Yeah thats it, our recruitment is over.

Have you been checked out at the docs?

Im not worried but excited as to what the future holds. The current team isnt good enough to challenge and needs breaking up so im not bothered about anyone leaving.

Sorry but stupid post in my opinion, to me it's a fantastic time for Hull Fc, loads of cap to spend on getting the players PG wants and he has already shown what a good coach he is by our start and how some players have come on leaps and bounds.

Boat sinks, definately not. Spaceship about to take off more like.

Didn't say our recruitment is over you muppet, this is what narks me off, the ability for people to read and make assumptions.

I'm stating the obvious facts.

For all we know the board could make 4 massive signing's in the off season, but that's not a fact i'm trying to discuss now, the fact is we are loosing some of our quality players, and i'm surprised it's not worrying some of you.

When Manu didn't sign, and then Turner is holding, i'm thinking oh god, just when we start to get some consistency and start to look a better team structurally it all goes tit's up.. we've just lost a full back, we was already short in the havles for quality, so this now means horne will have to slip through to full back....

Nicklas ain't ready no where near, ellis has a quality kicking game, that's about it.... so you could say half way though the season 2 key positions (one in the halves and at full back) has been blown open once again.

When will we ever have a consistent half back pairing, and a proper bloody full back! I think our attacking play will suffer due to this.

Manu? Will he continue to play the way he has been playing, is his heart elsewhere now? lot's of questions to be asked. We will find out on Saturday by the reaction of the players, after past results and also the fact Leeds always give us a mauling, the Leeds game with some of our "key" players back really will give an indication as to how far we've come or "how far off" we are.

Just to clarify the Wade situation. Gentle said on Humberside last night that he offered to see out the season but Gentle told him to be selfish in this situation and to go now. It was also telling that when Gollum asked him if it was a blow to lose one of his big signings Gentle replied with "he wasn't one of my signings". I actually think Gentle sees this as a good opportunity to bring in his own players without having to pay off a large contract. I personally think wholesale changes to the playing squad is exactly what this club needs. Bringing players in on the right terms is easier than trying to reduce the wages of players being over-paid. Let's all just be patient and allow PG and the club the time to undo all the problems caused by the previous regime.

Why should we be worried when we could make 4 massive signings?

are you for real?

you can't complain about 2013 squad without seeing who we bring in.

Its obvious you'd rather keep 3 rather than gain 1 but wait and see who we bring in before moaning

That is his worry

I've never known an poster have mood swings like you do.

You say your posting facts then use the words possibly.

Spot on for me

Wait until the recruitment is all done before judging.

I'm surprised by Manu's decision but if you think about it, Moa is obviously going and Luaiki's already gone - he don't fancy being a one man mafia.

Being serious, losing those 2 may be a factor and lets be honest, its his last pay day and saints are obviously offering big dosh under a proven coach like Brown.
We've still got Westerman and Ellis to name but 2 to add to our current back row options, it's hardly a priority.

I like many have wanted to see Horney play FB for years so again, whilst this is a short term blow losing Wade, I'm happy RH will be in a more 'appropriate' position next year.

The half backs, i do agree to an extent. The young lads have a lot to prove yet and personally I have my doubts and Seymour to me just isnt what i want to see in a scrum half. An improvement on recent seasons as he's a decent organiser yes, but he needs to run with the ball more. I'd swap him him in a heart beat for Dobson or Dureau. I'd hope to see a more running h/b for next season and I'm sure we will.
