what position are they playing pearce in at the moment is it at centre or second row?

Discounted ink?

Why do you think? I'll give you 3 guesses

Back row everytime I've seen him. He's nowhere near fit enough for the centre's, but full time may change that. Last time I saw him he went the length and out did Amos Roberts in the process!!! Spent the next 10 minutes cathing his breath, mind.

If Raynor wasn't such a twonk then I'd have him back. Still think he could offer us something, and has given the club good performances over the years. Wouldn't it technically be a testimonial year for him as well since he'd been with us for 9 years? (Or 8.5 if you take the half a season in union off).

really? sharp isnt good enough id rather have whiting on the wing everytime but we clearly need better if we want success

With a new coach and a quality right centre seeming likely I'm happy to give Sharp my full backing for the wing again.

Agreed. A twonk + poor injury record = no-go. But he was a very good player and still shows glimpses of that.

Wing isn't a priority, but it does need strengthening. Sharp hasn't produced the goods yet and was replaced by a stop-gap in Whiting. If we can pick someone up (British) that is any good, I'd take them and offload Sharp if possible. If we can't, stick with Sharp. It's not our biggest concern, but it is still a concern.

None of the Briscoe's are going anywhere.

Somebody has just text mentioning Gareth Ellis. Can't see that at all.

Not only has Sharp only had 2 starts with a top class centre alongside him, the most consecutive starts he's had with the same centre is 4. There's no wonder his positional play has been a bit iffy. I personally find the calls of him not being good enough already ridiculous (and to then top it off with the suggestion to replace him with a known d***head who caused us hassle before and will be 34 before the start of next season is bordering on madness).

I`ve been told that the right side has been "tweaked".
The if circumstances permit is a backrower.

Still twonk it will be Lynch, nrl centre and then hopefully a backrower.

Tut. First brought this to you back in May

[iIn sport tomorrow, Andy Lynch on why he's moved to #HullFC from #Bradford & what it cost to bring him to the #KC. #superleague[/i

everydays an adventure at present!

Have I missed the announcement?

Not yet.



Good article by Smailes of the Mail today on the shape of things to come and how FC couldn't afford not to change.

Beat me to it!

I'm guessing the official announcement will be tomorrow, then. However the Hull FC Official facebook page gave it away yesterday, 'Which of our new signings are the best for next year?: Heremaia, Seymour, Lynch...'

Welcome Andy!

The worst day of my life. Amos Roberts. At Brantingham. On a pitch where you can reach out from the stands and touch him as he runs past (be it in Pearce's slipstream or not). You can feel the heat and the sweat wafting from the changing rooms ffs.

And I was at [iwork[/i!

On the Bradford Board someone lamenting his departure has posted the average stats for the seven seasons that Andy Lynch has played for them.

Every year that Andy Lynch played for the Bulls he made on average:-

Appearances: 26
Meters: 3075
Carries: 440
Tackles: 635
Offloads: 54
Tackle Busts: 41
Clean Breaks: 4
Missed Tackles: 23
Errors: 15
Penalties: 13

I texted something similar into RH on Sunday after Gwilym Lloyd expressed his reservations about Lynch as a signing. Didn't go down well.

I'll send it again tomorrow!

Yup.

And some on our forum are happy he's going.

You couldn't make it up.



I've kept my own counsel on what I have been told, but suffice it to say my concern is that it was less a "I want to move to Hull" and more a "I wanted to stay at Bradford but...".

Good luck Andy.

You guys, at least, seem to fully realise what we have lost. Doubtless he came over to the KC in Big Yellow Taxi.
