heard a rumour 2day that agar is interested in bringing luke robinson from giants............

wots everyone think

Salary. Cap.

Maybe he means next year?

Is it the off-season already?

Things happen a long time before then!
Now you mention it though, maybe it's time the rumour thread started again.

i think some people were just hoping to get him for a bit while longy's out but like a previous poster said-salary cap

We will be ok while longy is on sidelines,we have coped with him out other weeks,infact i think we coped pretty well.

as short term cover then maybe...but he's too inconsistent for a permanent signing IMO, goes missing in the big ties

Just watching the Hudds game now,
I don't think Brown would let Robinson go as he needed a hooker anyway with Moore going back to Saints and Robinson seems to be doing a job for them whilst also there as back up s/h so i can't see it happening from their personnel point of view,

Robinson signed a 3 year contract at Giants about a month ago. Brown obviously has him in his plans with Brough, K.Brown, Lunt, Grix, Fauimu and Drew all vying for half back or hooking roles.

No thanks

That's what I was getting at.

Might aswell add in Westermans Discipline omission to the rumour mill, sure i read somewhere he was linked with us from someones reliable brown source, trying to orchestrate his move already.

Well let's have one then

have you heard anything regarding the longy injury?

Is Robinson available?
I wondered if the Danny Brough signing had anything to do with the 5 Hudds players arrested pre-season. I am not suggesting Luke Robinson is involved but perhaps Hudds know they are going to lose someone and covered the situation.

No. And I can't see us wanting (or being able) to buy him out of a shiny new 3 year contract.

Just a daft rumour IMO.

Robinson signed a two year extension a month or so ago, think he's still firmly in Browns plans.

No ta, don't like his face!

Met him outside of Millennium stadium when we won the cup - thought he was a top bloke, but not what I think Hull FC need or are looking for.

Agar is not a fan of his, so no I don't we'll sign him and to add to that, he's signed a new deal recently. However, I think he would be a good signing as a cover half or hooker.

Not a bad little player who likes to take on the line, but we should be aiming higher than Robinson if we want to be challenging.

its about availability at this time of the season though

2 factors should dictate whether we need to look at a scrum half
1. how long longy is going to be out for
2. how well we do in next 2 or 3 games - we don't want to throw away our decent start to the season

I remember seeing him outside Millennium Stadium near a few bars also, with Karl Fitzpatrick at the time who was absolutely leathered and Karl Harrison wasn't amused when i spoke to him.
