He looked good when he was breaking tackles and offloading the ball, with no help from others to do it! He put in some great runs against Leeds, no matter who was around him.

I agree, Fielden would have been a good signing on his recent form and his experience, but PP has also been playing well and is a lot younger!

Maybe its me been negative but you see the other clubs signings and our rumoured signings then we get linked with PP. He may turn out to be a top player but it doesnt fill me with confidence for the coming season.

id still like to know if hull have a specific halfback target or are we still just looking at a few.theres conflicting messages coming from the club,are we looking at experienced cover like rovelli for example or are we after a young half back.

I agree he had very very good players around him mate but imo he has shown he is a good player in his own right.. he would have a decent team around him, and I think he would improve us. Personally hope he signs..

More chance of signing John Prescott (Lord)

On the wigan site, they've just added a piece about their awards evening (basically Pat Richards got everything), and at the bottom of [url=http://www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.aspx?id=5305&type=1the article[/urlthere's a bit officially saying goodbye to the players that will be leaving Wigan. Prescott is not included in this.

Assuming we re-sign dowes (as I think the prescott rumour is BS), then other than ogre, the other 3 props are likely to be 3 of the lowest paid players in our squad. For me, we are spending too little of the cap on the props and far too much on the back row (I reckon fitz, tickle and manu are 3 of our bigger earners). Yet again there looks an imbalance to the squad

Il be willing to cross the river humber by swimming if you have signed Prescott.

How about baring your cheeks in Hammond's window? You probably won't have to - even folk who actually lose their bets in Hull aren't held accountable.

Exactly, dont know where this originated but PP wont be going anywhere, he is contracted for next season at Wigan, why would he want to come here?

Hopefully it isn't over yet, but I am so far disappointed with our recruitment so far, ,happy with Sharp who I think we turn out to be an excellent signing, but feel we have missed out on a few players who would have improved our squad.

Mathers
Emmitt
M Smith
Hargreaves

and possible Orr,

All signed for smaller clubs who finished below us last season.

Hopefully Agar has a couple of aces up his sleeve or we will be competing for 7th at best next season.

Thats what I like to hear, fans with some optimism.

All those teams who finished above us this season, are more than capable of doing so again next year having in many instances, recruited strongly or having a crop of excellent youngsters coming through. Rovers will be much stronger and better coached, Bradford appear to putting a decent side together as well as recruiting a more than capable coach. Salford will be better for the crop of players coming in and if Camel lips stays at the Crusaders I don't expect them to take a backwards step, that leaves us scrapping with the likes of Quins, Cas, Le Cats (who I think are recruiting reasonably well) and the new franchise for the minor places. Unlike some on here I foresee no end to the persitent injuries, particular with a 34 yr old scrum half (who will continue to get injured) and who will recieve little or no help from his current halfback partner in optimising our attacking options, nor any direction from our inept coach.

I fully expect another slide in the wrong direction, a season of injuries, no success and another 2 1/2 year deal for Agar at the end of next year, and like many others will still buy my season pass for 2012 along with shirt etc. etc. etc.

Its all a bit like the blind leading the blind really, but that, as Wilf regularly says is what being a Hull FC fan is all about. We expect much and once every 20 years or so get something back in return - only another 15 years to wait, everything else in between is just window dressing.
