an we. A Pedant.

I am waiting for you to prove your bold statement, that he is going to Hull for love rather than money. If you can prove it, then please do so. Otherwise I will continue to disagree with you.

Mind you I suppose there has been precedents set, Leeds' players all play for love and Warrington's get paid hardly anything, so its not impossible.

League express says bulls are angry as Seymour had already agreed the contract and to sign lol

maybe a bit of karma for way we allegedly treated chris walker last year?. dont see how we can be too angry as we shouldnt have let the news out until it was signed and sealed. first real PR mistake weve made under bennett imo.

Can't really fault Andrew for this.

Ask yourself this Matt, would you really want another player taking up a large slice of the salary cap?

thats not the point mick. we shouldnt have allowed the story to go out until contracts were signed. as it is we look daft and have potentially blown any chance of getting pryce back as well.

Kearney's on 160k?

Three Burgess's in the NRL - one more to go, cant be that long till he wants to join the boys im guessing!

Why when he's getting regular first team rugby here and would be behind all 3 over there?

I'm sorry, I don't intend to be rude when I say this but that's nonsense. Having worked extensively in papers myself I have a good understanding how these things work and that story last week will not have been the club's doing in any way, shape or form.

Connor obviously got strong information from other sources (maybe agents, maybe players, maybe officials) that Seymour was being chased and that Pryce was looking likely to sign for Catalan. Therefore he will have made every attempt to verify that information and put it out to exhibit he knows what is going on. It's common journalistic practice and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Hood's quote in the Seymour piece obviously suggests Connor approached him telling him he was intending on running the story. The non-committal nature of Hood's quote suggests he was keen to keep things under wraps as much as possible. It was a speculative story that turned out to be true - these things happen.

Plus, Mick's right, Andrew Bennett will have had nothing to do with this story. Duffy and Hood will be almost exclusively responsible for the dissemination of this kind of news.

Seymour is greeeaaaat. Lets all cry in our cornflakes.

Crudely put but not altogether off the mark. Seymour is not exactly an outstanding player.

The only worry is the lack of quality halves available at the current moment. Seymour wouldn't necessarily have been my choice to fill the playmaking void but he may have been the best option available to Super League clubs looking to recruit.

I never said that.

I don't know why the story came out when as you say the contract wasn't signed.

As I said to Connor on Sunday it must really smack in the face of Marc Herbert.
