their is some top players in that list, just shows our lack of ambition going for galea, gasnier would be a top addition for us, berro to leave and free money up to get a top half back or centre, and diskin to replace him.

Galea would be a definate step forward make no mistake, however it is still speculation

Meets the criteria , Old and getting injury prone...no doubt he will get signed by fc

Quite the contrary, when playing he is posibly the stand out KR player and has most definately got the "Cooke" touch , and is a ball player type we need desperately.. as for being old I guess then that Morley is past it too ??

Morley is coached well...he is rotated correctly if he played for us he would have to do 70 minutes max



Carvell plays a lot better don't you think!! wonder why Mr Rule

However, Saints might also turn to ex-Hull FC's Peter Sharp, who has been recommended by former Saints chief Daniel Anderson, his boss at Parramatta Eels.

and this is what BB was talking about. I see the guy on a weekly basis and in a way would be sad to see him go, quality when playing but he seems to be playing less and less games per season due to niggles. If FC sign him then I'm afraid your unlucky injurys tag should be relabelled as predictable injurys.

stop talking sense

It is clear to all and sundry that you have some link to the club, I do not know your identity and nor do I wish to. What is painfully clear is that all of your posts have an agenda. It smacks of the club, once again, thinking the fans are stupid and a few well placed positive posts will allow them to put their own spin on the happenings.

I am in no way a complete doom and gloom merchant and readily acknowledge that the club has done some good things and that Ben Galea is a good player. He is not what we as a team need though. The areas that we are weak in are crystal clear and the back row is one of the few areas were we have real strength! Even if you take Tickle and Fitz out of the equation then it still would not be a priority position to strengthen. People have talked about him playing 6 but surely we would look at signing a specialist 6 if we were going to replace Horney? Even as cover for Horne it simply doesn't stack up. Overseas places are a precious commodity which with the tightening of the rules are getting more and more precious. IMO it would be a total waste to bring in Galea into one of these. The signing of Fitzgibbon (similar age) could be argued as good business due to the standing he holds in the game and the profile of the man in Australia, Galea is perceived as a solid pro journeyman within Australia. A good player but not great.

Having said all of that it certainly appears that there is some truth to this as it refuses to go away. I feel this signing will be another nail in Agar's coffin and this time next year we will have a new coach in place who is given a remit of cutting the deadwood.......again!

I personally have speant approaching 10k in supporting Hull FC already this season (corporate box) and I can tell you that I am one supporter who will not be spending anywhere near as much next year without drastic changes to the on field product. Signings of the ilk of Ben Galea will do little to apease anyone!

are we discussing the injured Carvel??
Gareths ability later in his time at FC was his own doing where he lost interest and only gave it 50% hence he picked up a few knocks due to half hearted hits.. however remember he played for GB whilst at FC..
and JR has nothing to do with conditioning or on field issues
