The two players that AP alluded to on last night's sports talk on radio humberside seemed to me to be one of two possible half backs or that was my assumption from what he said regarding the question put to him so I would presume a full back is not what they're looking at, PG suggested a while back that Richard Horne would be the full back next season and I don't see why not, otherwise he may just be sat in the stand all season, can't see the point in that, and if you all remember, when AP took over one of his early statements was that it was a two or even three year project to see FC achieve the level of what he wanted to see for the club ! I know we all want to see some success next season but there's only two trophies to play for as always but surely a top four position next season would be a massive step forward even if a trophy is not forthcoming, only my opinion of course.

I haven't done a survey, but I'm willing to bet that [ieveryone[/i wants the best players possible for the club. They key word in there is [ipossible[/i. Some people seem to have a loose grasp on it.

If you asked the people supposedly happy to have Horne at 1 and Seymour at 7 if they would [iprefer[/i to have better players in those positions, what do you reckon their answer would be?

People not spitting dummies about our recruitment are not 'happy with mediocrity'. They simply appreciate that sometimes plans don't come to fruition despite best attempts, and that as long as we keep improving the squad overall we'll get where we want to be eventually.

A big deal was offered to Willie to stay, even with the Ellis Deal done plus the money allocated to Rangi so yep a few quid left however dont expect the club to be shouting about it, lessons have been learnt I'm sure since Mr Pearson's passionate frustrated outburst back in July.

Mr Mcdonell will be a good signing just watch the first league derby, is enthusiasm and willlingness now is a pleasure to watch and Mr Sandycock said the Hull crowd will love him and i belive he will be correct however they will be wearing the famous black and white.

Out of interest, who in the SL would you say is a 'real quality' HB who we should recruit, and realistic NRL HBs?
