I've not been his biggest fan while he's been here but another 1 year deal isn't so bad IMO. Replacing Horne at No.6 is much more of a priority for me.

Unless long plays in pretty much every game between now and the end of the season (assuming he's back in the next game or two) then it's a complete waste of money to give him another contract. What's the longest run of games he's played for us? 3 or 4 at a guess

Im a fan of Longy but hes no good sat on the touchline injured for over half the season....i would say 7 is more a priority.

Ideally I'd like us to replace both but it's not going to happen in 1 closed season and horne is the one who is managing to get on the field currently

Horne OUT top class SO IN

Dowes OUT big prop IN

Lauaki OUT strong running SR IN

Washbrook OUT spare cash to help the recruitment above.


4 OUT and 3 IN Should just about give us a squad that is capable of competing at the very top of SL as long as Agar is up to the job

aye,it's me again !



just trolling around as usual

thought your lads have done well lately (despite RA !) playing some nice stuff,seems strange that the Catalans shock defeat was the catalyst for the revival ?

wonder what has changed in the FC camp since that dark day ?



could it be the addition of Gleeson which has jivvied the rest into action ?

I agree,dont expect Horne to leave.

Agreed. In an ideal world, we would replace both of them but that's clearly not realistic in one close season.

I would favour, injuries permitting, keeping Long because on his day he has more to offer and will probably bring out the very best of Gleeson.

It was the [iboycott[/i and [ipetition[/i that done it.

Horne could be encouraged to retire and take up an off-the-field role at the club?

I think by now we can all see that unfortunately Longy cant string a decent run of games together due to injuries,which is ashame because he still is a quality player when on the field...

Unfortunately true.

No, tom briscoe has been sprint training

nah,that's kids stuff wz !!!

try a bit of sheep burning and blockading the ports if you really want to get things changed !

We could do with some quality players being linked with us for next season though.

A rumour thread is not much use without any rumours!




Where are the Brother and Wolfie with there little pre-announcement snippets of info?

do you reckon he could catch the 37 year old now then ?

The brother has a court order stopping him even mentioning the words Hull and FC in the same sentence

Not if he gives him a 30 metre start again

You see how proactive he is Jake?

Your an amateur in comparison.

Those bloody super injunctions eh !

The Brother had some inside info that JR slept with a rent-boy on his recent Irish trip.
[size=50He told me not to say out though.[/size

He should have kept his distance from Imogen Thomas,the he may have been allowed to play on here
