Guess it depends on the transfer fee, if Westerman was c£150k what would Lynch be, £40/50k?

Hope he comes would be an excellent addition. His age isn't an issue in his position - he has 2 years left at least (the best prop in the league is 34). He's British and we need a prop.

40k would seem about right.

i'd be happy with that kind of figure, but I gues we''l never know for certain.

We let Carvell go for 55k IIRC, who was a lot younger. So would have to be less than that for me .

He has two years left easily possibly three. However can't see anyone moving for him next year other than a one year deal. If he came to Hull this year he can get a 2 year deal with an option for a third.

If he has any sense at all, he'll be making it quite clear to Mr. Hood that he wants to come here. Like has been said, at his age it could be his last chance of a decent move.

He could get himself a two year deal and an option of a third with us, he would be better off financially and he'd have much more chance of actually finishing his career with some silverware than he would have staying with a very very poor Bradford side.

Not to mention the fact that he's exactly what our pack needs!

True, but this was a few years ago now and the market will have gone up.

Was only 3 years ago and I would suggest the market has remained stagnant regarding player values

Nonetheless, I believe that Mcrae and Pearson will not pay more than he is worth to Hull FC.

That's said, I think the deal will be done.

Amended for accuracy. Hood is trying to appease the Bulls fans after a porr season.

Why would Bradford let him go for 50K?

Even if he is out of contract next season what is Bradford really benefitting from in letting there best player go for what is equal to a squad players wages?

If he does sign for such a low fee it will be because Bradford have respect for the players interests. Even though it may have consequences for season pass sales

I also realise he is not worth more than 50K

Maybe he made it clear to Mr Hood that that is precisely what he does NOT want to do?

That wouldnt surprise me in the slightest. I think if Andy Lynch really wanted to move this deal would be done by now.

Lets hope they can sort it. He is a quality prop and if we want to get up to the top four of the league then sometimes you have to pay a little over the odds to get these players signed. Once your actually fighting for silverware etc you can attrach OOC players on lesser terms.But we need to show we will be up their fighting.
