[quote="Dave K.":1mc7ahlh]If the tag line is that Staveley was down the pecking line, then we should only be signing someone who is better and maybe more experienced than him. Still disappointing, I know there are two sides to a story, but it does sound like he wanted to stay and fight for his place (even moved to Hull), but the club didn't want him. It won't happen, but would love the club to come out and say why he was released, we have had alot of abuse directed our way from previous players, would be good to fight back a bit.[/quote:1mc7ahlh] There are legal/HR implications for saying anything these days. Generally employers now just give references with dates you were employed and that is that, for fear of reprisals later.

[quote="BOSS HOG":f7l0a685]The fact that you didn`t name the current CEO of the RFL and called him: "The Head Of The RFL", says it all.....scarcely anyone outside the City of Hull knows who he is! Maybe some Hull FC fans don`t know either?[/quote:f7l0a685] Presume you're meaning Tony Sutton (of Hull)? The article suggests it's the RFL chair, Simon Johnson, who they are looking to replace.

[quote="UllFC":2ff0ys47]Cartwright suggesting in Hull Live that he only was involved in signing Cust, Rapana and Sezer which isn't a surprise. If some of the others don't perform he may be saying to Andrew 'speak to your son in law' then...[/quote:2ff0ys47] To be fair you could easily flip it the other way. All our overseas signings have a previous connection to Cartwright it was obvious he’s picked the quota players. All due respect to Sezer and Cust, I don’t think they’d have been the club or Mylers ideal choice of a halfback pairing, and you could argue that a specialist centre would have been preferable to Rapana but the strategy has been players Cartwright knows well and trusts and the club have gone with that. If the quota players don’t perform for whatever reason it will be on him.

It’s pleasing to see that despite us being a little short in that area the principles of what is expected, what the Coach demands from every player in attitude & effort be it in a game, training or injury recovery are none negotiable. It’s been a long time coming that we have a Coach instills discipline across all aspects of being a Pro RL players amd having the financial clout to back his decisions.

Get the feeling Kirby is higher rated than Jebson given Kirby played at the weekend and Jebson didn't.
