Manu could still stay at HULLFC, improved money offer and 3 year deal on table at FC.

| Wishful thinking. Already on record current deal is a take it or leave it final offer. He signs it or he doesnt, the contract aint gonna change. Difficult as Ellis will be on a bomb, and cap space is obv tight. IMO if he was going to sign it, he already would have done.

I cant decide between either of these senarios, but both are very possible

| Lets hope whoever he signs for the hype is worth it and a long term injury does not ruin it for the final winner of his signiture.

| If we end up signing him, we will be paying loads. I know we have the cap space ATM, but hope he's worth it!

How can one be so confident? We've been here before with several players, only for them to do the dirty on the club and sign somewhere else.

www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... story.html
In the article above he states that (when he said when he signed his last contract at Hull):
'[iI'm very confident I can win a trophy before this deal is up. The 2008 Challenge Cup is the only major final I have played in and I'm desperate to play in another. But I want to win this time. In the next few years, I think I have a chance to do that. If I didn't, I wouldn't have signed.[/i'
Possible motivation for coming to Saints?

I doubt it. We've not won a trophy since 2008 and don't look like doing so any sooner than Hull.

I'd say he has a better chance here than than at Hull - they still have a long way to go yet.
Under Brown we may be competing next season...you never know.
Anyway, at least he'll make a GF with us

He is off quota at the moment (signed prior to 200icon_cool.gif. But with the new rules does he now come back on if he changes clubs?

I'm guessing not as we have no room on the quota...

Nope, the pre 2008 rule was brought in to protect the earnings of players already in SL. The exemption stands until the player retires or leaves SL. I don't know if it would stand if a player goes back to the NRL then returns to Super League but it definitely does for cross SL signings.

If it did, we could just go to the RFL and beg them to change the rules, like Wigan do everytime you are struggling to fit your overseas players under the cap.

Has he?.Nothing offical yet because Hull have given Manu a improved offer, which is a take it or leave it offer.He has a few days to mull over it, so nothing decided on the outcome yet.

You seemed (ironically) to have missed the word 'seems' out of my post

How far is a "long way"?
