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.

I bet Gollum is starting to dread interviewing Mr Gentle.

As far as I can remember Lynch was the first Gentle signing and he, Pearson and McRae have reiterated more than once that the squad Agar presented them with was not complete, and inferred that the signings made prior to Lynch were not what they would have made.

So here we are, undergoing the process of creating Gentle's 'sleeping giant' SL team. That means massive change, some welcome some not. They would have liked to keep Manu, but not at a price that compromises the end result. Ditto Turner IF he goes. Other than those two, who's going/gone that we haven't tried to keep?

I'm happy and excited, but if you're not, dobbo, why don't you start a petition, or is it 'The Bomber IS Back' that writes those?

The boat can't sink if it hasn't sailed yet. It takes time to build a top squad.

Think you need to change your location from 'Sunny...'.

I can understand the OP'c concerns if Im honest because whichever way you look at it we do seem to be losing some quality, however like I've said previously it's now up to Gentle to go out and recruit wisely and take this club forward, it looks like he'll have plenty of money available on the cap so they'll be no excuses. I also heard his interview last night and echo what robbo has siad it certainly sounded like he was making a point that McKinon wasn't one of his signings.

I am extremely excited, optimistic and as passionate about what is going on at Hull Fc as anybody. I have got my passion back this season after having it drained slowly away by the previous regime. I have even started going to away games once again.

Look at it this way. Yeah we have lost Manu, possibly Turner and who knows maybe others, let them go and hope they regret their decisions down the line. Wade going was just one of them things, lets move on.

But we have signed Gareth Ellis already. Every other super league club went in for him and he chose us. I dont pretend to know what he is earning as it is none of my business, but again he chose us. I am also sure that it was stated that we didnt make the biggest financial offer, but again he chose to join us. Now i assume as part of the negotiations. Bomber and the others will have told Ellis about our plans, our playing targets, maybe even told him who we already have agreed to sign, and guess what Ellis chose to join us.

The future is bright, its black and white. Trust in the AP he will deliver
