Wakefield have whinged about this to the local rag but don't appear as yet to have complained to the RFL.

Unless and until they do I don't think this story will go anywhere.

Considering 100% of people on here are not involved in negotiations then everyone is really guessing as to what has gone on.

IMO it sounds like sour grapes that Wakey wanted to retain him but he has choose us. I reckon we will see a lot more of this as other teams younger players opt to join us. However I am not 100% convinced that Pearson does things by the book either.

Can just picture little Agar stomping his feet and saying "get big bad Hull us dont like em"

Thats how I saw it when I read this morning but now its in open play who knows!

Could be a queue for another Hitler parody on a famous video website?

I think the anti tampering rule is a bit redundant due to the fact that clubs are allowed to speak to players agents and visa versa at any time. So they may aswell talk to the player directly if thats allowed

You know, I believe you.

Why don't they belong in the league?

If this is the best we could find then I'd rather stick with Green..

Oh hold on a minute do I not need to say in PG we trust?!

I was gonna take the Mick and say in AP you trust too, but that's probably starting to wear thin.

i prefer the one which goes 'hitler is informed he has won a season ticket for hull kr rather than hull fc'

If he boosts our season pass sales I'd take him

When the latest set of licences were announcing, the majority of people on RLFans were of the opinion that the only reason Wakefield retained theirs was because Crusaders removed their application.
I presume that this is what he was referring to.

Overall, I'm unsure about the Johnson signing. I can't really see what he will bring that wouldn't be achieved by Bowden or Green (who has looked good in his recent games), although he will bring some depth to the squad.
His signing means that we have a generally young set of props complimented by experienced players in Lynch (32) and O'Meley (31). We have Watts (22), Green (22), Bowden (20) and now Johnson (24).

I imagine that we'll see Lynch, O'Meley, and Watts all in the 17, with Green, Bowden and Johnson battling it out for the last place. That'll be good as it means that we'll get the best out of them as they all know that if they don't perform then there's someone else ready to take their place.

I'm not sure about Johnson either. If we went for Amor and he turned us down is Johnson second choice? Surely we wouldn't have signed them both.
