Be careful what you post regarding Rule.

People can stop working themselves into a frenzy now, no big name signing is coming.

Hmm sees us light Uv the backrow then. If we get any injuries were screwed.

We have lost more forwards than we have gained....If our forwards get injured we are fecked.....all seems a bit weird to me and how the hell we are near the salary cap is beyond me!!

There may still e additions, just not big name additions!

Pitts?

The youngsters win be getting games I reckon.

Think we're now 1 prop light, unless the plan is Whiting to play in the back row, which would allow Tickle to have stints at prop again.

No replacement for Fitz which concerns me though.

I don't know where this Pitts stuff has come from. But I think another SL forward and bring the young forwards through. We have plenty of them who have been on the cusp of breaking it into the first team for a couple of seasons now, this is a perfect chance for them to stamp their mark.

Spot on Tom , I reckon another forward is needed but not Pitts rather use our youngsters

If a decent forward isn't available, I'd go with what we have rather than panic sign like we have in the past and think we have done with signing Tony Martin, and look to make a mid season signing, every year a few good players become available during the season.

Actual quotes
“Most of the recruitment was done when I got into this position and most of the money in the cap was spent,” McRae told the Mail.
=#4000BFWe have released radders and looking at getting rid of obst - (most of the money could mean %10 left as we were under cap as well) We keep hearing people saying we dont want our expectations built up etc. so this is what he is doing.imo

“The real quality players go early, that is just the nature of the beast, particularly with overseas players.” Again not building expectations and he is right they are.
“There is money being spent in certain areas absolutely, but the salary cap does exist and we work under certain guidelines. It is not a bottomless pit.=#4000BFJust general speak, no point in telling the world we have £100k's to play with.

“There is a little bit of room left, but it is not a lot for a champion player. I’m not sure that champion player is out there anyway.”=#4000BFSo we have room currently then if Obst leaves it gives us more space and we are drawing blanks at this point in time for big names as there's nobody that will to come over at this moment.In that Bracket
I still thing 2 signings will come in unless the kids are ready which would say even more about the last guy not using them.

Maybe we have whiting and turner ear marked for back row competition, didn't Turner say he saw himself as a loose forward when he signed?

I think so too. As I say, just because we can't sign a 'champion' doesn't mean to say they won't be a good player. We need the right players, not has been's or never will be's. Having no player is better then having a e one.

like ive said on the martin thread dont be suprised to see a aussie winger come in and a english forward. for me we still need a winger, backrow and a prop but can see only 2 more signings come in at the most

No speculation on Rule please until a statement from the club. If there is one.
Otherwise. Instant ban's will occur. This is your warning which is fully supported by the Admin.

JJB leading the Leeds "haka" tonight after they won. Just saying, like. Might be his farewell.

Just saying like, but any previous Hull player capable of doing the Haka, has done the club proud!

Pitts was rumoured,and mentioned to me around 3 weeks ago.Also got a text regarding an approach for Broughton last week.

[/size
hopefully true and comes off

Initial approach was rebuffed,but surely we would go back?

you would think so hopefully anyway, id be quite happy with broughton on the right with martin in the centres for a year then sign a top centre for 2013

Broughton would be a useful upgrade !

Was surprised when we let him go, has now matured into a top class finisher with good pace.

Defensively OK and good pace.

Bomber links make this sound a realistic and achievable bit of business. If true confirms what most of us think, Will Sharp ain't up to it.

Must be at least one solid forward to come in surely. Lost 5 regular starters from this years pack and only brought in 2 ( can't count the hooker ) - I liked the Wigan second rower rumour due to their embarassment of riches - all gone quiet ?

Keep the faith, MOST of our wishes have come true already.

Broughton ffs!



Yeah hes really gonna lift us to the next level. Would rather stick with Sharp

Thank you Seb!!!!! i thought i was going mad and questioning my own judgement of him... no better than sharp IMO too

Broughton?!? No ta.

Better than Sharp.
