubs etc would be valid if Hall were OOC at the end of this season, as there is undoubtedly tapping up of players going on before the 1 September deadline, but you are saying he is signing for Rovers for 2010 when he is still contracted to FC for that season. So really what you're saying is that FC are releasing Hall a year early.

As was pointed out, its bizaar as he is under contract until the end of next season, as even if it was till the end of this season, players can't be approached until 1st September, not only that, i know alot of people involved with the club and its not a rumour doing the rounds again

So it's a FACT, then?

You never disappoint with you manipulation of the written word

To avoid ambiguity then, since you have sources in high places at Rovers, answer the following question with either Yes or No:

Craig Hall: Rovers player in the 2010 season?

no

Supposing Hall wanted out of his contract and wanted to join Rovers, would you still want him playing for you next season?

if that was the case, i reckon they would leave him in the reserves to rot.
wonder if they would swap him for millsy?

On current form, yes. Our pack will be better next season, but we're light in the backs and Hall has done very well after his loan spell at Widnes.

Im just stating that Hall was made a scapegoat if you think he wasn't that fine and as an FC fan you may have more knowledge on the subject.
It did seem that Thorman had to pretty much sh** Agars dog before he got dropped as just an example of 1 player who didnt get the same treatment IMHO.
Oh and btw I dont spend all my life having a pop at FC no matter how much you think otherwise.
HTH

I just think it was easier to drop hall than it was to drop thorman. We had other players to play FB, thorman was the only Scrum half we had. (scrum half being a loose description

)

You said it mate Thorman was awful for weeks in his favoured position and stayed around.
Hall was playing in a strange position and was dumped.
Again im not making this up unlike some have suggested.

Had a chat with JM yesterday in the Great Hall at Wembley with regard to signings and retaining players.
Folowing that conversation I would be very surprised to see Craig Hall signed either this year or next judging by the centres that will be contracted next year.

Ooooo, I am gonna stick a wink on too

Of course you did, Morgs revealed everything to you didnt he, "Hiya Justin , im Digger a.k.a .Billy Bullter, please reveal you signings for next season to me "

Jog on..."Digger"
