Quote: ComeOnYouUll "Hull signed Long about three months before Bradford signed Orford.'"


Think Orford was on and off the market for a long while though IIRC, messing about with whether or not he wanted to leave Manly. There were plenty of rumours about him throughout last season (and a lot of calls for us to go after him on here), but I think he was just fishing for a big deal and we weren't willing to get drawn in so lined up Long instead.

the original sandy, no aussie imitation!:



surely that depends on whether orford does come back next year or not as his and long's statistics are remarkably similar this season.

Quote: Big Dave T "So the mail believes we broke our wage structure for Tickle? That would concern me based on the fact we've missed out on numerous class players in the past for not doing so.'"


I would think it being that we have now offered him 'international' wages, i wouldnt think we would have given him miles over what we valued at,but had to adjust his wage up to retain. top of my head maybe say another 20k/30k to the banding that we would have done

But one takes up a limited non-fed spot and allegedly gets a fair bit more money. Add in that even before the benefit of hindsight, it was unknown how/if Orford would adapt to SL but Long was proven for a number of years and I personally think we made a very astute signing.

What worries me more is the fact that we offload Dowes and make Fozzard an offer. NOT the direction we should be heading IMO (actually both Hull clubs did).

Quote: Big Dave T "Maybe Orford was a poor example to use.

Putting Tickle out of the equation too my main point i guess is that i'm wondering why FC have decided to change their approach now and not last year or not next year?

Have we decided that our wage structure needs an overhaul to be competetive?
Have we secretly never spent upto the cap and now decided to do so?'"

Apart from those years where we went over it you mean? icon_smile.gif
