Ellis won't be going, he's almost certainly staying on. Paea, Manu, Mini and Westy are all being or have already been replaced. On this seasons form we won't miss too much with Hadley, I think Jordan Lane would start in front of him if fit anyway. We're currently trying to turn Fash into a versatile forward that can cover hooker in the unlikely event Houghton won't play 90% of games. Masi is more than capable cover at prop. I don't know if we're keeping Bowden and Green but at the moment it's looking like we'll have too many quality players to fit into the backs AND the forwards. Great times to be a Hull fan but nothing is won on paper and I'm not counting any chickens!

I'll add that all the Radford fans (myself included) will be hard pressed defending him if we have a woeful season.

For the benefit of Brisbane Rhino who on the Leeds board is claiming on the Lolohea thread on there that I’ve said Sinfield has messed up with his swap deal.....no I didn’t on that one as Lolohea has been a flop. What I said is that IF Sinfield has got rid of Parcell for Lunt and he DOESN’T bring in another quota signing right now then it’ll be a mistake.

To be fair to Radford, every time he looks like the wheels are falling off he turns it around and proves the anti mob wrong.

Well I think the point is now we do have the space we can actively look, without the free space we couldn’t have brought anyone in anyway.

Are you banned from your own sides board ? That's poor that, whichever dictator has done that should over turn it for God's sake.

Although I think he's served his ban and should be allowed back, but if the ban relates to the post I think it does, I understand why it was given.

It wasn't bickering and a difference of opinion ?

Hull paying marquee money for a winger is nearly as funny as Leeds and their panic buys

It’s not even close, and he’s due to play centre according to Radders.

I shot down a few of his definitely going to happen in the know rumour transfers in the past and he had a bee in his bonnet towards me ever since and was deleting perfectly fine posts of mine whether they were questioning rumours or just opinions about the club in the general and sending PM warnings for no real valid reason (did likewise to another poster who did similar). So I was essentially being silenced anyway so I thought I’d post something offensive and finish the job off. No point going back on there to post as he’d just do the same.

Difference is Hull have their HB’s well sorted so spending marquee on a three quarter is fine. Whilst Hurrell is a good signing on the face of it, without the HB’s to create for him it’s made it a pointless signing.We had Sutcliffe in the 4 shirt previously and whilst not a better centre than Hurrell which option would’ve been better this season

A - Sutcliffe in the halves creating nothing for Hurrell and others
B - a top notch marquee HB creating for Sutcliffe at centre and the rest of the team

Hurrell is one of the signings Leeds fans are giving Sinfield praise for and I can understand why to an extent just based on he’s an upgrade to having Sutcliffe there but other positions were more important than left centre.

Frosties is it?

He will probably play centre.

Besides, our squad is looking very strong. We already have the best halves in SL, if Manu Ma'u has signed as rumoured (second marquee?) we will also have the best second row (Mau, Jones, Savelio and Griffin). All imo of course.

You've got to spend the cash somewhere.

Printer - didn't know you were banned. Don't agree with you re MCD but that's what forums are for. Opinions.

Should you really be commenting on that when you signed Kevin Naiqama, he plays Centre doesn't he? Isn't that just as funny...
