Exactly, if we are wanting to build a team around the players like Holdsworth then we need someone younger than Proince!

Which I guess is unlikely when Gentle says "We are looking at a proper number seven, someone who can play the style of rugby I want us to have",

| Well Bomber said a couple of weeks ago that Miller was a no-go and I'd be fooking amazed if we could lure Prince from the Gold Coast to come to 'Ull with the contract he's on.
Prince would be the best No7 in SL bar none but I'd be much happier, and more monetarily sensible if we could lure Miller with his potential and being the right age.

| Would much prefer we sign Miller than Prince. Miller has lots of potential & is already a very good player. I think his signing with the amount of 7's available would a great signing. True he isn't a marquee signing or the big name Pearson wanted but we all know at the time these big claims were put out Pearson felt Chase was in the bag. Looking around what is available Miller could be a very shrewd signing who could be our halfback for the next 3/4 yrs and along with Holdsworth give us some much needed stability in the halfs. Something which we haven't had for far too long. People have had their expectations raised beyond previous levels due to the statements put out by the club so whoever we sign to partner Holdsworth will now seem a let down to many fans. However should Miller come then we could certainly do a whole lot worse. Prince isn't the answer & I'm sure Miller will be cheaper to allow us to move forward with a balanced squad. For once we have a coach who has a clear vision on the way he wants us to play, the type of players required to do that & an owner willing to do as much as possible although restricted by the salary cap in order to take us to the top. Having seen the impact such players as Dobson & many other players deemed not to be big names at the time when they have come over then going with Miller would excite me much more than some 30+ player coming for a last payday. One of my favourite players ever to play at Hull was Greg Mackey who was no superstar over in Australia but with a balanced squad, hard work & everyone pulling in the right direction as a club we won some silverware. Big name signings do not always lead to success take a look at Leeds in the early 90's they spent more then most yet didn't achieve too much on the pitch for all the marquee signings they rolled out. The club is trying to move forward & improve things on the pitch. The salary cap & lack of available talent has made things tough but Gareth Ellis is the biggest name import for next year & we have him so we ain't done too bad. I for one am happy to see the club striving for success, a real sense of the right attitude & culture around the place. People have short memories. We were a lot worse off with Mr Lloyd in charge not all that many years ago! Thinking about the Lloyd era what good did the marquee signing of Alan Hunte do for us back then? It was was definitely the not such a big name in Steve Prescott who gave the fans the entertainment, commitment & pride that above all is what we want to see.

| If we cannot get Miller I would be more than happy with Prince, I think Prince would be one of the best if not the best h/back in SL, and if we only get 1/2 years out of him then fair enough as the way the market is that is better than nothing.

| If Prince was to leave the lucrative 2 years he has left on the GC we'd have to pay him silly money, which he wouldn't be worth.
He's not what we want and would leave us with no running game or pace in the halves.

WTF are you going on about, all of a sudden this forum is packed with experts on prince FFA!!
If we were to sign prince he would be quite possibly the stand out half in the comp by a wide mile if it happened so give it a rest and stop banging a drum you know clearly nothing about!!!
Prince would as they say "rip it up" is SL alongside Holdsworth and thats a fact ....
he may not be a SOO quality player but then again neither is rangi chase so lets get a grip on reality here
Benji is not coming, the likes of Prince is about as good as is available right now and thus might come and would be a class act in SL!!

You wont be seeing him though will you...seeing as you arent re-newing your passes because you didnt recieve a reply to your E-mail.AP may have jumped the gun by saying what we wanted and not being able to get our targets but him and Gentle havent let us down yet with the signings have they.Could be worse...we could have signed Maty Smith and Blake Green or some herbert who has got a ban to serve when he gets here.

I would wager my IQ far outscores yours, but that isn't the point.
I have been to plenty of FC games over the years, and I continue to be a supporter, the difference is, I am not a falater.
We will see what next season brings, as I have said many times, I hope I am proven wrong, the difference is, I don't just believe everything I am told.

Are you for real? I'd wager a hefty amount that I've watched Scott Prince play a lot more than those saying he'd be 'the best half in the league'.
Wind your neck in, he's the Aussie Sean Long (playing wise).

you must have a much higher IQ than me Standee, after all the years you have spouted being an expert at this and that, or having worked in this industry or that profession, you know you have more hats than Mr Ben and more experience in any given discussion point than almost everyone on this forum.
You are also very modest .... and lovable... like a new puppy

But we wouldn't get the Pre FC Longy, we'd get the at FC Longy, that's my point.
