I see maths is still an issue! According to the website "Lynch, 31 still has 9 years on 38 year old Menzies".

Oh dear!!

Superb signing and well done Hull FC.

to be honest, I always take the phrase "significant six figure sum" and the like with a pinch of salt, there are only a handful of people who really know what money changes hands, as someone suggested (yesterday, I think) we may well have a friendly against Bradford and let them keep the gate receipts, 4,000 FC fans at £18 each makes a big hole in £100k.

Thought we were already playing them for Radders testimonial ? I might be wrong

Considering what we paid for Westerman,surely it has to be a mistake?.

Excellent signing. Well done AP.

Fantastic signing really chuffed about this and his ability to play 80 minutes is a big advantage to us

Good signing, hope he puts in the type of performances he put in for Bradford for us

Great signing, still on of the best props in SL.

Gives a very powerful frontrow for next season, much better than this year.

who cares about the Money, it's Pearson money.

Without spending money we would struugle to attract a decent prop, what do you want the club to do sign a player of Richard Moore's standard.

Welcome to the club Andy, another great move by Mr Pearson.

Who cares!

AP knows what he has to spend so it's his decision about valuations on players.

Fantastic signing, will be a great addition to our pack. He could easily be around for 3/4 years.

Same type of player as Dowes average

If you've only paid £100k then you've got a bargain. If you look at Lynch's stats over just the last 3 years at Bradford (I have put out his 7 year averages on the Bulls board) you'll see he's been improving rather than declining.

He's carried the Bradford pack during his time at Odsal. He's easily got 2 years left in him that you guy's have offered. I'd go so far as to say he's probably got a couple of years after that left in him too.

Welcome aboard Andy, great signing who will just get on with the graft for 80 minutes.
Well done Hull.

Same type but hell of a lot more bite.

Fantastic signing !





Whatever AP has paid the bulls for Lynch, he will know that he'll get it all back and much more when our front row is the cornerstone of a team that is much stronger than last season's.

AP knows what he needs to spend, how to spend it and where to spend it. He also knows what can, potentially, come rolling in when the gates are averaging towards 20K each week.

Great signing and more to come !!!! God it's good to be B&W !

Either you don't watch/understand much SL or you are on drugs !

Where has everyone seen six figure sum, I've missed it? Heard it was on the radio, but the only mention in articles I've seen is HDM's £50k.

Hull's website.

I've read both articles, all I've seen is 'significant transfer fee'.

no idea, my views on him having one are well documented.


indeed, some don't agree though



it is AP's money and decision, but I am allowed an opinion, and my opinion is that £100k is £40/50k too much, especially if that £40/50k would have kept Luke Briscoe.

Who said you wasn't? I was giving mine!

We have no idea why Luke left.

Luke Briscoe won't make our pack stronger next season.

that wasn't my point,as you well know.

Reading the club's statement on Briscoe it seems that cash wasn't the problem per se. Looks like a little 'industrial espionage' went on and we didn't even get the chance to meet the competing offer.
