Who says we have? Not a single mention of him by us. If Hull weren't happy I'm sure Pearson would make a complaint?

Possible scenario...

Tickle fancies going nearer to home, would rather not sign a new deal, and would like to go sooner rather than later? Hull FC allow him to scout a few options nearer to home but inform him their is by no means a guarantee he will be allowed to go early. Tickle finds himself a possible deal elsewhere and Hull FC then have the option to negotiate a fee / look for a replacement, telling Tickle no replacement and he can't leave etc.

If Widnes want Tickle they better have money for a transfer fee cos without one AP won't let him go anywhere and certainly won't let him go cheap.

No denying that whatsoever. For 2013 anyway.

We definately have the money, we do need tobe careful not to just throw it away. Investing in a player like Tickle wouldnt be throwing it away. The thing that worries me is at the fans forum SOC said hes not willing to fund any losses in the future, we need more stronghold members. Yet we paid Huddersfield a fee for Kevin Brown and the club are creating a £3.5 M training facility for the club.

You're biggest requirement is to replace Betts.

tickle IS going to widnes, we are recieving a fee and that fee will be used to buy someone else

I expected it and can't blame him . Whitehead would be nice .

Lets hope he can kick as good as Danny.

we are looking at offering fees for bradford players, but i believe the fee recieved from tickle will be used on a half back

Bradford players would be free to go to whoever in a week or so anyway wouldn't they?.. So why the fee.

To secure them before liquidation?

There was a hint in Pearson's interview in the Mail when he said "one or two favourites" would be leaving.

Makes sense to get a fee for Tickle rather than him leave for nothing next season, providing of course we can bring someone in of similar quality.

Confirmed via stronghold text ocarroll signed for us. He trained today with widnes and is in contention for cas monday

Plays once misses a few...walking sicknote mate.

horne at the end of the season

An improvement on what you've got if he stays fit so a good signing for you.

He may not be as good as he once was but I think he could still have a lot to offer the club in a back up/utility role. Still a good player on his day.

As much as Horne has done for us, I wouldn't be too unhappy if he left.

he's been a good servant, but he's also had a great living from FC, time he went, not up to the required standard and hasn't been for at least a season now.

I think thats the nicest thing you've said about for a few years

interesting they picked up on our pi$$ poor kicking game on extratime last night. As much I like Horne he can't be anywhere near the halfs next season

Fook me, there's people living in the amazon basin who have never seen anyone from outside their village who know that we have no kicking game

He's played more minutes for widnes than he has us this season







And a try as well
