Anyone checked to make sure AP is still alive?

He did say players would be sold over his dead body.

Maybe we are skint afterall. Wire look like they got a bargain at £125k, they feel it should be much higher.


Very sad to let another player walkout of the club, we either drop him for the season or play him at prop all season now

Wasn't it said when McRae was here that he offered Lineham a new contract & Radford told Tom to snap his hands off for the money offered? If so should free up a decent amount of the cap as well as the fee involved.

Warrington are losing Monaghan who scores a try+ per game. Big boots to fill and doesn't equal a net gain for them IMO.

Sad to see him leave, but if he wants to go then we need to do the best deal for us. Like Briscoe, he's not a Hull lad, so not surprising he may find it easier to leave.

With Lancaster & Naughton there's adequate cover.

From James Smailes

"not skint -but balancing books. Crowds down, paid 100k for sneyd last year, new training ground etc. if player wants out, sell"

I can just see the headlines, "AP says Tom was sold cos you didnt come to the games, i told ya!"

Well at least we'll know which side to attack when we play Warrington.

Joel Monaghan wont have come cheap, so Lineham will be offered more
salary than he was on at Hull, I assume.

My concern is a lot of quality is leaving the club in Rankin, Paea and Lineham and so far we have no announcement as to who are replacing them. It reminds of when Manu and Briscoe and Moa went but the replacements were not even close to the quality we lost.

Probably does, but I reckon the club will be pretty pro-active now, after the marquee rule been approved. Can see a couple of big signings, so I'm not worried yet!

Lets wait & see, when the jigsaw is completed...

Motu Tony has recruited better players than McRae - IMO..

By the sound of it we are losing money so I wouldn't expect marquee player's at all. Has beings yes as always. Maybe he thinks the teams good enough without them

Well, Rankin's not been announced as leaving. Taylor, of course, has. Ellis replaced Manu. But apart from that, spot on.

Do you believe the club will not recruit any quality? I think we will have some good players coming in. Announcing signings early is, of course, selling the fans short.

There's still 4 months of this season yet to play, why would the club announce all their signings now?

This deal was done months ago and I did bring it up and was shouted down..........

Do not start blaming those who do no longer come to FC, those who are in charge are still to blame for what has gone before and what is to come. He was SOLD to Wire and he may have company in the taxi over to Cheshire, the club can put on what ever spin it likes.

So now our wing options are Talanoa, Lancaster and Naughton.

Hearing rumours we want Justin Carney in to replace Lineham/Michaels - and then another star centre from NRL. So not the end of the world
