| Terrific player for FC but one of the few we let go at the right time. Has done very little for Saints over the past 2 years - and yes I know he will be playing in the 2014 Grand Final.
Best wishes Willie for the future.

That was a stupid trick if true and whoever made that offer needs a slap. We shouldn't have even been considering it, let alone making an offer.
Have we learned nothing from the last few years?

Absolutely. We must not let our best players go at the peak of their career and then re-sign them when they are past it.

sorry, but how was he at "the peak" of his career, he did nothing at Saints, so we let him go at "the sunset" of his career, surely?

| In answer to the original question, no.
Great player but we and he have moved on.

| If we can get him on a cheap deal, why not? Bit more strength in depth, a good professional to be around the young players.
He's not at his peak anymore, but certainly has rugby left in him.

| So the sock fest continues, so far this last week we've had:
Manu is ok for some, not too old, but too old for others
Pryce not too old
Tahu is not too old
Moi Moi IS too old for some
FFS why are we even considering anyone over 32.
We should have got out of this when Uncle Kath did one. The days of 2 year deals for 32 and 33 year old should be long dead.

This is exactly the attitude that has killed Hull in recent times, both FC and as a City.
Why is there a lack of ambition in some quarters to be the best. Hull (FC and the City) has [ieverything[/i in it's favour, just small town small time thinking lets us down.
Be PROUD, STAND UP and DEMAND SUCCESS. And if it isn't delivered, vote with your feet.

Calm down, calm down.
21 players under the age of 25 in our first team squad isn't a bad comparison to most of our fellow SL opponents.

You cant just have a team of young kids though, experience is needed along side them
