But who from the 19s are ready to play every week?

I totally agree with you about Pritchard and Taylor,but reading the second part of your post about NRL players,why do you think AP would come out with the statement he has about 3 top class players.

I haven't heard his interview but I believe they are fetching in a very decent centre, they've a few on the radar which will be a massive improvement, but he says things to boost his clubs pass sales, every chairman does, I was just meaning the likes of inglis & co will never grace our competition unless like I posted earlier.

Do you reckon we will make two more signings? A centre and a winger? I reckon it will be one more I listened to the AP interviewee and I got the impression it was two new ones plus Pitchard.

If we make two more there is no need to keep Michaels and Yeaman.

Our forwards could do with another prop. Pritchard & mini are ultimate professionals, I'm happy we are signing these type of players as they are as good off the pitch as on it.

Last time I took notice of you you were ing over a young qlds cup fb who went on to play amateur ru 7's.

If you believe Talanoa was Hull FC's player of the year last year you're as stupid as the person who gave him the award. To slow for wing, can't pass to play centre but he tries hard and plays up for the fans. He's Hull FC's Ben Cockayne.

I didn't call CT awful, I said he was an awful signing. Blocks players like Logan, Dean and HTW on a lot higher wages for a slightly better return.

don't be daft Yeaman will write his own contract extension.
Doesn't deserve a contract performance wise.
if Yeaman had not been a local player and was an Aussie/NZ, fans would have been outraged that he was even in the team.
Michaels has performed better than Yeaman yet fans think he is rubbish and not worth a contract.
thats the misplaced loyalty shown by Radford and some fans because he is from Hull.

Let's give the Lad chance !
Hull FC fans are really starting to p**s me off !
Armchair experts everywhere!

You have hit the nail on the head there,he says things to boost pass sales. Going back to my original post, this is why some posters are, in my opinion,disappointed in the signing.
If he is one of the three top signings promised by AP then I can understand the frustration.I suspect he is and the AP statement is just more bull and spin in a long line of bull and spin.

Not signing players because it blocks 'unproven' youngsters is the stupidest thing I keep seeing repeated! Its a squad. Players with specific skillsets combined with young players is what all good squads are made of.
Wigan are held up as a marker. Hampshire manfredi powell have had to bide their time for years. They make up their squad and are getting more and more games now but got yrs on our young uns!

Should I be jumping for joy? Delighted with signing taylor and pritchard but not nrl fringe players. You knock yourself out about though

yeaman

I can't believe he is one of the 2 pearson referred to in his interview. He was practically frothing at the mouth at these signings so surely it isn't someone with barely any 1st grade experience. IMO it's pointless bringing someone 1/2 way around the world for them to learn their trade in our 1st team

Absolutely spot on, Sheldon. People are the same about Rankin.

Baffling signing.

Hope he's backing up and we still are to sign out 2 outstanding 'top class' backs.
