Yes. But different from prediction.

Not necessarily.

Any individual can speculate but it remains speculation until it is taken up by others who then pass it on as a truth. When this 'truth' is passed around it then becomes a rumour.

Oh,

Your not the only one that knows John and Im telling you he has signed a 3yr deal with Hull FC regardless of what happens to the Bulls. Did John actually tell you himself what his future holds?

Wasn't it reported that it was only the out of contract players that are eligible to discuss their futures with other clubs?

Don't get me wrong I'm well aware that behind closed doors every player will have a plan B, however from what's been reported it would seem that if Bradford remain in SL John will stay at Bradford for the immediate future. And then it will be up to the new owners to agree to any transfer fees offered for contracted players.

It was Warrington last month. Nailed on.

To be fair, I've also heard that Bateman is Hull bound.

I have a mate playing @ Huddersfield, who said them and Warrington were battling it out for his signature, when Hull came in last minute and he signed for them.

Heard this about a month ago, but hoping it wasn't true!

Apparently, on one of the SL shows this week, (SL full time, i think) they mentioned that Gale was on his way to Huddersfield.
