By all accounts tried to convince him to stay didnt he and said publicly that he recons he was one unlucky not to be around the rep arena regularly too..
and for what its worth Cam is the one at FC who brought him to our attention as he is a very good friend of his!!!
When asked his opinion Fitzgibbon aparently said "class athlete, sign him quickly"

He will undergo a rigerous MOT over in Oz to fill the terms of his FC contract and should that be ok I believe we have brokered a deal here bringing to FC IMO a player who will instantly become the best FB in SL, anyone who has seen him play knows he is quality of the highest degree

well done FC.... and next week

good reading isnt it!!!

Whats happening next week ?

You do have to worry about someone who has persistent hamstring problems like that. Still, the deal is done now so we need to give him a chance. I'd like to say that a coach lives and does by his signings but I'm not sure that applies with ours....

He is top quality and always has been, very highly regarded in Aus. Of course there are concerns about his past injuries but imo he is equally as good as Hodgson and he has gone well over here.

I think he will be a very good signing for us.

But we still don't know what's happening next week

Big gamble the signing but the comments from Wests fans have made me happier about the signing and their ones who have seen him 1st hand this season . Let's hope Moa and Ogre signed up soon aswell

McKinnon has been named in the Wests side to play Newcastle this coming weekend so if you've got Premier Sports it's a chance to have a look at our new number one.

Mind games

Think Icecreamman is covering his back for next week incase they announce something then he can say told you so and might happen if we lose to rovers

WHY WOULD I HAVE TO "COVER MY BACK"?? I lose nothing if nothing happens!! you are unhinged mate!
however the club are hoping to sort a couple of contact extentions asap as most know already and another signing that is well documented already hopefully concluded as well
catch up son!!

only playable with those with minds tho

Who's the signing then ?

Ellis from Leigh.

Thought he might have meant someone different as its well known about ellis

Did you really just claim that McKinnon is better than Sam Tomkins ???

Which is what he said here:


Not sure why he was being slightly cryptic though.

Moa's or Ogres extension

Being kept on hold so we can break a good news story should the worst happen sunday

Wouldn't be surprised at all

Got to say ICECREAMMAN you are very positive about everything Hull FC no matter what!

I suppose that is refreshing if not a little blinkered at times!!

yep icecreamman is always positive, always gives me a lift to read his reports,unlike sum on here where i feel like jumping of the humber bridge

like i said

I just try to see things without the knee jerk lets sack everyone attitude some have , but thanks for the support mate.. Being a head coach is possibly the hardest job in Rugby because as we see on here daily every move is scruitinised take for arguments sake
SL and Wade signings , does anyone honestly think that the injuries suffered have not been taken into consideration when signing them?? sometimes flyers have to be taken and intelligent gambles done but always in the best interests of the club and fans who pay... as for me I dont actually agree with some things that have gone past AND personel we have brought in and have voiced my opinion on those issues in my own way, however until I am made Head coach I have to believe that the club and head coach want what we all do and that is sucess, however success isnt instant and for once it is clear that FC are not knee jerking to win silverware but slowly building a quality squad for the future with a mix of youth and experience..
Its too easy to jam the club, players and coach , I just see it with a wider view than some of the heros on here i think

Thank you, like you i simply want the club to be sucessful, but not at any price!!
those who have watched carefully and removed the anti agar specs will of course have seen that the club have worked very carefully to build a top flight club here in Hull, slowly but surely removed all debt, placed the club in an enviable position as a buisness and now recently the squad has been looked at long term rather than the quick fix signings of the past and coach sackings for which we became famous...
rome wasnt built in a day .... i just dont go for wholesale slander of the club from KH down like some

The voices in his head haven't told him yet
