hasn't hudgell already said early annoucements of next years recruitment is selling the fans short?

If it does get annouced I wouldn't want Hall to play for hull fc again.

What he said last year (after we'd announced O'Meley and Fitz mid season) in his derby programme notes was:
Knowledgeable fans are not fooled nor should they be by promises of big names around the corner.This competition should be about here and now and not next season.Anything less is selling those supporters short in my view'.

Depends on whether Craig Hall is classed as a "big name" I suppose.

So you think Rovers will announce the signing of a contracted player before the Aug 31st deadline despite his current club still being in talks with him???

depends wether hull fc gave him permission to speak to other clubs.

I agree.

But Agar was on the radio the other day saying he was ready to open talks with him about a new deal, so it seems unlikely that they've allowed him to speak to other clubs just yet.

With Webster signing for Rovers this week, Hall movign to rovers would seem a bit pointless IMO.

Got to agree with you there. Send him out on loan if thats the case. Not that i want us to resign him anyway.

Possibly we could wait to see if he actually signs for Rovers before organising the lynching party?

It'd be an odd one for us to sign him now we've re-signed Webster. He'd be in exactly the same position as he is with you as a reserve back in case of injuries (along with ratu and Cockayne). Wouldn't mind him if thats what he came in as (and his wage reflected this) but wouldn;t have thought it would be good for Craig.

no lynch party from me kosh, I have no problem with any player seeing out his contract and moving to another club.

My problem would be knowing that he's signed for hkr fans would get on his back and let's face it he's a confidence player.

Another one in the know, you will see.

I'd wish him well. Of the players that have gone to Rovers - Wheeldon, Briscoe, Hodgson - no issue with any of them (other than we shouldn't have let Briscoe go

). Only really Cooke that caused bad feeling IMO.

Hull Daily Mail now linking Hall to Rovers

good luck to him, he can be one of the many players to cross the river in recent times to go on and secure MOS and International honour.....oh, hang on.

Personally, when chosing a new employer, I look into their solvency and longevity.

most fans dont seem too botherd about his leaving (if true) no great loss

Well, quite.



Won't be quaking in my boots when he returns to face us.

He obviously knows more than you do then

i do know he told me himself just a few days ago!!

ah yes that on the button factual read,,how would we do without it??

I bet he'd have told you almost anything to stop you from going through his bins.

not since i got caught last time

I once had a restraining order from Greg Mackay.

i havn't gone that far yet!!

I didn't go far enough, that was the problem.

Someone to target defensively
