The physio thing has been doing the rounds for a while and she is even getting blamed for McKinnon wanting to leave by some people, nothing to do with his 'singleman' lifestyle whilst his wife is still in Australia.

I've heard the story about the physio too. Seems to be gathering more momentum.

Expected Lopini to join Rovers but apparently now its us?

Hull had a huge turnover of backroom staff pre-season so it stands to reason that not all of them will gel or be as good as their CV suggests. The Mcrae/Gentle situation will work to Hulls advantage anyway. Hull will save a salary when he leaves and i reckon that between them Gentle, Hay and Radford will have more contacts home and abroad than Mcrae anyway.
The stories that are circulating regarding your physio are slightly more worrying but my guess is that there will be more than one person involved in diagnosing and treating injuries at a Club Hulls size so im not sure i believe them.

Really?

I'd be made up if we signed Paea. Exactly the sort of player we need to replace Ogre. I suspect it's a Rovers-created rumour to provide a timely boost when they announce his signature before the next derby.

Don't see anyone being a d1ck, just questioning why a physio is claimed to be diagnosing injuries. It doesn't make sense.

Exactly, if these rumours are true it maybe that something was diagnosed as minor and not major and passed on like it should have had, I am only speculating of course. Time will tell if they are stirring up trouble, if true Bomber will be gone at the end of the season if not true he will remain, same with the physio I suppose.

Rovers spoke to him, obvious connection with Mickey. Hull can offer more money I'd guess. Good signing if true.

Rovers are out of the race for Paea

These players are professionals and are responsible for themselves. If they believe that they had a niggling injury, or something that had been diagnosed incorrectly then they should have said something about it.
Not saying that a Physio couldn't have gotten it wrong, and that a player would trust their judgement, but if I go to the Doctor and I still feel like there is something wrong then I would go back/go to another.

Can't comment too much on it though - this probably all counts as libel.


I could imagine Reece Lyne moving to Wakefield. Agar seemed to like him and I don't think that he has much of a future with us.
