www.hullfc.com/newsarticle.aspx?n=19184 - Hull confirm Lynch.

No mention of the fee in that article. Is it 'undisclosed' like both Burgesses in case we all get too giddy?

It says six figure sum in the article, so anything from £100,000 to £999,999, though knowing the Bulls it was probably £99.9900...

So is Lynch a Judas now, like Fielden? Or is this different?

Just told my 11 year old about Lynch and Raynor. She says "Why? We have no good players left now."

The Bulls need to announce some positive news and quickly.

We needed players before these 2 left. I see it as we now need another wingers, 2 props, maybe a classy loose and possibly a centre.

Can't fault the Bulls really. A player who wants away is not worth keeping, if it's £100k for a 31 year old is sound business. Raynor has destroyed all the trust Bradford placed him in by the looks. He deservs nothing but scorn if it is a further offence.

Thats the fee both clubs have probabaly agreed to put about but the Hull Daily Mail which is usually spot on with this sort of stuff says

But it is thought the Black and Whites have paid a fee of around £50,000 to secure the services of the former England prop.

Your paper talks down transfer fee, our paper talks it up. Neither really knows and actual fee will fall somewhere in between extremes. End of the day both clubs are happy with deal so does it really matter exact figure?

'Significant six figure fee' is in the Hull club's own release statement. I don't think Adam Pearson is going to sanction a transfer fee and then tell the PR dept to lie about it.

Plenty of scope for disingenuous comment by either side regarding the "value" of the transfer.

Clearly a fee has been paid. But who knows if there are not other elements to it, like (for example) Hull assuming a salary payment or two that Bulls would otherwise have made? Or we'll mysteriously find we have a pre-season friendly against Hull FC? The clubs will have agreed a statement, so both must believe the total value received/given is at least £100k?

I guess I should keep my powder dry until I see who (if anyone) we end up signing. Must admit though I bet we see Lynch in the Dream Team next season. Personally I'm pretty gutted though. It sends out all the wrong messages.

so then both been rumoured for weeks and both been confirmed three days after the Pledge deadline mmmmmmmmmm.
Oh behave mark you old cynic

Sad to see Lynch go. I suspect he would have stayed if the team around him wasn't gash. Replacement? Looking unlikely. This seems like a balance sheet job.

As for Raynor, I hate those "no further comment" statements. We demand to know what he's done!
