Does it not worry you guys?

ha ha love these threads this time last year people wanted rid of sharp and turner now he's our hottest prospect.

If you want my opinion im not worried about next season i'm massively excited for the future, players leaving leave gentle with a blank canvass for the future.

dont understand the doom and gloom on here at the minute

No it really doesn't however I can understand dobbins like yourself being worried about our new regime and the changes they are keen to make.

Absolutley not. Not even thought about it.

In the pack, what about O'Carroll? Bowden? Kent? Or do they not count? We've (so far) lost two players. Gentle has already stated Horne will play fullback, so what's the the massive over-reaction?

When are we gunna stop this "your a dobbin" off, hull f.c through n through you complete nut job, accept it!

I'm concerned because as it stands, we've lost a full back mid-way through the season, If is heart is not for Hull, then great, bugger off we don't want players like that, but I'm ed off how a professional rugby league player can agree and sign a 3 year deal, and leave 6 months through it and leave us with a headache in the FB position... it's disgusting.

I'm worried about the loss of Manu, and if we may loose turner, we invested in turner and he's turned out to be a great player, rumors on Briscoe too.

The problem we have is the longer we go without winning anything, we will always be loosing our better players, because a player wants to win something, and can only go so long without success and when they know they are instrumental they can get a contract at any club, look at how turner is playing this season! he's on fire and easily one of our best players, certainly most improved.

My thoughts are:- wait and see what Bomber and Peter come up with for next season and beyond. You will see exactly what PG is trying to achieve in the next 2 seasons, no doubt in my mind whatsover!!

As it stands.....

Manu out, Possibly turner, possibly briscoe.... a full back short

In: Ellis

Would rather keep the top 3 than loose them and bring in Ellis...

Yeah thats it, our recruitment is over.

Have you been checked out at the docs?

Im not worried but excited as to what the future holds. The current team isnt good enough to challenge and needs breaking up so im not bothered about anyone leaving.

Sorry but stupid post in my opinion, to me it's a fantastic time for Hull Fc, loads of cap to spend on getting the players PG wants and he has already shown what a good coach he is by our start and how some players have come on leaps and bounds.

Boat sinks, definately not. Spaceship about to take off more like.

Didn't say our recruitment is over you muppet, this is what narks me off, the ability for people to read and make assumptions.

I'm stating the obvious facts.

For all we know the board could make 4 massive signing's in the off season, but that's not a fact i'm trying to discuss now, the fact is we are loosing some of our quality players, and i'm surprised it's not worrying some of you.

When Manu didn't sign, and then Turner is holding, i'm thinking oh god, just when we start to get some consistency and start to look a better team structurally it all goes tit's up.. we've just lost a full back, we was already short in the havles for quality, so this now means horne will have to slip through to full back....

Nicklas ain't ready no where near, ellis has a quality kicking game, that's about it.... so you could say half way though the season 2 key positions (one in the halves and at full back) has been blown open once again.

When will we ever have a consistent half back pairing, and a proper bloody full back! I think our attacking play will suffer due to this.

Manu? Will he continue to play the way he has been playing, is his heart elsewhere now? lot's of questions to be asked. We will find out on Saturday by the reaction of the players, after past results and also the fact Leeds always give us a mauling, the Leeds game with some of our "key" players back really will give an indication as to how far we've come or "how far off" we are.

Just to clarify the Wade situation. Gentle said on Humberside last night that he offered to see out the season but Gentle told him to be selfish in this situation and to go now. It was also telling that when Gollum asked him if it was a blow to lose one of his big signings Gentle replied with "he wasn't one of my signings". I actually think Gentle sees this as a good opportunity to bring in his own players without having to pay off a large contract. I personally think wholesale changes to the playing squad is exactly what this club needs. Bringing players in on the right terms is easier than trying to reduce the wages of players being over-paid. Let's all just be patient and allow PG and the club the time to undo all the problems caused by the previous regime.

Why should we be worried when we could make 4 massive signings?
