Heard a rumour last night that having knocked the black and whites back he has joined his brother with us, anyone else heard it ?

he failed medical at the dark side didnt turn them down i was told also mentioned on their forum

I was told yesterday he and another player had a medical with an independent doctor. After seeing Mr Pearson's comment in the HDM " I am under pressure every single day to produce funds for this club to keep it going" its possible he thinks he can get better value somewhere else.

Hull pulled out of the deal after a medical. Concerns about a knee injury I believe.

It's one of many player's rumoured to be coming to KR, I'll wait for confirmation on club's website before getting excited.

Hull had him ready to sign but with the new "club hull" mentality now in place signed local lad feka at the last moment.

I guess if you need a reason to pull out of a deal you'll find one

Nice theory. Only spoiled by the fact that Hull were talking to Feka before the Walker deal fell through.

So you've confirmed what I said, cheers

Not really. The intention was to sign them both.

I am just glad we didn't sign the fat Feka

App passed an independent fitness test and rumoured to have signed for us be grt if true and spec if he's like his brother our forwards are shaping up nicely for next season

i wonder what he failed in his fitness test with us? and passed with kr thats if it was true about failing one.

Smoke screen I heard that u dropped interest and enquired about mika who knows and it's very rare a player will ruin his career with a knee injury if that's what it is cos if that's the case paea knee in a bad way app

hes probably too young for us lol

Ha ha ur probably right there

I,ve heard he is a bit salty, but crisp when he has the ball.

@HDMsport: #HullKR have signed Castleford prop Jonathan Walker on a three-year deal. Full story and interview in today's Mail.

Who cares about why FC pulled out of the deal (or vice versa) because IMO Rovers have signed a player with heaps of potential.

IMO he went backwards Under Millward, and when Powell came in he seemed to find the passion and drive again and might have pushed on more if hadn't been for injury.

He's got a decent off load and good feet and likes to knock 'em down, but his fitness levels let him down last season, but from what I have heard he looked in good shape at the fitness test he underwent at Rovers.

I cannot recall the last time Rovers had brothers playing for them? Was it the Netherton's - Jason and Kirk?

Aren't kirk and jason cousins ?

Time to sing my ship is coming in by the walker brothers and when we play hull and win I hope, the sun isn't going to shine anymore by the walker brothers

Good.

'Highly-rated' and 'has attracted the attention of a string of Super League clubs' according to the HDM (in early August). Since then they've come to the view that his 'career has stalled', but still.

If he's anything like his borther he'll be a great signing. Hopefully they'll be like the Hulmes were at Widnes, no one liked playing against those animals.
Adam has got better and better this season. He's dominated his opposites in most games and certainly gave O'Meley a torid time in the derbies.Sandercock does seem to have success in improving props very quickly. Can't think of one who hasn't improved markedly in the past two seasons (maybe O'Hara).

Assuming everyone's favourite bigot is one of the other 4 signings alleged to by the chairman is there any news on who or what positions the others are. We look like we need cover at half. Another prop if ET is going and another back row. Maybe another centre/wing too?

Dave and Des Harrison.

I can see us being rather different in defense next year.
Going on,like for like (E.g forwards and backs)
Out-Dobson, Patterson, Mika, Paea, Beaumont
In-Keating, Costigan, Langley, Weyman, Walker.

Apparently J.Walkers nickname is wacker which I don't think takes a lot of working out.

NH said another 4 still to come

its his trouser dept that references the single ladies of hull best not tire him out
