Anyone signed Sherwin yet?

Stand down on the signing rumours.
Judas signed by HDM as a reporter!

Sam Obst is quality, he would add alot to Hull imo.

nope heard he retired very injury prone anyway

I mentioned last week that the Sammut thing was virtually dead, they want to much and quite rightly we said no. Unless they change their mind it won't happen.

All gone quiet now, heard a few bits and pieces but nothing much.

always caused us trouble when played against us, but typical of most fc fans, he plays for wakefield so will not be seen as a good signing, would be useful as a back up hooker or half

Would provide useful cover at 7/9, would be a useful signing but can't see it.

if wakey do go into admin, doesn't players contracts become null and void like football?

Read into it as much as you like but Sammut was kissing the badge when he scored the other day.

All their players were released from their contracts about 10 years ago that season they overspent on their squad but I can't remember if was because they went into admin or the players didn't get paid for so many weeks.
Obst would do a good job for us imo.

I've always thought that Obst looked decent whenever I've watched us playing Wakey.

craig murdock quits radio humberside to sign one year deal

Ha ha Tom. Think me and Kirbs just expect more from the club. A club of our size should be seriously challenging every year. I was pleased with the improvements we made last year, however I fear this season without that "bit of luck" we will be going back again and then its going to be another big turnover of players in 2012.

Never over till the fat lady sings



Have faith paul

I expect the highest of things from our club, but I am confident with the team we have and a clean bill of health we can challenge the top 4 and have a good run in the cup. We improved last season and all been well we'll do the same again this season, if not better. I agree that we're still in need of sound cover for halves/hooker, but I'm still hopeful we will make a signing before the season is here. We have some great young talent along with experienced heads in the team, a strong pack but granted we could do with some more depth in the backs. Only one way to find out mate, and I for one can't wait for the season to start!

Tommy Lee?

if wakey go into administration,players contracts are still valid,until their pay stops.if the players,fail to receive their monthly salaries,then i think they are entitled to and free to sign for another club.(i am basing this on a mate who use to play football for Dundee fc,who went into admin,and then subsequently failed to pay the players,and he moved on for free)

cheers, usually the backroom staff get the boot first, then they try to get the best deal for their players to pay creditors

I've been told that the players have been assured that they are ok pay wise for the rest of the year.

Agree with most mate, however I just wonder how we will cope when we get injuries, which are part and parcel of the modern game and not a valid excuse for failure. That why rugby is a squad game and squad is not strong enough. We have a very strong 17 and im sure we will challenge anyone when all players are fit, but a couple of injuries and then were screwed. Its not ideal bring the young lads into a team ravaged with injuries. They need to be introduced when the time is right. I think this year we will be a solid top 8 team and with the luck of the draw have a deacent cup run, which for some is fine, but as Westerman said on radio yesterday " a club like Hull should be winning a trophy every year", and I agree or at least making the semi finals in each comp.

I think we will be a far better team then top 8, top 6 at least, pushing for top 4 IMO. Hopefully with another signing in, and Turner, Lyne, Dowes, Nicko and the other young lads it will be enough. I'm hopeful of a better year then a lot of people think.

Since their salaries will add up to more than the amount owing to HMRC that apparently can't be paid, I'm not sure how any such promise could be honoured. Or believed.

Be very disapointted with Obst.

Just read the sky sports article on Wakey and it seems they really are in the baba being down on forwards and cash generated.
Not the half we need but Blaymire and Murphy would look good in the black and white.

Think I would rather have Blaymire than Murphy.
