Tsk, you believe that, he only came to Hull because we spent half the cap on him, it must be true, Leeds fans said so.

One or two rumours doing the rounds that you've signed Joe Arundel.

Decent player but wouldn't be worth signing him aslong as Turner is still here. Not a great deal in difference between them both. We want to be signing quality young English players but Arundel isn't someone we need.

Hope not. Doesn't look top quality to me and think crooks has much more potential

Crooks does look good but will certainly need to bulk up a hell of alot to play SL.

Give him chance, he's only 18

Not doubting his talent whatsoever just saying he will definitely need to bulk up that's all.

Exactly. Think he could be another year away yet, but there's no rush. Could be a long term player for us.

I think Turner will become a great player, I already rate him highly! i hope an excessive transfer fee hasn't been made if this signing is true

5 years ago today. Hard to argue. Talisman, leader, instrumental in changing the club ethos.

He's the ultimate role model. What a signing he turned out to be.

One of the clubs greatest signings ever, and rare that you get a top class player and a top class pro off the field.

Been everything I expected and then some!
Never seen a Hull player hit so hard, so often. In years to come, we will look back at his signing as a turning point in the clubs history (in the same way as Knocker was).
Been an honour to watch him in black and white.

Think all our hearts sunk a bit when he hobbled away in a cast from Headingley after breaking a bone in his foot during his debut pre-game warm up. Took another three months for us to see him but it was worth the wait. Then the snapped achilles in 2015 which had more than a fair few writing him off for keeps. Fools...........Didn't they realise he'd be lifting the CC above his head at Wembley the following year? Where is Martin these days? viewtopic.php?f=34&t=586924

What a signing what a player what a man. A Hull FC great.

When we signed him I wrote on Facebook "Gareth Ellis has signed for Hull - Sophie (my partner) best get ready for some Wembley trips in the next few years!"

£200k and all he does is tackle. What a waste of money. According to a group of Rovers fans sat behind me when he made his debut.

He has been and continues to be a warrior for this club.

When he signed, I'd have been happy to see Ellis play for just the initial 3 years he committed to. That he has played an additional two years (or will have done by the end of this season) is a real great to watch..

Not only his performances, but this professionalism. I would suspect the signings of Pritchard, Manu and Fonua were influenced by Ellis being at Hull.

Difficult to pin point one particular performance, but the Derby game, at home in 2014 (we won 28-0). Ellis produced possibly the most brutal defensive display I have seen of any Hull player.

Amazing signing, had a quick scan through this thread, some interesting comments about signings and retention just after he signed. Also lots of fallen comrades, where is Bet Lynch or he/she still with us?

Worth every penny.

... Stuart Pearce's face is a picture.

Psycho far right looks a bit glum after seeing his boys get beat.

Beat me to it by seconds.


Looks like Wane offering applause behind Scotty T.
Adams lady looking rather trim.

Sick as a Withernsea donkey
