Yes on humberside this morning . Can see hull announcing it when it suits them , or do they need rovers permission first .

Would suspect if would have to suit both parties tbh, may not be announced until after Sept 1st.

I think you are correct



Humberside got in first and have opened up a right can of worms for his remaining time at KR, I bet he gets a rough ride on Friday night. Clearly any player moving between the two Hull clubs is very sensitive even more so now as we have yet to play the final derby match, its not going to help KR at all is it.

Yes but at least our fans are classy enough not to boo them until they have actually gone

...will be interesting to see what happens on Sky

Oh right fair comment.

Look guys, there has been pages of rhetoric since Hunmbersides announcement this morning the facts for me are pretty simple really. Either Mike White got things terribly wrong, which judging by the size of the announcement this morning is pretty unlikely, or the Clubs have got their heads together as the Chairman get on very well together and decided that they deny anything and everything until the season is over. That would suit Rovers who don't want a backlash from the fans against their current full back which could destabalise the team, and it would suit us because the player will not be getting the hassle until the season is over and he can officially join us. I have heard only that he is going back to Aus. but I can't disregard what Mike White said because he has been right before!

Looking at your opening sentence,have you been on the sauce mate?

I'm getting sick of hearing from McRae.

With Watts is it news of the signing for next season or with immediate effect?

If with immediate effect does this mean the club could try and move O'Meley on before the end of the season (Salford perhaps?)

According to the HDM yesterday the signing of Watts is with immediate effect, don`t know anything about O'Meley though.

Deal with Watts was struck on Friday, in the last 24 hrs he has made the odd comment on twitter about a new start etc and wished Rovers luck for the rest of the season so I think it will be an immediate switch.

www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... story.html Bit of a contradiction to the claims when we signed G.Ellis that agents were knocking our door down etc......There are numerous occasions where Bomber has contradicted himself, he needs to shut the feck up and concentrate on not losing any more of our decent players, and signing the quality we have been promised!

I was told a couple of weeks back that Watts would join us within a fortnight, the same source told me that we were attempting to release O'Meley as soon as possible.

He won't play for us again.

Me too. I understand that PG is concentrating on this season and this is Bomber's role but for me his shelf life in that role is about done. We don't know but maybe Gentle like having him there?

Oooooh hissyfit time

Ooooooooh stalker time

We haven't lost anyone. Moa, Manu and Turner are all OOC, they're not ours to lose.


A current international, plus two in the knights so far. Not too bad for half way through the season.

We lost Manu & Turner it was well documented in the media with quotes from the club that we tried to retain those players, especially Manu, retention of quality is as important as signing quality

Kris Welham is in the Knights however I doubt fans would be excited about signing him! on saying that I am not unhappy about the signings of Arundel or Watts however I expect better signings to be made in the future if we are serious about competing.

To lose and to not retain are different things. Retention is important, however by all accounts we did all we could to retain Manu and Turner so it was nothing to do with McRae concentrating on retaining them.

Better signings may still be made. It's June.

That's not entirely right, we may well indeed be being flooded by agents offering us players. It doesn't automatically follow that they are;

A) Any good;
B) In positions we need;
C) Worth the money they are wanting.

It has every-thing to do with McRae he appears to be the one holding negotiations and speaking to the media every week often contradicting himself and generally starting to spout shiite

I agree it is only June and hopefully better signings will be made, however Bomber is starting to imply finding quality is proving difficult after telling us after we signed G.Ellis that agents were knocking the door down...now either agents are no longer knocking or door down or we are only investing in an average wage player (Barring G.Ellis), I hope my theories are wrong but like I say Bomber should keep it shut and let his actions speak louder than his words presently are.
