I can feel a mid-season photoshop contest coming on.

Any news on Sa, it seems to have gone quiet on this one

Maybe awaiting a Visa.

I wouldn't be too concerned about it going quiet. When the club said the Biggs deal was off they said they were hoping to have something to announce within the next two weeks. We're not quite at that point yet. FC will be waiting until everything is finalised before announcing it. As Dave K says, it's probably visa clearance that we're waiting on.

Hull Daily Mail said it would probably be the end of the RU season in mid May before we saw him at Hull.

In response to a question about whether there's any news on Sa:

@James_Smailes: @GreavesShane it's happening, will just take time. Expect it to be done before next game

Smailes has a great record on this sort of stuff too.

Rumour on Twitter this morning is a swap deal Arundel for Richard Owen.

Would be a good deal for us that.

I'll show my aris in Hammonds window if that happens.

I'm told it's getting quite complicated with making Sa happen. Hope they don't blow it.

I'm a bit confused as to whether his wages will be off cap or not? as he's a Union player, but unlike Briggs he's played League before.

You mean Richard Owen who wanted to fight us all a couple of years ago



Don't mind him as a player actually.

But I really don't understand fans low opinion of Arundel.

Needs a change of luck with injuries and a good run in the side and i think he will become a decent centre.

Deserves a chance in his proper position to prove what he can do.

I think it's something to do with having played international RU I don't believe registering is the problem I believe the problem is at Hulls end and getting everthing to fall into place.

Problem is we have loads of decent players and that's why we finish 6th or lower, we need something more, in Crooks and Sa I believe you get that.

I'd go along with that but I can't see it happening especially if Sa comes off.

Owen could cover full back line but mostly wing. By end of year arundel and crookes will be off cap and Owen will probably be only taking up less than half of their monies! Good deal.
Sa should be in team for Wakefield game

Would be excellent, but just can't see it happening. Hope the Sa deal comes off, sounding less certain now.

sa deal must hinge on the salary cap?

It hinges on paying off McDonnell . He is not a happy chappy by all accounts .

sa deal done and dusted, actually its not just thought id pretend to be in the know, if anybody has a sniff to how its going it would be smailes so thats who am listening to, he seems to think it could happen, so hopefully it might, till then nobody knows,

So what your saying is we should all wait with bated breath until the all knowing James Smailes tells us "it is so" I'll listen too whoever I like thanks and post accordingly that I deem to have substance. As I'm sure and hope quite a few on here will do the same. If not where would Smailes get all his leads.

Both Owen & Sa will be here before the Wakey game.

Two good signings and will improve our team and squad, back line is looking good now with some depth.

Shaul
Lineham
Sa/Yeaman
crooks
Talanoa/Owen

We must be paying a fee for Owen if he's coming our way?

10 tries in only 5 appearances for Cas this year the last one against Warrington on Monday.

Think he is 4th choice winger when all fit.

Decent strike rate but good to know we are going for Cas's 4th choice winger.
Anybody would think we are a big club.
