With us looking poised to finally secure the signatures of a "proper number 7" & McDonnell as our fullback then we will surely be left with two of the highest paid players unlikely to make the starting 17 of their team in SL??

Seymour & Horne will be taking up a large wedge of the cap & it appears very unlikely either will deliver value for money.

Are there any other teams in SL who will have two players on such wages sitting in the stands not through injury?

Are these new signings going to mean Seymour will be offloaded? We surely can't fit Prince & McDonnell in and still accommodate Seymour & Horne. If somehow we can then we should be able to improve the squad massively again once Horne & Seymour eventually move on.

A chunk of Hornes salary is expect from the Cap due to him being here 10 years IIRC, (obviously needs paying, but doesnrt count towards the 1.6 limit). Although thats probably shared with Yeman aswell now.

Horne no

the other one, he'll go

old regimes doing, not pearson, mcrea or gentles' fault

horne back up, as said his wage on the cap will be deducted so not much of a problem

seymour? bye bye and good luck

Re: are there any other players taking up a large amount of cap space:-

Rangi Chase - Castleford Tigers. - unless he goes to St George of course.

Only £50k I believe which Yeamo qualifies for anyway and you only get it once!!

So,

1, McDonnell
2, Crookes
3, Arundel
4, Yeaman
5, Briscoe
6, Holdsworth
7, Prince
8, Watts
9, Houghton
10, Lynch
11, Ellis
12, Tickle
13, Westerman

O'Meley
Johnson
Galea
Heremaia

A nice blend of youth and experience.
'Championi's Championi's, o,a,o,a,o,a.'

I'm in no way blaming the current regime & have praised them for their efforts in the Rumours thread.

It's great to see the squad shaping up well. Without Horne & Seymour on the books we could add the extra rough @rse prop I'd like to see then I think we'd have a team to many any.

It was never gonna happen overnight but we're making progress for sure & feel a lot better knowing we will have a partner for Holdsworth!

Seymour has played his last game for us so I am told.

Awww, what a shame!

Would deffo rather keep McGoldrick if at all possible.

Oh and that big, scary animal of a prop wouldn't go a miss either!! But I think that's asking a bit too much for 2013.

On sky bet, Hull are 8/1 to win the cup, 10/1 to win grand final and Ellis is 8/1 to get man of steel.

Scott Prince!!!!

Sums the thread title up a treat!!!



He will be 36 at the end of his contract with Hull, you lot are priceless and clueless
