I think a national newspaper making an announcement about a confirmed signing is more then a "silly rumour" Paul.

NOTW has silly rumours in it every week. So on a Sunday Hull should have to rush in and deny the story? Not in my world they don't.

Fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion.

Burnetts a better player and Fitzgibbon is a better player and goalkicker.

They haven't really qualified the article to cover themselves with a 'believed to', or 'our sources tell us' It says he has signed for Warrington. I'm sure we'll find out one way or another tomorrow.

Equally they don't quote anyone, so it could be rubbish.

1st there is no longer a 'culture' of anything under Tony Smith at Wire so if he comes here and has a little drinky-poo night before match day he'll find himself not playing.
2nd correct me if im wrong but doesn't tickle play nearly 80 mins every week ? that is some going for a forward and a testament to his fitness but equally maybe a reason for his dip in form.
At wire he'd be a 50-60 minute player decreasing chances of burn out.

Spot on, a back row consisting of Burnett, Fitz, Manu, Lauaki, Washy and Whiting doesnt need a Danny Tickle.

exactly

we've hardly got a 2nd rower shortage...

Tickle is average, had a great year in 2007, but has got steadily worse since then, and he is always subject to off the field rumours.

so not bothered if he goes to be honest

On the Sportshull site now saying its basically a load of .

Hull coach Richard Agar today told the Mail: "This is just paper talk and I think the story has been picked up off a message board or somewhere like that."

This must surly mean Thackray wont be to far behind him ..

aren't fussed about him leaving either, he's a shadow of the player he was in 2005

Correct.

I dont think many will be.
