"I love this club," Fox told the Hull Daily Mail. "I'm really happy and settled and the coaching staff are great".

Sounds familiar!

Fox = sly vermin.

A little, but with one additional important factor which should not be ‘misunderestimated’

He has just signed a new 3-yr contract, he's doing well gaining somekind of international comp and im glad hes stayed at a middle of the table side.

But cant we move on now

Who?

Who can blame him for leaving wakey for more money.

I would leave my job for more as I expect most on here would.

Great prospect and will figure at international level IMO and I hope we made every effort to retain him at the time. I would love to know how his salary demands at the time compared to Matt Peterson's package now!

how much do we pay Peterson
What did we offer Fox

TOO MUCH.


Don't have any idea but you raise a fair point, he's twice the player Peteresen is.

Hindsight i suppose plays a part.

No idea, but the point remains had there been enough money on the table then Fox would perhaps have stayed at Wakefield. Thats why the situations are different.

Middle of the table side ?

Don't let the mighty Robins hear you say that; they are the best team in the world never mind in super league



Fox is a quality winger and has progressed a lot signing for rovers but as you have said the main motivation in that move was £££££££££

By my reckoning i thought that fox had left the middle to bottom super league side that is wakefield and joined a more ambitious club in hull kr,and for far more money as well!
Who wouldnt do the same given the chance?

Why are they far more ambitious?

He means the clubs in more debt, i think

The lad's a professional, and a bloody good one at that. While he was in our employment he gave us his all and earned his money. When his contract was up KR thought he was worth more than we did - simple really, what would you in his position? We were letting players of the calibre of Semi, BJ etc. go without too much of a fight - we looked like a club without ambition. As it happens, JK is a genius and knew what he was doing, but I and many others did wonder at the time...

Good luck to him, I think he's a great prospect. No bitterness here.

Future England winger alongside young Ainscough

maybe.

You have to admire Justin Morgan, he certainly knows how to 'big up' KR As quoted on news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_l ... 039156.stm "I think he is a very ambitious person and ambitious player and I think that matches the club's ambition," Morgan said. "He's very keen to get some individual honours but he's also keen to get some team honours and he feels our club can provide that."

The thing we lack this season is real pace out wide Fox had this as did White Blanch is quick but noiwhere near as quick as these two we will miss him now this season we have nobody who can go 100 yards for a try
Wigan could expose our lack of pace in the centres and wings today on a dry Belle Vue track

They will no doubt try to and if it stays dry we may have problems, we've had loads of speed men at BV and we never gave them the ball or the chance to motor.

Sampson and frew for eg!! we left them stood out on wing to do nothing, not saying there were world class wingers but god could them lads shift........ nearly as fast as Sovatabua n Bright Sodje

Or KR could afford to offer him more. I wouldn't have thought anyone at Wakey under estimated how good Fox was however with another Club bidding for his services you can only go so high as you have to consider other players and strengthening in other areas.

I'm sure thats true, HKR had more funds available and we could not match that and strengthen the rest of the squad.


Foxys in danger of being the new Korki on here.

Completely agree. We should have given him the package we gave to Peterson as IMHO Fox is one of the best wingers in SL. Real loss for the club.

Why? Is Peterson on more than Fox was offered? Is he on more than Fox is at KR?

yea course he is. Thats why Fox left because we offered him peanuts.

Go on then ill ask.
