Hopefully closely followed by o meely!

already sorted.

Not electric pace but his speed of thought makes up for it.

Good kicker and with full time coaching and practice will be an excellent kicker.

Very good near to the line on putting players through gaps and taking the chances himself.

Has come on leaps and bounds under 'Basil' Millward who likes a good organising Scrum half (Longy?).

Great team player but don't expect 75m breaks he's more of a creator for others.

Quite tall for a scrum half and has beefed up around the torso and shoulders since coming to Leigh which makes him strong in the tackle.

He left Saints under a cloud, but seems to have put that behind him and has been a model 'pro' this year turning up for 'out of hours' pro-mo's etc.

McKinnon signs... Can Phelps not sign too? Should Lauaki and Fitz leave we have two spots on the quota? Unless they have someone else lined up, I don't see why they can't do this, unless they go into the season with a quotas space availlable. Perhaps they should just re-sign Mr Fitzgibbon.

Sorry mate, you need a reality check.

Simon Mannering is the captain of NRL Grand Final contenders NZ Warriors and a cornerstone of the reigning World Champion and Four Nation-winning Kiwi team.

He is 24 years of age and would be one of the most sought-after players on the open market, just at a time when the NRL salaries are going to explode (due to increased TV revenue next year).

It will be a long time before you see anyone of his pedigree arriving at Hull FC (or any other Super League clubs for that matter).

I'm afraid it will be injury-scarred 'have-beens' like Wade McKinnon arriving in Super League from Australia next year, or none at all!

I think lauaki will be leaving,maybe fitz aswel,depends on how he feels,i still believe phelps will stay i think hes coming along pretty well.

Not entirely sure what you mean there, but one thing's for sure....Signing Ellis and McKinnon is like being given a teaspoon of sugar, followed by a tablespoon of shyt!

You told us minichello was "very much on the radar" the other day. Make your mind up

McKinnon! FFS. Rather Keep Phelps if that's the best we can do.

Good news on Ellis, mind. An organising scrum half with a kicking game, under 25. That'll do for me.

Never heard of Mckinnon as dont watch Aussie rugby apart from S.O.O......Ellis sounds a good un and may be the end for Williams.

me too mate ,the lad wants to stay and is on penuts ,would be very supprised if he wasnt resigned

Its just constant drivel. If he was connected to the club in a meaningful way, he wouldn't post who we were signing, and fair play. All of the posts are either an elaborate plan by the club to spread misinformation, or just self important cack.

As regards this 31 year old Aussie, I am utterly underwhelmed. Would have rather kept on Phelps for another year to see how he goes.

agree, i too will be underwhelmed by us signing an ageing aussie with a history of injuries who i havent heard of! I know Phelps hasnt blown us away but he hasnt done much wrong..would rather spend our cash elsewhere....would welcome young Ellis though.

He's younger than Brett Hodgson so are you saying you wouldnt have him in your squad if your just going on an age thing? Also isnt he fit again?

Implication from a quota point of view I suppose is that he replaces Lauaki. So if Fitz also goes, we've one spot left?

We're talking to a half back from france and sign one from leigh

Surely he'll be replacing phelps?

I thought those in the know were suggesting Phelps will stay? 2 quota spots on full backs - it's the future.

Leigh sur Mer

What I've seen of McKinnon I think he's a good player , it's just the 3 years I'm worried about if true . Would only give 3 years to players under the age of 30 , but if he doesn't count on the qouta it's an added bonus to . Gives us more chance to balance the squad for next season . Maybe the 3rd year is also optional , on appearances or both party's to agree etc .

Yeah i defo would have hodgson...its just an acumilation of age,injuries an the fact iv never heard of him!

You should do what Mrs B does and just look at the pictures

Ha,ha il try that but dont think that will work for me...nowt wrong with a good set of abbs though!!

Think this kid is a good full back,good at taking the high ball and good at running the ball out,don't know if he warrant's a three year contract though
