Haven't you got some ironing to do or something?

I'll wait for this to be moved but in the mean time RL Express and the Aussie press believe that we are about to sign one of these two players and Agar says " We are pretty hopeful that we are down the track in a couple of areas and I would like to think that in the next two or three weeks we will have landed another couple of targets" He also says, " We are short in the halves there is no doubt about that"

And todays Sherlock Holmes award goes to...................

Hope the club can deliver one of them. www.sporthull.co.uk/rugby_league ... p?ID=12707

Typo fixed

Orford please, but either would be a cracking signing.

Orford please

Sounds to me like a halve and a back. Lets hope the club get it right.

When we were linked to Kimmorley last season I thought he was too old, but after seeing him play several times for the Bulldogs this year I would love to see him here. He really has turned the years back and is in sensational form.

Orford is no spring chicken either, but again his organisational skills are just what we need.

If we sign either of these there will be the raised eye brows about their age, but both are exceptional 7's. The only other option for me would be Finch, but the only advantage he would have over Kimmorley or Orford would be his age. As a player, he is not of the same standard imo.

why is most peaple saying orford,i dont watch a lot of aussy games is he a lot better or just younger ,ive seen kimmorly play for aussy and he looks just the little general we need

It`s Orford.

We have plenty of young players it's experience we need in bucket loads which is why Fitzgibbon is a good signing on a 1 year and it's also why we must sign a proven top quality experienced NRL half back and not a junior who [imight[/i make it.

What does Aizue count as ?

Stop it!

Either would simply be a massive improvement on what we currently have but if I was to pick one I would go for Orford as I think he offers a little more but like I say either would be a major step in the right direction.

I guess you're not happy with the signing?

I can see peoples reservations but I'm happy with it. He's in good form atm and is a leader something that we are desperately missing. I watch setanta and couple of wks ago they were questioning his ommision from the origin squad stating that his from now is better than when he was an automatic selection for Aus. I think the club as realised that he's getting older hence the 12 mth deal.

I'm with everybody else on here that we need an half-back but I also believe the club know that too. If the club don't deliver on that for next year then I'll be moaning as much as anybody but I think they will deliver.

Think this needs to go in the rumour section but hoepfully only for now....

Great signing if true and it happens (either one would be a massive improvement on what we've had in years), although we also need 1, preferably 2 big forwards who can add some size, aggression and go forward to our pack. No point having a great scrum half if he's constantly playing behind a beaten pack

You're right about the forwards although Lauaki would be one such player were he ever to arrive.

Agree on all counts. Hopefully Lauaki, should he ever get here, will help address the forwards issue.

Certainly help with our agression.

hopefully will be a scrum half . What do you reckon will be the other one , could it be a full back with doubts over motu or do think horney will stay there ? maybe a centre ? any names who are realistic everyone keeps saying orford,finch but anyone else ?

No chance of getting Brett Kimmorley from what i have heard him say about moving from Aus.

What did he say to you?

Didn't Kimmorley say a couple of years back that him and his wife didn't want to move from the Shire, let alone move to the UK?
