McRae said earlier no more to come in at the minute , and if they was some have to leave first .

really poor signing id rather have kept 1 of washy,burnett, lauaki, personally i wouldnt have signed martin and aspinwall and signed a good young english forward like patrick.

Aspinwall is an established and solid Super League player and given that his role will be just to spell Manu, Tickle or Westerman i think he will do a fair job.
However, if i were Liam Cunningham, Liam Kent or Chris Green i would be seeking a release. They would grow an extra leg playing infront of a Hull FC crowd and so long as they pretty much played alternate weeks so to avoid burn out i think they would far eclipse anything Aspinwall will offer.

washbrrok is a solid established super league player same again for burnett and i would much rather have lauaki then aspinwall very poor signing

Does anyone know how many other teams have not filled up their overseas quota?

dnt talk rubbish! our youngsters will get the opportunity this coming season. maybe you should be worried about your own youngsters who after breaking through last season have now been pushed back by the number of o/seas you have signed

I think you are right Aspinwall will spell Manu, Tickle and Westy and be in the 17 next year. I also agree that he will do a decent job. However if Gentle is true to his word then the next in line will be either Green or Kent (would say Cunningham but think he is been lined up as a centre next year).

Will Aspinwall, Manu, Tickle and Westy play every game next year? Probably not.

Will Green or Kent get the first team opportunity if the above is true? Yes according to Peter Gentle.

I reckon that when Aspinwalls contract runs out we will have seen a fair bit of either Green or Kent to be honest lets hope they are upto the job!

Bringing in the experienced Aspinwall whilst not setting the heart rate going for Hull fans is the sensible decision to help bridge the gap between regular first team action and breaking in the youngsters. Without Aspinwall any long term injury to any of our back rowers would throw the youngsters straight into being first team regulars. Huge risk.

How anyone could say that they would rather keep Lauaki is beyond me! The guy was utter sh#te, 17st of wind who put that pathetic step on before every impact! He won't be any better for Wigan!

Anybody who knows me, or reads my posts, know that i am passionate about Rovers and Hull bringing through youngsters. The up-coming season will see if either of our clubs share my view. It should also be noted that Liam and Chris have probably passed the youngsters stage and are really ready to be played.

Aspinall isn't a five star signing no- willie mason was but aspy will be of more use to you than a willie and will be a solid squad player who can give guidance to the youngsters. If the club can provide him positive support then I reckon he will br good value for money.
Aspy will give 100% on the field guaranteed.

is aspinwall any better then lauaki, washy or burnett

Washbrook was offered a 3 year deal for another club, and Barnett has consistently failed to impress. Lauaki was hardly likely to accept a year with us when Wigan offered 3 years either.

Why do people consistently ignore facts on here?

Both Cunningham and Green should have at least half a dozen appearances in the first 17 under their belts by now. Why they havent is up for debate and Hull's choice of 18th man for our last game of 2011 doesnt sit well with me.

Clean slate for Gentle but the 2 mentionned above are probably behind on their development as things stand because of last years selections.

Two of those three wouldn't have signed a one year contract, and Aspinwall is [iprobably[/i better than the third.
