I wouldn't be happy with Tahu. Apart from his age he has had serious attitude problems and fall outs in the past. Of course he could be a reformed character, Willie Mason is apparently a model pro now so anything is possible, but is it really worth the risk?

Heard the same pal

Wouldn't have said an outside back or 2nd row is a priority for us

On the other hand I am. Just opening a pie and chips shop opposite the KC.

IF Crooks returns to UK,& his FC contract expired.

Hull have his registration,but can they demand a fee,if he's a free agent?

Hope so, but don't think he will, if you don't have support runners when he.s on the pitch, something seriously wrong, he'd be good in super league

See why you called him Big, hope it's true we would be looing at a very big pack with him added also.

I don't think so. Bosman ruling covers that I think.

I hope it doesn't come to that though and that he goes well in Australia or becomes a great player for us.

I would rather we signed Rose than Tahu.

At 31 he's not a bad age for a prop and we certainly need a prop more than another outside back or second row. There have been times this year when our forwards have struggled to make metres down the middle.

However, didn't the rumour Wilf referred to say we were signing an ex-international outside bacK?

maybe he was talking about Rose's sweet stash which he keeps out back?

We will get fee because he's come through the academy and a fee will be paid.

Does that still apply if he's over 23? I'll check...



Seems like no fee.

Thought he's got a contract with us for 2015 and 2016

He'll be in Aus (on a loan deal?) for 2015.

so if he comes back to The Kingdom of England, Wales and Nothern Ireland in 2016 and doesnt want to play for us then he's still ours, to sell

Lancaster to wire

Like AP said we wont be held to ransom or pay a lot more to one U19's and upset all the others.

Yep. But not after.

Among a lot of players leaving the NRL, and not going to Superleague ( Footy Show tribute ) were Kevin Kingston, Ben T'eo , Jeff King, Luke Bailey and Anthony Minichello. Not sure if they are completely retiring or maybe going to other NRL clubs. Any of these our possible new signing?

Smailes has tweeted Crooks has signed a TWO year deal at Parra.-not one.

Anthony Minichello could easily do a year in super league, still been class this season, but hes retiring I belief

Harris, Leeds and Bulls springs to mind

and Ben T'eo is going to Union, pretty sure it was one of the Irish teams he was joining.

The K for short. After we get rid of the monarchy it'll just be called The.

Burns to St Helens for £100k, so Rovers should now be just about able buy Jacob Miller.

Thats also what I was told.
Ben Crooks will not play for Hull fc again.
