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.

Pearson said of the one or two possible additions to come that one is an exceptionally fast back.
Naughton has been mentioned, anyone know if he is exceptionaly fast?

I haven't found any reference to Crooks signing a contract beyond 2015.

[url=http://www.hullfc.com/article/21942/hull-starlet-crooks-pledges-future-to-the-club-This[/url is all I can find.

(Same scenario with Pitts, who appeared only to be contracted until the end of 2014.)

Lightning, will put real pressure on Shaul at FB.

no taylor again for wigan tonight, is he injured or just dropped for wanting away?

Radford says we are looking to the NRL for another Setaimata Sa type player who can play centre or second row. This would seem to point to Timana Tahu.

I think you're right.

Let's hope he doesn't spend as much time injured as Sa does.

Based on that, it could be Aaron Aaronson

T was only on a part time contract at Newcastle this year and up till the last month or so he was only training with the part time squad.

Basically he went into fulltime training with the firstgrade squad when he decided to try for an ESL contract, and he quickly got up to firstgrade standard - not that he was far off firstgrade standard before, because he is a fitness fanatic and a great natural athlete.
