when he says the source re this signing is off this board...he is wrong. This board was not the source. HTH.

No you are so please feel free to bugger off again

Manu signed for Saints at the same time as Nathan Brown did,and like i said earlier NB is after DT aswell.

how much are they offering? 150-200k?? doubt tickle will be going anywhere next season, we don't need to sell

WHy not sell him anyway, not like all our side are buggering off is it

Wrong. My source is at the Giants and not speculation on here.



Was told that saints wanted to check that Brown wanted Manu. He did and so saints have pressed on.



NB is a massive admirer of Tickle and would want himwhen out of contract.

Good stuff.

if tickle does go then surely our kicking duties would be left with benji if the rumours are true

Manu is gone , but saying that after the madness of offering him a 3 year deal who knows.



Worth a 1 year deal with the club option to take up 2, anything more is madness.



Letting Tickle go would be very bad move but if he wants to go let him, cash plus a player.

There absolute bollox.

Why all of a sudden does every Fc player allegedly want to leave, i don't buy it, we have made our intentions clear by signing one of the best second rowers in the world, you would think that the players who have played under the last regime would be excited and fighting for a place in what PG, AP & SM are trying to build, and playing along side better calibre of players and not wanting out, if it was the last coach still here i think i'd find all these players wanting to leave a lot more believable!

Mebbe some of them aren't too enthused with having to abandon their game of swimming-pool British Bulldog or climb off the sunbed and do some real training?

You don't honestly believe this, do you?!

Cut him some slack. First post and he forgot the

Heard that Manu is undecided, so will play our away games and/or Hudds home games, depending on the day. If either have a free weekend, he'll play for Castleford Lock Lane

I thought his decision was going to be all over the media this week ?

As I have said before I would withdraw the offer.



He has had his chance to sign, what seems an excellent long term contract.



We need to start and look at our recruitment and not let players hold us back.

Maybe they had a deadline on his new offer, I agree it should not carry on much longer. Tbf though I imagine most contracts take at [ileast[/i 8 weeks to finalize, the only difference is that this one hit the media.

I would love Manu to resign with us but if his heart isn't with Hull then let him move on. We have upgraded on Manu ten fold anyways with Ellis. Use Manus new (offered) wages to sign either a quality overseas centre if Turner leaves or a 6 or prop.



Think of it this way, if Manu does stay chances are our team will be unbalanced and over stocked in the back row. We really would be better off using his money on bringing in another player at prop, centre or 6.

FFS Parker gets his stories off here.

Its not about money, he just doesnt want to play Sundays due to religious commitments

totally agree on this, let the past be the past, and move on..... let manu go
