Heard we have made a new offer to Kyle which matches Hull and he's likely to stay with us now.

What? So because, in your view, he's a nice bloke we should have signed him? Even if we don't plan on him playing him? Don't be so bloody melodramatic.

Give your head a shake

I wouldnt expect anything else from a superior teams supporters see you Saturday the whipping boys are coming to town

no that is true!!

In view of all the players Hull are signing i presume they have a higher salary cap than the rest of the SRL.

They have the same accountant as Warrington

Good to see some clubs still have ambitions.

Look at the players we have leaving.

The last board had a habit of signing average players on high, long term contracts like Turner, Sharp and O Carroll etc.

Spot on mate.
If winning and playing entertaining rugby week in and week out means putting your hand in your pocket. Then we should start doing it now before we end up like Bradford trying to scrape into the top 8.
How many years is it now that GH has said we have spare cash to buy someone if they become available?
We have lost some pretty high earners over those years and replaced them with run of the mill players on probably not very much money.
Come on GH get your hand in your pocket otherwise we will drop further down the pecking order as I am sure Hull will finish higher than us next year.

Strong rumours' around Wakey that Amour is going to Hull as part of the Briscoe deal.

Love it !!!!

(we need another back

)

I'd have him to replace BJB

I'd think that if we are going after Briscoe, a winger who's traditionally played on the left for Hull, it would indicate the desire, held by many, being realised of Hall moving into the Left Centre position for Briscoe to play on the left wing. Would also keep Ablett in the forwards. Can't see it as a replacement for BJB, given we already have Chisholm.

Why people insist on moving hall i will never know. Apart from being one of the worlds best singers he's not mobile enough or have good enough hands to be a centre.

Maybe he should go on X Factor if he is that good at singing Tad


Didn`t I hear Briscoe is better on the right wing?

Never liked the WBW acronym, WBS is not great but it's better.

Alternatively, it could be that Brian Mac thinks TB has the makings of a top-level left centre. IIRC he played right centre when he first debuted at Hull, as they had Raynor & that Aussie bloke Sing.

and bearing in mind the possibility of him wearing the 4 shirt next year, he's not as small as i thought. Same height as Watkins & Hall, 13st 8lb, so half a stone lighter than Watkins.

The same one who scored for Leeds Carnegie on Friday night? OK then.

the one that's there temporarily? Yeah, that one.

Whilst i understand the desire to see Hall get his hands on the ball more, playing centre is still very different to wing and the 2 biggest questions about it would be,
- could he be a good enough provider to his winger (this was Hardaker's major flaw in that position)
- would he cope postionally in defence moving inwards

I'm not convinced on either tbh.

Hall isn't a bad winger why move him?

That's the problem with some recruitment, we should see a position we want to recruit someone in and find someone who plays that position. Square pegs in round holes doesn't always work.

it's why I think, if Briscoe comes, he's going to LC rather than Hall.

When will some on here learn....we aint getting Tom Briscoe or any other 'big name signing': it's all designed to whet the appetite enough for the gullible season ticket holders to renew like the ever faithful sheep they are.

Keinhorst is getting the no.4 shirt next season: like it or lump it. I, for one, hope he proves his doubters wrong and creates a dynamic left wing partnership with Hall.
