It's coming up to winter so a bit nippy!

What are we talking, coach, board?

sandy. I've heard he's very unpopular with most of the squad. They're used to morgan being really pally

Sounds like Agar and some of our players.

Sounds like the complete centre merry-go-round is Arundel to Hull, Turner to Saints, Shenton to Rovers and Webster to Cas.

Ben Crooks to Canterbury Bulldogs? They're showing an interest.

It says the same in the daily star this morning

Based on what? One game? They've got some scouting network if they're watching our 20's.
The Star story seems to make sense regarding the centre merry-go-round, but then they lose any credibility with the Crooks rumour.

Thank god Shenton seems to be heading for Rovers. We need the cash to spend else where in the squad and Shenton would of been a unnecessary expense.

It's as Jake says + serious disillusion at all levels.

Its more a "when and how do we solve it" rather than "do we solve it". Wheels in motion at a senior level.

Senior players may well force the issue. Contract terms are a difficult hurdle.

Can't say more.

i was really happy to forget about manu and move on, but ive just heard there has been a major problem with the funding for the deal that was agreed with saints. anybody else heard anything like this?

Surely that wouldn't affect Hull, though? Because he's OOC at the end of the season, we could just let him leave.

So when does Crooks contract end?

this major problem effects how much his salary would be worth. and there for could result in manu seeking out a different contracted, that different contract might well be with Hull FC. if there is no one else thats heard anything then there is probably nothing in it. just thought id put it out there.

Well if Gentles said 2014 I'd believe him, but I can't recall the club ever announcing a extension.

Lets hope he is.

Sheldon, I see you have mentioned on the Wigan board that it's rumored that Finch has told Wigan he is leaving them, lets hope if he does he comes to us.

Just what I read in a paper today mate, tbh if Jamie Soward's available forget about Finch.

I love to sign him, but I can't see him coming to SL, it would take a massive percentage of the salary cap.

Could Finch be happening?! Would be awesome.

Tbh I can't, he still has a year to run on his St George deal and I wouldn't be surprised if he's just putting himself in a good position to negotiate a new deal (with the cap going up and all) but we should inquire.

Oh god wouldn't it just



He would be ideal, took him a season like it does a lot of Aussies but he is now settled and performing top rugby in SL...[iIf [/ihe signed it would be as big as the Gareth Ellis coup for me

He would be a fantastic signing, exactly the kind of player we need...however I still can't see why he'd want to leave a Wigan side that is winning trophies, unless Hull go make a silly offer...which I wouldn't be happy with as it would mean we have a huge chunk of cap on 2 players.

Apparently Wigans offer is a poor one.

Does that include under the table payments?



I can see Wigan placing more importance in younger local players and spending a lot of the cap there tbh, Wane seems a big fan of their youngsters

Also says in nosey parkers column that we have signed a high profile prop from aus . The way gentle Pearson and some players are talking 2 big names have already signed . Maybe finch and someone like kite are the 2 .
