wow, I never thought my one off-the-cuff statement would've had so much clout! Feathers all over!

two points to consider, true or false

HKR were RUMOURED (key word) to be a bit low on funding...
HKR spend not too far from the wage bill?

My suggestion of "maybe they can't afford to pay a fee" fits in, as they may not be able to afford to pay Poore without unloading a couple of players. A possibility, no?

All hypothetical, but I still reckon it does/would hold water whether you financial directors on here say otherwise or not

Eureka!

There is some right old crap on this thread but this guy has it in one!

If we offload an expensive player and save a fortune but pass the liability of his wages on to someobe else then you can't also ask them for a fee as well!

I too do not rate Omar and would prefer us to retain our own, but this maybe a condition of any proposed deal. We are NOT in a strong position to negotiate!

HKR agreed a fee with WTW 2 months ago, the stumbling block has always and still is due to HKR not yet agreeing personal terms with BC, his own twitter account clearly says HKR are dragging their heels the article in the paper is inaccurate

Perhaps they were a little hasty with the £30k offer and realised that it may be slightly over the odds for an enthusiastic but limited player. On the other hand I expect HKR to pay Trinity to take Caro off their hands.

Apparently BC has verbally agreed terms but as yet the contract hasn't yet been forthcoming to sign. I also wonder whether Hull KR have now gone back on the 30k offer and are trying to combine the Poore deal in with it so less actual cash changes hands overall.

Touched a nerve then?

to be honest we are bored with the ben cockayne thing again, i mean we at hull kr are now looking into josh mantellato from italy the goal kicking winger. and now we have lost dobson we need another player who can kick goals. and why the bitterness with us kr fans we have being in your place were money is very tight. but has someone on our page said we have a new set of investors. being a mid table team helps get some investment so i really hope wakey do well and get themselves sorted. cos my dad was from wakey but he has died end of july

I'm honestly surprised Wigan haven't got in for Josh Mantellato kinda like a double of Pat Richards just a lot younger.

Mantellato signed a new deal with Newcastle about a month ago i think.

his contract up in 2014 and he is behind magnaus and uati, so newcastle maybe willing to off load him and get some cash for him instead of him going on a free next season but then again we are only looking at the moment but he is tempting cos justin poore takes up our last quota spot. so cos he mantellanto has a italian passport he classes has a non fed or kolpack player but we will see

Hull KR forum suggesting Poore deal will be announced before 11/11/13.

I like Poore but if he is on a big wage then its probably better for us. Maybe we can place an offer to Mark Offerdahl.
Theres a lot of rumours going about of more playing going too.

Poore does not take up our last spot because with off loaded Tim Smith earlier so currently have a space spare.

Rebelrobin made the comment about the quota spot. I suspect it is Hull KR's quota that they are referring to not Wakefield's?

This.

I maybe being a little slow here but is there a reference to that date that I am missing?

Dont know but it is armistis day.

A Poorepy pun maybe.

It was quoted by a regular user on your forum as the date by the announcement(s) will be made as it is the start of your pre-season training.

That would make sense but the '

' threw me.

Still no clue even with that TBH.

We should get the number 15 for Fiji on half Poores wage job done. He is playing in elite pro 1. He stood out against the aussies. E.Vunacke

Was he the guy with the hair? He was worth wwatching again I agree.
Not sure why he is playing in France though.

Just a recognition that we're losing another good player.
