Think your just about clinging onto that victory from 32 years ago. The more important thing is who is far more likely to return to wembley any time soon?

Clue - they wear black and white

cant see widnes making it anytime soon

@HDMsport: #HullFC send scrum-half Brett Seymour for an operation to resolve a long-standing knee injury which hampered him last season.

Given up the search and accepting what we've got? Why wait till now to operate?

Because we were hoping to get rid, I would imagine?

Keeping Seymour ?

After the disgraceful way in which AP treated him , if i was Seymour id sit in the stands for two years and steal my cash.

Maybe he wants to play rugby?
Maybe he has plenty of self-pride and wants to prove AP and the doubters wrong?

I was told that his knee problem was chronic and couldn't be repaired with an op. but let's hope it can, because I believe a fully fit Seymour is a very good player

I just fear it's as likely as a fully fit Dykes, hope I am wrong.

I know we've got cash spare which we had planned to use on Prince. But what makes people think it's £200k? Could be more could be less.

Nobody really knows (well, nobody on here anyway), the perception given was that we were going for the best, which implies we'd be shopping at Waitrose, so far we've got as far as Tesco's Finest.

Or it could be the usual season pass selling bluff and bluster.

outselling you by 3 - 1 easily

in fact, the only thing you've sold more of is players

jog on

How dare you mention the selling of players ! HKR is not a selling club !

Would have imagined signing Prince would have involved paying Seymour off (in 2013 cap without playing a game, hence not on cap). As we now seem to be keeping Seymour i'd imagine the only cap space left is the difference between what Brett gets and what Prince would have got, which knowing the old board probably wouldn't be that much.

Haven't we been wanting to get rid for weeks??

Will there be cap space for McGoldrick ?

Point validated.



Thanks.

According to some, who knows, I would imagine if we'd really not wanted to keep him he'd have gone, regardless of recruitment.

We'll see how he and Holdsworth go next season, Gentle may have some cunning plan to play Heremia in the halves with Holdsworth and Seymour elsewhere, we've enough average players to compete, I just don't think we'll excell, but Rome wasn't built in a day, as the cliché goes.

Heremia and Danny be hooking this yr. Think gentle said so somewhere, can't remember where. Rightly so as well. Best hooking interchange in the league. Holdsworth and Seymour if he finds his best form isn't bad by any stretch. Just need Seymour to find his best. But better equipped to do so. 2 good hookers a fullback that links a 13 with some nous and a pretty decent looking and offloading pack to play off

Whilst it looks like we've missed out on the two targets for 2013, I still think we're looking at a much stronger HB partnership for next season. I'm hopeful that less reliance on Seymour as the go to man will bring a different game out of him. I know that the situation is far from where a lot would like to see it, but let's give him a chance to see what he can do.

I'm optimistic about next season even if we don't bring a "recognised" scrum half in.

At last a massively sensible post on the subject well said


Seymore has a knee injury he picked up in pre season aparently last year and was jabbed up all year due to this reoccurence of an old injury, he hardly trained and was on ice i am led to believe after almost all matches, its not chronic , not career ending just needs work , all the sensationalism on the injury has come from wild fantasys on this board...
he has now had this addressed and will play hopefully a full part in the coming campaign
No he isnt the Scott Prince messiah we all hoped for but he is also a darned sight better player than he showed last year and thats all because of the knee injury and not because he is junk, look back on u toob at some of his pre FC stuff , the lad is talented and should get full support from all ...
AND lets add he is definately the best defensive half in SL IMO so add that to a fitter Seymore , with a fitter knee and we should see alongside Holdsworth tons of go forward and a lot more savvy with ball in hand and i think he will prove many of us wrong in a big way ....
