Quote: Red John "Because....
You hear a rumour Salford are in the market for a new player, but you've no idea who.
You look at their squad and decide which position(s) they look weakest in.
You think maybe second-row, maybe three-quarters.
You think 'who could possibly play both positions?'
You think 'which club might be looking to sell?'
You remember that Hull have hinted at money worries.
You look for second-rowers who could possibly play in the backs at Hull.
You see Joe Westerman's name.
And there's your headline.'"
That's all reasonable enough. Shoddy journalism though.
Hull don't have money worries in the sense that we are struggling and need some cash. People (mainly Pearson) are just frustrated that a lot of expensive mistakes have been made lately and that crowds are down. We are still one of the wealthiest clubs, he's just saying that we won't carry on that way if nobody turns up to watch.
