Humberside only ceased to exist 14 years ago. You need to allow a bit more time for the news to reach other parts of the UK.

McGuire has been the best 6 in the comp for last 4 yrs. He is quick and does back up well, something we were lacking lots last season when sam moa broke the line. I rate him highly and carried leeds a lot last year. I for one would love to see him at hull. Just my opinion tho.

Not sure I agree with this. Whilst I don't like him, the matchwinner he scored late on against us to mean we finished 6th and not 4th summed him up - a constant danger with ball in hand IMO.

I actually think Horne was a better player then Maguire in 06 and both Pryce and T Barett have had better seasons in the last 4 years. In terms of consistsntly being good and from an overall perspective your probably right, the little to$$er has probably been the comps most effective 6.

As I said before, he has pace and backs up well. With those attributes, he will always be a threat whilst playing in a side like Leeds. But IMO, as a creative half back with the ball in hand, he is no better than what we have already got.

If and when we sign a half back, we need to ensure that they are creative above anything else.

Fair enough. Would be a good partner for Long, though.

I like Horne, and he's local which makes him better, but to suggest he's been anywhere near Maguire's class at any point in his career is just a step too far. Maguire has been one of the comp's outstanding individuals (not just halfbacks) since coming into the whinos team. Horne was a young player of great promise, who had a couple of excellent seasons, but has been poor for as many. Our over reliance and blind faith in his waning talents has hindered us greatly over recent years.

I agree. He's improved on the creative side over his career but is still fairly ordinary in that respect IMO. To me his attributes have always been more in line with the fullback position, other than his defence. If he'd been stronger in defence I think he might have played there instead.

The Sun says Myler isnt coming your way-Agent Offiah does anyway

BJB was brilliant last year at Quins

Crusaders need money so maybe a small fee could persuade them to let him go, I would hope to wrap him up for a bit longer than a year if we paid a fee though.

Anyone know if work visa's are linked to an employer, i.e. would he need a new one if he transferred to us ?

No point in bringing Sammut in for just a season if he is looking to go home in 2012, won't happen, I can see BJB getting a fair bit of game time for Leeds this season too, just looks like old rumours being recycled.
