Totally agree, good signing and at 24 years old has more good years to come.

Only one reservation, where does this leave Richard Horne?

Hope not at 6 for next season.

He's bang average but even that's better than most of the UK FB's.

In hdm today tickles says ..ive got a place in but my family are in wigan and I do a bit of commuting

Heard Giants are interested in Tickle,any chance of a swap deal?

Also in the Mail, McRae hints about the signing of Liam Watts - he says if a player comes with "baggage" then that can be handled by stipulations in a contract and that players are signed primarily for their rugby league skills.

Sounds like Watts will be here for the Huddersfield game.

Craig Sandercock is quoted as saying Watts leaving is "probably the best thing for Liam and for Hull KR. We are trying build a team culture where no individual is bigger than the team." Miaow.

Where?

Sorry ,in hull

I mean where in the HDM.

A separate story inside. Nothing new in it: honoured to be offered a contract... don't want to rush... leave it to other parties... concentrate on rugby, etc.

good signing, ive just had a text of our kid saying the same

McDonnell would be a good signing as from what I have seen of him he reads the game really well and knows how to pick the right pass when he is out the back in a 3 on 2.

The only negative is that it most likely means we are stuck with Horne in the side for another season.

I still think we'll sign a 6.

How long before the Rovers lot are out saying we've paid over the odds for him? Because Hudge said so.
Sad, sad people.

So do I, McDonell will hardly command a massive salary. Not bothered about an NRL 6, just one with pace and good hands, god knows who though.

Fair play to him, came over to put himself in the shop window for a big club, and it's worked.
