Clint Newton wouldn't be released with a year left on his contract, therefore, wouldn't be a KR reject so much as an FC acquisition.

It all depends on who is to be our Coach next season, I think that Sharp for all the problems he's had so far, can if coached be a decent winger for us. He started off well but lost confidence and has then been dropped. Look at Colin Best when he first came to us he was a bit like Sharp in way but McRae handled him in the right way, gave him confidence and he was one of the best wingers we've had for years, plus the team played using its wingers then

.
There is very little home grown talent available which is a sad state for the game here and the reason why we fail year on year at International Level.

I would like to see a quality coach come in and see them improve the players we already have first.

So you think we should play our main utility player/centre there again next year?

No, I'd suggest we get a coach to work with and improve the wingers we already have contracted for next season

Wouldn't want him either.. Overrated and i just don't like him!! Not gonna win major honours with him either!!

Not had the most successful of careers now, has he??

looks like we'll win loads with sharp and lynne, not to forget whiting.....

newton would never come to Hull. Got far too used to being the big fish in the small pond

Fox is gash, why the hell would we want him.

Beats me.

Does he??

OK I'll get my coat, TAXI

Because he is better than Reece Lynne and, in the minds of people who say he is rubbish, better than Sharp too? For me if we could afford it I would have Briscoe and Sharp starting but Fox as backup if it would mean we wouldnt end up playing a centre or utility player for half the season on the wing.

I'd take a punt on him if the price was right. I believe he's had a few personal issues earlier this year which if true could have been a factor in his drop in form.

Oh good. Our recent history of signing outside backs with personal issues is quite without incident.

unless someone matches his wages,which looks unlikely taken his dip in form after international recognition and the contract upgrades that will have come with it, i can see him sitting on his contract for it's duration,much the same as Morgan will.

From what I was told they weren't of his own making and the sooner he gets away from rovers the better as he's been let down badly.

Didn't mention them did I??



Just my point about Newton, he has no real recognised acheivements and has not been that great IMO..

what about winning the NRL grand final? or doesnt that count???

He's an NRL winner ffs!

Slipping in the word recognised doesn't take away the fact that he's won the NRL before, regardless of it being stripped from the records (on a sidenote, according to S. Briscoe, Newton has tattoos with the dates that Storm won the league leading to him having this p1ss ripped out of him when those titles were stripped).

Surely that's precisely what it does? If it was stripped it was stripped.

I'm not sure we will sign anyone else yet especially with the uncertain future of Agar

Did he get his ring stripped?

I've no idea and couldn't care less.

Unless you think that Ben Johnson is still an Olympic gold medallist, Dwayne Chambers and the relay team still are still 2003 World Championship Silver medal winners, Mille won the European Cup in 1993 and Juventus are still 2005 & 2006 Serie A Champions?

Was always strange that the NRL stripped the clubs of their titles but not the players.

Right way to do it IMO, don't think it can justifiably be considered the players' fault so shouldn't be held against them.
