[quote="HU8HFC":15aw63w6]The thought of signing a player from the Bulldogs anytime soon sends shivers down my spine [/quote:15aw63w6] True, he would be a good signing though, good prop.

[quote="MadDogg":i5tmbkuv]I'm very aware that there isn't much out there but for me Hull need a right foot kicker to provide balance and someone who's a running threat. Sneyd is obviously a better player than Abdull but Hull would again have two left foot kickers and two primarily organising halves. If I was Myler I think it'd be worth a shot to see if Wigan might release Jack Farrimond for a season long loan.[/quote:i5tmbkuv] Literally said to my business partner in the office an hour ago about this. Say to Wigan he will play upwards of 20 games this year - helps us out to source a 6 for next year

Good news that Abdull has gone, ridiculous signing. Don't believe for a minute Sneyd will come back, surely will be Leigh if he moves?

With his injury record it was always going to be a gamble. Unless there was a fitness clause in place a 3 year deal was poor judgement.

what we all just wanted too see from the new regime was passion on the field and ambition off it and although we'll have to wait a month to assess the first bit this news today certainly means that although it might be hard getting the best players to Hull in general and Hull FC in particular we can match anyone with the offer we make. Love the guy as I have always done, but I don't think Marc will come back although the lure of having a pop at being our highest ever goal kicker etc and returning as a hero to finish his days at the FC might be a draw but if he really did move to Salford for family reasons Leigh would be a better bet for him. Although I do believe that the owners who have an obvious eye for business see this possible signing as a way of boosting season ticket sales further. However the actions of the last 24 hours do for me at least show that a) we have ambition. b) we have a good business ethic and are willing to back the coach and spend the cash if we need to and it befits the Club as a commercial enterprise and c) (as we saw with Walker) the coach will be fair and honest in his dealings with the players but if hard decision have to be made the sentimental approach which has cost us dearly in the past has now left the club. At least Mr Myler and Co give us something to talk about!

Just when we thought it was a quiet spell... I have never agreed with the Abdull signing he is too injury prone and several coaches have tried and failed to keep his weight down. Sneyd would be a great short term measure but we must remember he is now 33 and not very fast (neither is Sezer) so need to watch we don't tie ourselves down and be stuck with an aging slow halfback paring for two long. Other option is we start the season with Cust/Charles and gamble someone becomes available later.
