Once a player starts demanding 'guarantees' that's the time to walk away. Pleased that we pulled his offer.
Plenty more fish...

Yeah it would have been a nice addition, but not the end of the world.
He's said he's looking to play fullback at KR so with Dufty and Thewlis at fullback he's not needed.
Will be interesting to see if we have signed a centre already as someone stated, and who it is.
I assume we're waiting to see who gets relegated to make forward signing, if wakefield go down i think we're aiming for Tanginoa as spoken about on here already, but if castleford get relegated i'd happily take George Lawler. He's a big solid consistant forward who can also play at 2nd row as well, and will only be 28 next year so in his prime as a forward

I see they've also been sniffing around Tyler Dupree who has reportedly asked to leave Salford. Who's got the big cheque book at Hull KR?!?

Matt Wire, the answer to that question has recently been told in the recruitment thread.....

Neil Hudgell is absolutely minted.

A couple of years old now but here's some background to all the SL owners

I'm sure that there are plenty of other, better reasons why folk dislike Wire, but agree that there really was no need to have a pop at Hull, as there's good and bad in most northern towns/cities and that goes for Warrngton.

It was meant as a light hearted quip, as I'm fully aware that most Northern towns are holes - there's a reason we tend to keep our overseas players from certain areas of the town...

The point was that Hiku has previously struggled to settle in England, so it will be interesting to see if he sees out a full 3 years on Humberside.

Was Hiku genuinely homesick, or was it just a convenient bit of face saving as he was offered an NRL contract and he had a get out clause?

Hiku wasn`t homesick, it was his girlfriend who was supposed to follow him to the UK, then couldn`t face the move when it came to the crunch and begged him to return Down Under.

Not sure if they are still together or not?

If they are and she still has a problem with moving to England, then it`s Hull KR`s problem now.

“Oooh you’re earning how much love…I hear Hull is a lovely place yto settle down”.
