Good signing if true. Much more preferable to Kearney.

My only fear is that this means Horne is now staying at 6 even though we were told otherwise. I still think we are after a 6 and certainly hope so. We won't challenge with Horne at 6 i'm afraid and I say that as a big fan of his.

Just heard the words "feeder club" mentioned!

Don't know why sum Rovers fans are taking the hump, we need a FB, they have one but don't want to pay him the going rate, we are so he's coming.(allegedly.)

+1

This is my fear too.

i like the bloke spoke to him a few times and its obvios(to me) that he backed himself by taking a low salary this year, knowing the abject lack of s.l talent, he would impress and 2or 3 clubs would bid his value up good luck to the bloke its a short career earn it while you can, maybe sandy can unearth another

I agree wait till confirmed only gollum said it

heard again this a.m lovegrove to dark side? genuine question he counts as club trained for us how would stand quota wise for you guys?

that would be Rovers fans who don't know what contract McDonnell will be getting trying to make themselves feel better about losing a good player to their rivals.



This is a Hull FC fan who also probably doesn't know what contract Mcdonnell will be getting trying to make it seem like an even bigger blow to Rovers by insinuating that FC probably haven't offered that much more money than Rovers did to him.

IMO Rovers are losing a very good full back and Hull FC are gaining one but let's not pretend that as fans we have any idea of the amounts of money involved in the contracts. Its very likely that FC have offered more than Rovers but how much more, who knows?

That's not how it was meant at all. I'm saying he'd be cheaper than getting an NRL FB over and not as messy paperwork wise with Visa, house etc...



Agree, but it's just as likely that you've under valued him as we've over valued him.

I would actually say if Gollum said it it's true.

yep completely agree

For the first 2-3 months of the season I thought McDonnell was awful, but has looked better over the last month. Would have hoped for better and even been willing to wait until next year (especially if it does mean we don’t get another halfback), but there simply don’t seem to be any decent fullbacks available so he’ll still probably be one of the better fullbacks in SL next season.

Wonder what the chances of Horne being offered a coaching role are?

i have a feeling that Horney may call it a day at the end of the season, no substance in it just a feeling i have.

I've been wondering the same.
