Been informed at a meeting last night .. Hull have spoken to some of the players that have been posted ..but the coaches of they team want to keep they best players ..Hull have been talking to other players and waiting replies ..Also Dobson .. was why didn't Hull sign him.. He wanted xyz a house / car that would have put him well over what an international was on..That would have put both Hull/Wigan well over the salary cap ..another thing I learned was IF Hull signed a local Rugby Union player he would be classed has a oversea player

He could probably challenge this in a Court and win .. I ask if Hull would inform the fans of the working of the salary cap ..the speaker at the Meeting Was J Rule ..Please don't shoot the messenger I have just reported what was said at the meeting .. ps Berro and his wife are not pleased with the rumors that going round ..he has had an op on his knee he can run and turn but its when he get up that were the trouble is his knee was giving a way

How long berro out then ?

Why didn't you ask him when you saw him at the kc yesterday



It's time to stop these rumours as i have staed many times

Berro is going nowhere, now lets move on

I think we're going to be disappointed if we think Orford or Kimmorley will come to FC. For starters, as mentioned, players of this calibre, in key positions, with multiple other clubs chasing them, are more likely to get a bigger payday elsewhere where the salary structure is less rigid. Plus the only real place this story has run is in the League Express. Don't want to sound cynical but this sounds more like paper talk or mischief-making to me.when we signed Berro and Crocker there was no hint of it in the press beforehand

Only player I would take from Wakey is Atkins, the rest they can keep. Maybe Drew for the rest of the season bt no longer than that.

As for other targets, Agar has said we are down the road with a couple of players, lets wait and see who they are, 2/3 weeks and we might know.

Or Fitz to be fair, we all know it's not wise to let the press get hold of these things because it enables the bigger clubs to come in and snatch them i.e. Monahan to name but one.....we will know when we need too.

maybe because I didnt chance to speak to him !!

However this is why IMO it's not likely to be Orford - because we keep the big signings quiet.

Lets hope for some positive news in the next two or three weeks then, hopfully a Top Scrumhalf will be signed, but knowing Hull we wills sign a hooker.

Presume they must be aussies as British based players are still subject to anti tampering rules until July aren't they?

Can we even sign 2 more aussies?

Another chance to grab Fien? Yay or Nay?

Only problem reading from his comments he rejected Hudds... due to wanting to stay in NRL cant see the commitment...

I think so yes. Byrne and Crocker are two spaces plus we don't know what is happening with Cusack and Tony.

Didn't Laukai (or whatever) take Byrne's spot?

He is not a quota player I don't think.

I would give Tony until the end of June to prove he is worth another contract.

If he is not injury free for the rest of the season I would get shut, either way he will come under the 'Stanley Gene rule'.

Might not be quota, but even so... correct me if i'm wrong here but he would take matt Sings spot??

[url=http://www.hullfc.com/hullfc/contents/?p=2860He is quota, but is taking Dykes spot[/url

Still take up a decent ammount of the salary cap, dont think we can afford to wait until later in the season to make a decison on him. Our main 2010 recruitement (Overseas) should be completed by the end of July IMO.


So far next season we have:

Berrigan
Fiztgibbon
Manu
Hame

Signed on, so we potiantially have 3 more spots is this correct.

Manu is non-fed isnt he or whatever it is

Yer, forgot bout Dykes. Suppose Crocker came in Sing's place but now Fitzy replaces Crocker........

I have just heard also, that Orford is pretty much done deal...... No winks/links/sources....... just a strong rumour!! Possibly to be announced Friday/Monday!!

Isaiah's post seems to contradict that?

sEE THE BOARDS IN FULL SWING AGAIN THEN.....



Fwiw...i heard the orford rumour again on Sat...it just wont go away.
