This saga has at least kept everyone busy during the dark times of the "off season". The squad we have been building would have to shredded to get Graham under the cap. Surely were not prepared to do that? We will struggle with props during the season with niggley injuries alone, we are far to light in number/quality. Lets now concentrate on who will be fit within our squad for the first league game! In the meantime we can sit back and watch the shambles that will be the pre season matches against Widnes and Leigh, support Woody in his testamonial game and then see how good we really are in the league.

I'm sure Tony Smith has it all in hand....

Personally, I can see it becoming the season when Mike Cooper makes a big mark on the competition and also Adam Neal will get to see some more game time.

Certainly, if we are ever going to have a big year then the youngsters will have to step up at some point...

Yes il have a bet.

I couldnt agree more... i really do believe that Cooper is going to have an immense season. He has all the attributes to go right to the top in the game... he seems to have everything.. good speed, great hands and hard in the tackle.. each week he gets bigger and stronger as well.

It must be great for a young talent like Cooper to work closely with Morley day in day out.

He already has, it's just that folk [other teams fans] haven't noticed. The biggest compliment that you can pay him is that you don't notice when Morley & Carvell go off.

He's actually been better than those two in a number of games this year.

Fully agree with that JWP.

I rate Coops but I fear a LT injury to Moz, Carvell or Coops could cause us some serious probs.

I really want another prop although Im not niaive to think that it will be someone at Graham's probable salary.

Then I suggest either a nappy or Tena Wirefan.....believe me the kitman certainly doesn't bother himself with finances at any club, neither does the players themselves as they leave it to their agents to get the best payday for both themselves and so the agent, but as to what is going on in the players minds, rumours, et al, then believe me Wirefan but they certainly know plenty.
Give my regards to the joker in your team, Gazza Carvs, and Gareth, OK you left us to go for mor silverware- glad you got the CC medal, but stop nicking our merchandising eh, besides the nude calendar from HULL FC is still far better than the wire one oh and by the way tell your lass she's not looking after you so well, your is starting to sag!lol Hope you have a good season, just not v the FC. Hope wire enjoy the jokes,but I still think Cas & Saints are my fav teams after the FC and therefore better than the wolves..............grannyfan Cindy
