As I say, I really hope it does come off. All hearsay until its officially announced.

Rumour mongering on a rumours thread, that would never do!!

The thing is, I wish I could say more! A very exciting signing. Just hope this hurries along now so I'm not made to look like a rumour mongerer for too long!!

hmmmm, heard the same, sammut to be announced late next week, or early the following. Not sure how theyve reached a compromise or why its not been pushed quicker now- the more training the better.

cas chairman talking as well, hull HAVE enquired about chase.

I've just been told that Hull expect to announce Sammut as early as tomorrow. Took it with a pinch of salt though because the same bloke told me that Brian Noble was coming to Hull in a consultancy capacity. Think we have heard that one before.

this always winds me up, 'i wish i could say more', why cant you? you think a few posts on here are gunna scupper the deal?


If you really know anything post it, or PM us,

I heard we enquired about Chase too, but never really thought it would come off. Hope it's right about Sammut.

No they have'nt

Take it easy fella! Just be patient, all will come to light!

yeah right, as suspected, u know nothing.

Bless you.

We'll see

Another constructive comment.

We've been hearing the same thing for about a month. Don't believe it.

one minute on here our halves are useless crocks then we state we should chase a man with more injuries than longy

It's a good job that we have rumours threads, otherwise people like you who know $hite all would have nowhere to post your $hite all.

and the wrong kind of halfback. If we signed Eastmond we'd need to sign an organiser to play next to him.

To be honest, all of this is getting quite boring now. Craig Murdock said on Sports Talk last night that we don't necessarily need halfback cover because if Long and Horne are fit we have 'one of the best halfback pairings in Super League'. I have a lot of time for Criag but don't quite agree with him on that. Fair enough, Long and Horne could play 27 games each next season but can anoyone honestly see that happening? Also, we don't really have a fullback if Rich has decided that Tansey is no longer the man. Yes, people keep saying that Rich Whiting can play there, and yes he can. However, he's not a specialist fullback and that's where it all falls down. If Rich didn't think Tansey was going to be his automatic choice for this season then maybe he should have signed Richie Mathers. He's a fullback who plays at fullback and doesn't fill in anywhere else. Take a look at the top three or four teams and they have specialist fullbacks, not just people 'who can play there'.

And its constructive to come on here spouting $hite reckoning u know this and you know that, but then cant back it up??

Correctomuno!!! good player but destined to stay at Saints or Union I am afraid but Saints will come up with the dough to keep him im sure..
To be honest its my opinion he is a flash in the pan player to be honest ,above average with bursts of brilliance and as with Rob Burrow now most teams have got their measure and know how to deal with them just my opinion though but certainly not what we need at present dave your dead right..

correct , the problem was Castleford wanted a cash sum equal to Westermans fee and as such talks faltered!! problem is all Rugby league knows we are a cash rich club and so the games are played when it come to wanting other teams rosta

Do you mean like Sam Tomkins at champions Wigan?



There does seem to be quite a few fullbacks who play 6 as well nowadays.

Except Rob Burrow has 3 grand final winners medals, it took a long time to get the measure of him.

Yes he does thats correct plus much more stuff in his cabinet too but i personally (note i said I) think most of that is down to being in a champion side!!
Dont get me wrong he is a good player but i think he is measured now by most teams.... anyway we wont get Eastmond or Burrow and wouldnt want them
