What we expected, I guess. Both can play SL standard and both will do well imo.

As said before, I feel, for his own personal development, Danny Addy needs to get away from the Bulls and into a new environment - one where he can play in his best position [wherever that is judged to be and not be a Jack of all trades, as he's been used at the Bulls. I think he's been an absolute hero sticking his hand up and doing everything he's been asked to do, but he probably needs to be a bit more selfish now.

I'm not convinced either would stand out if playing in SL. But if they're off to KR then they won't need to worry about that, for next season at the least

I feel sorry for Huddersfield - Addy will single handedly make their missed tackle statistics for worrying reading.

Not when he's playing for KR he won't.

And least of all when they're playing Huddersfield.

Oops. Brain fart alert.

Why aint hull kr anouncing the signings of clark and addy? Has there been a change of heart from either player or club.
Also why aint huddersfield anouncing clough,fergy and gaskill? Again sighned by the ex coach. Does rick stone not want them?

Nick Scruton has been signed up by Hull KR. Perhaps they've gone back on their deal to sign Clark and Addy as you would have thought they would have announced the deals by now? Unless they are saving the announcement for a season launch kind of event like we did with some of our signings.

I think our back room team are quite busy renegotiating contracts from the current squad who we want to keep, as of now we only have 4 players officially signed for next year so far, if they are still coming (and I hope addy isn't) I'm sure it'll be announced in due course

Addys not sure now he said he has other offers besides ours and also could stay at Bradford

Much as I have a lot respect for Danny, I think he needs to move from the Bulls. If he gets a deal somewhere in SL he'd be mad not to take it, I guess, with KR's unfortunate relegation his end of season has turned turtle along with the the rest of the staff at Craven Park.

I'm sure that there was a statement from Hudgell on the Scuton signing suggesting he was loyal still joing the club when he could have backed out... suggests others have done so.

With no announcement, I'd assume this could be the case with Mitch and Danny. Why would they look to further their careers with another club in the same league?

Implied in the League Express this week that Stone is having second thoughts as they agreed to sign under Anderson. I imagine Gaskell has burned his bridges at Odsal, rumours has it so has Clough. Would keep Fergy on a reduced pay but imagine he could still get a better deal elsewhere if the Giants say no.

Fergie wants to stop signed for Hudds while Lowes was in charge didn't see eye to eye with him totally different situation with Smith.

I think that was just another dig at Adam Walker tbh.

Yeah, got that impression from him at the sponsors quiz night. Nice guy, really hope we can keep him.

The rest can go for me, even Mitch Clark. Had stormer of a first half of season although think he's been poor since coming back from injury. He has aspirations above championship, but not ready IMO. Needed another year at least and if he's ready to jump ship after just one year then he can go for me.

Different story with Fergz.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to have noticed this. Before the injury, he was outstanding. Since coming back, he's done next to nothing. Yeah he's solid enough, but nowhere near the player we all raved about. Sure that could be down to not being fit, or it could be down to not being motivated due to being in the tin pot competition. But nevertheless, he's been a shadow of what he was earlier in the season.

I think Ross is pretty clear in today's T&A that all of them, including Ferguson, are definitely leaving. In fact it clearly says that Fergy 'has left' i.e. Past tense

I wonder what Ross will fill his articles with when Addy, Clark, Gaskell, Clough and Ferguson finally leave?

The Israelites leaving Egypt

Surely that was before they were supposed to even approach him, let alone give him a contract to sign?

Depends if he was given permission. If a player is allowed by the club to speak to someone, they can do it whenever they like. If him and Lowes didn't see eye to eye, there's every chance Jimmy would have let him speak to whoever he liked.

Yeah, I know that - it's just that Hudds have 'form' for things like that. At least he did it properly and saw his contract through and didn't just not bother turning up for the coach on an away game...

ant tamper deadline was changed a couple of years back it isnt september anymore, more like may now IIRC.
