EHFC fan knows what I mean I'm to tired to explain

No he doesn't!

Hmm. Couple of weeks ago you said if Rovers were losing quality players and settling for mediocrity they "are 100% on a downward spiral". Now you seem fine with spending only 60% of the cap.

U do just pretend

Without a doubt it's a downward spiral. Hardly an upward trend is it. Who would be happy with spending 60% less. The important factor is having a club to support.

Hull FC are not the only club that have enquired about Taylor's availability.

I'm sure most clubs in Super League will have enquired, He's going to be that good.

Who's his agent?

David Howes

Its called negotation and as with all contract negotations you have to Sit down and work out exactly what you need and want. Secure the needs first and negotiate with the wants (aka the extra stuff you can do without), how much you can afford and how far you’re prepared to compromise on both (afford vs. spend).

The operative word here is compromise and i believe the board will be doing everything within their power to secure the services of players such as Taylor and possibly Cox on long term deals.
It simply would not make sense imo to suddenly start offloading our best local prospects(assets)just for short term gain, especialy when NH has said in the past that the club would need to build around good local players such as the above mentioned .
With regards to clubs paying fees for players, those days are in the past as very few clubs if any have the finances to make such transactions, including Hull Fc, unless of course they want to go down the same road as the Bradford Bulls.

How do you know?

I heard a rumor that Soylent Green is made from the people. The government wouldn't do that to us would they?

Would probably go down nice in a sandwich, it would give a whole new meaning to the slogan we're all in it together.

I've heard today that Gleeson on way to us as Is lopini and Mcdonnell staying for two years

Paterson
Green
Mika
Paea

we cant sign both Lopini and Mcdonnell only allowed 5 arent we?

Must be taking half a non fed spot up each then???

If clinton webbo and galea go can't we

No, we currently have 4 of the 5 non fed places filled as Willowred said

Paea
Green
Mika
Paterson

I'm just passing on what I've been told

and no it's not a neighbour

No, Webster and Galea don't count on non-fed (2008 exemptions), so their leaving doesn't free up a spot.

The chairman has twice written that McDonnell, unfortunately, won't be retained in the programme.

Paea will be playing for Hull

Ok then lopini it is

Indeed it is!

Mariano has been offered a contract by Rovers next year, not sure if to take it though as worried he wouldn't get many games.
