According to todays Express "Hull have beaten Castleford to the signing of Wakefield's second row Steve Snitch". Can't link to it (might be in the online version can't be d to look) but I'm looking at it in black and white.

My mate told me about this on friday night, his wife is friends with snitch's wife, decent signing if true

Hmm not too sure about this, but then again I didn't want Calderwood in our side

Excellent. We're a bit short of second row forwards.

yeh it is one of those really reliable type of player but no world beater and another second rower! Stiill I guess with this weekend s news we may need one!

with fitzgibbon, radford, tickle, manu, burnett, lauaki, washbrook, whiting and kent all contracted we dont need another one. not to mention a bang average one at that.

Tickles replacement ??

That's what I was wondering.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head Hutchie

Can we do a rovers and claim him as home grown

has he ever been in Hull's academy prior to playing out of town?

surley theres a better player available then snitch.

Under rated player imo. Not sure he brings much more than a player like Radford does though.

On his wages? Who'd be willing to come as a back-up player?

With Tickle rumoured to be leaving and Burnett's future looking unclear we currently have Manu, Fitzgibbon and Radford who are considered second rowers. Don't think he'd be a bad signing.

we haven't made a move for him because we think burnetts leaving. how do you know hes back up? how do you know agar hasn't told him he'll be in the pack with fitz and radders with manu off the bench?

Maybe he will be a regular starter at either prop or 2nd row. I still dont think he is any worse than Radford or Dowes.

so we sign players who wont better the side just who wont improve it? we are 12th aren't we?

Well according to some on here Dowes and Radford would be starters next season and with Snitch coming in too i dont think it weakens us, it gives us cover. All signings cant be stars you know.

dont get me wrong i know the limits of the salary cap and all players cant be stars but where covered in the back row. i'd rather see us sign 1 or 2 utilty backs and push whiting to the back row.

But as we are losing a minimum of one prop forward, doesn't signing one make sense??

Very Very underrated player been one of our best this year.

How do you know he's not back up? It's all hearsay but I'd be suprised to see him start. He's a steady player and as back-up would be a good signing, if he was brought in as a starter though, I agree, it would be worrying.

I'd be happy with Snitch, underrated plaer imo and would be a very useful addition to the squad.

i'll bow to your superior knowledge on the subject.

cant wait to see him in a hull shirt!
