just heard from a very credible source that danny brough is 100% hullfc's half back target for next season. and according to him "it'll happen mark my words"

as is always the case on these formums ill not be saying who the scorse is, but with out question youll all know this guy and just how heavily associated with hull fc he's been over the years.

well its certainly added a boat load of credence to the rumour for me

As seen by the last night's coach fiasco. Your lot will be cadging lifts of supporters next

It's "been". I wouldn't argue any such thing. Rovers fans were wetting themselves at your depth in the forwards in the off-season, and used the description "paper-thin" on multiple occasions, even Mild Rover himself IIRC, to describe our squad. Hardly surprising you'll finish 4th in that context.

You're very confident Rovers will be "rocking" next season, I see. Good. Why would Hudgell be cutting back on spending when the North will be open to deliver his 10k break even? Inconsistent.

Still won knack all for a generation.

And I can 100% tell you that regardless of who our top target is, Danny Brough is not coming to Hull FC

Wolfie

I believed it was about rumors .One thing for sure all Hull Fans know HKR are sh=t that not a rumor that fact

why?

Is this a rumours thread about new signings or jealous ex fans

Tommy saxton's SL career was more successful than dobson's

Because he's not. He's happy with his family in Huddersfield and they have no desire to return to Hull. Huddersfield also don't require the money so a cash offer is pointless!!

Brilliantly true

That is so cruel ----- .but true

And Craig Fitzgibbons

What is your point?

How many years was Fitz here? Compare that to the number of seasons of Saxton and Dobson in the SL. Your comment is null and void.

Tommy Saxton > Michael Dobson.

Correct

By the same token

Ricky Bibey > Andy Lynch

It gets worse.

Again, with AP signing players of world class calibre(his words not mine)you are more than likely to be stronger on paper than we will be next season. As MrPhilb pointed out, the game is won on the pitch and looking at our consistant appearances in the play-offs, we seemed to have faired far better than you guys over recent years.

You will never hear me knocking Ellis because I think he is a world class player but not sure how many games he has played this season, I know he has been out for a good while. Arundal has missed the majority of this season, again due to injury but Watts has had off field troubles and has just not been good enough to make the 17 on many occasions in the last 2 years to get into what some FC fan earlier described as a 's**t' HKR team.
The good thing about all this is that all the players are going to be fresh and ready to go.

IMO you guys have not strengthed, forget buying a world class S/R forward, your problem has and still is you have had no quality in halves for years, how the club have not recognised this, I have no idea.

I think the club are trying to resolve the HB issue with upmost urgency tbh and if we could get someone like Brough or Holdsworth to be play alongside Seymour then we'll of massively improved over recent years

Since Rovers promotion, we've won a play-off game and so have you. We've also been to a major final. The big question is around the trajectories, ambitions and financial clout of the two clubs going forward. If our two chairmen's recent statements are to be believed, AP wants to really unlock our latent potential, and his articulation of his vision was apparently the tipping point for the aforementioned world class signing, Gareth Ellis. Hudgell is on record as saying Rovers are skint, will have to take backward steps and are unable to pay the market rate for players in many instances. It's all talk, isn't it? But as a fan, the mood music from FC is much more positive.

I'm not really sure what your point is on recruitment. Hull FC haven't finished yet AFAIK, but regardless of that, the landscape is fundamentally changing. Wigan in a scrap for Matty Smith to replace Thomas Leuleuia is the totem here. I'm confident AP won't sell us short in this environment. Selling the fans short, apart from things like announcing signings early (according to Hudge whenFC did it, now it's fine, apparently), would [udefinitely[/u include hiking ticket prices to watch a poorer quality squad, for example.

I've heard CRONK

Yep, AP has entered into an agreement with the Storm in which we both loan players to gain valuable experience. They're sending us Slater, Cronk, Smith & Manu. We're sending them Lynne, Horne, Ellis & Aspinwall.

Cheers.

agar made him offers in 09, no doubt of ridiculous money, didn't come then won't come now no way ever
