I really want a british half so it has to be Brough and Holdsworth for me. Chase will just be trouble imo

I believe we have made an approach to crabtree after the paea deal fell through, not signed yet though.my personal opinion is that it won't happen,but stranger things have happened!!

Oopsy!

big fish little pond comes to mind!

Only confusing thing is we were told 6 done and 1 or 2 to do, one of which was Paea. If we are now trying for two halves then we have gone for an extra half above a prop. Unless there is another deal to do? Or a prop was in the original 6?

Also Horne to fullback is interesting as still rumours that we've signed a fb.

heard somethinh on crabtree, now he has had his testimonial he could be looking elsewhere

Must be nice to be able to post on there.

very insecure over on that board! must be disheartening having their squad fall apart!

That mod lost his marbles. His PMs were just too funny

Re: Rangi Chase.
From what I understand he has been refused a visa. This is because, since his last visa was approved, he has earned himself a conviction for GBH. This will still be the case in 6 months and beyond, and is likely to stop him getting another British visa.
It's unfortunate for Hull that his inability to get a visa means he is unable to change employers. However, it might be more unfortunate for Cas who may have a big problem should Chase need to renew his visa before the end of his current contract.
Edit - his only options may be Catalans or NZ Warriors as the Australians are more strict than the UK with regards to visas.

We made 250K making the CC final in 2008, its the biggest money spinner in the game as you have weeks to sell merchandise and tickets before it.

So lets say for arguments sake that Chase gets his visa in 2 weeks
When would the announcement of his signing be made?
