theyll have to give him a new contract first! he's only contracted to them for the remainder of this season

Pretty sure they will.

would like to stay at hull long term im told

Would be delighted if he did but think Quins see it as a short term loan deal.

short term loan deal? he's got another 2 years at hull uni and his contract at quins runs out this season

Yup i know, but my point was that Quins with give him a 2 or 3 year deal and then loan him to us for the remaining 2 years of his study. Same as they did with Worrincy and Mcarthy-Scarsbrook i believe.

thats if he wants to stay registered to quins

Due to his age im pretty sure we'd owe a fee wouldnt we should he decide to turn their offer down and join us?

Well thats the end of that then

I may be wrong?

You old cynic, you.
