To be fair considering our old regime it's more than likely true...

It was blindly obvious to a simpleton that he was never going to work out at Hull. Best news I've heard in ages.

Me too actually. Don't know what I was thinking!

lets be fair, with a reported 150k burning a hole in our coffers, who realistically is available and who would we get for such a sum??.......
as for superleague, there isnt much about, id say gentle will have an eye on the reserve nrl grade......

The administrators will.

Difficult to get a visa for them though, so unless it is a reserve grader with Islander heritage/passport it isn't straightforward.
There's a real shortage of good halfs now. While the likes of Jamie Ellis, Kyle Briggs and Gareth Moore didn't really cut it, as the standard falls players like them become better in relative terms.

Would you dare wait that long? We find a buyer late on and your options narrow again. We're much more saleable with him on board, so we'll hold on as long as possible - unless, as has been acknowledged, an NRL club offers him a deal.

Go on, sell us Dobbo. You know you want to really



On a serious note, agree with what you say regarding the problems with NRL reserve graders and the overall shortage of good halves. And those clubs with them will fight tough and nail to keep them.

I just hope the club don't panic and go for the first available half. With some luck Holdsworth will be back soon and Horne has been outstanding so far this season so we don't need to rush.

Short term, possibly G O B of Warrington, probably would depend on when Briers is back.

Could be 2 + 2 making 5, but his increasing injury absences + being given a coaching role have me wondering if a retirement announcement is nearing. Especially with Myler moving up a level this year and looking more like an all-round halfback now.

Sneyd would be one I'd hope we keep an eye/ear out for.

O'Carroll and Ellis British equivalents, too.

Had the same thought about Briers. 34 now isn't he?
