mcrae?

Shes having a good rant about a club (not hard to guess which one haha) finding players other clubs without telling that player or his agent . And calling the club from a pig to a dog

I really don't understand the whole animosity towards McRae. He's just doing his job the media. We love a scapegoat.

Oh I see i'll have a gander and see if ive missed any juicy rumour gossip haha

O'Meley

Both. Can take Manu & Turner with them as well.

So what's McRae done to upset people on here then?

'Upsetting the camp' and being in the media too much, apparently.

Got nothing against Bomber personally, just don't like the director of rugby/operations role.
I don't see a need for him anymore, especially as Pearson is now unemployed and I don't buy the contacts reason either, I'm sure Gentle has enough and I'm sure Pearson isn't as wet behind the ears as some think when it comes to RL.

I want to hear our coach discuss the playing squad, not a track suit director.

I'm sure the players and coaching staff have found something to upset them, blame somebody else when your under performing, so much easier that way.

Hull Daily Mail say Hull are confident of Lopini Paea signing.

Hope so. He's deffo better than moa, watts is better than o'carroll, so just need a better prop than o'meley and we're sorted in the front row

Would be a great signing, exactly the kind of player we need.

All we would then need is either Moa to stay, or sign another big forward and the pack is complete.

I'd agree with you there, It will be hard to replace O'Meley of his first two years form.


Cross-city rivals Hull KR are also believed to have spoken to Paea, but Hull's offer, =#FF0000combined with an opportunity to play alongside Gareth Ellis, have helped swing the deal in FC's favour.

Some potentially positive news at last. Exactly what we need.

Be a great signing, also in advanced talks with Lovegrove also.

Props could be

Lynch
Lovegrove
Watts
Paea
Bowden

Could maybe do with one more.

I don't know why we'd bother with Lovegrove tbh, he's a far better 13 than prop.

Fingers crossed on Paea signing exactly what we need.

Lovegrove wears 13 but plays at prop, just from the back of the scrum.

I would be happy with that but wouldn't mind Elima if possible. Just adds that bit of steel.

He's plays the modern day 13, which is his best position.

He has a big engine but lacks the true impact in the tackle that top props have.

I thought we had an NRL prop nailed on

Is Pitts not very good? He has looked pretty promising in the (admittedly not many) Hull games I've seen on televison. Maybe more of a modern 13 than a prop? I'd say that is true also not only of Lovegrove but maybe also of Watts. Mind, Gentle is keen on mobility by all accounts.
Lopini Paea would definitely make things look rosier for you.

Because of rumours?
