that dont mean didlly when the £££££'s are out

Tansey

Our crowds would be as small as Londons if we go from having Sam Tomkins at FB to Jordan Tansey!!

It will be Ryan Hampshire. That's why we're giving him so many games at the moment. It possibly could have been Minichiello but that move looks to have fallen through, which is a shame.

Thought you lot was fickle, but that fickle?

Maybe, but not enough to replace a player like Tomkins.

Young Hampshire looks a gem but my fear with him is that he's an out and out halfback not a fullback.

Hence why I said 1-year deal. I wouldn't for one minute think you'd have him as a long-term replacement, but he could do a job until one of your kids is ready.



Not seen a great deal of him, TBH. Big pressure to chuck him next year as first choice if Tomkins does leave, though, whether he's better as a fullback, halfback, or whatever. I've a lot of respect for your youth policy, but with all the departures confirmed and rumoured, you're starting to look a bit light in experience IMO.

A stop gap would be a must for me but he'd need to be more Minichiello then Tansey.

Fully agree about our lack of experience and it will tell. We have a chairman who's happy to let the players leave at the first sign of interest (and a transfer fee being waved at him) because he has massive faith in that youth set up. That will only work so long though because eventually you'll be left with too many juniors and nobody to lead the way.

I'm no Leeds fan but I can't help but admire how they keep that group of players together!

Problem is that those are getting very hard to come by, as evidenced by it seemingly falling through for him to stay at home. I wasn't too sure of McDonnell, but we probably signed the best fullback on the SL market last year. This year doesn't look any better TBH.



I agree, it's been a huge part of their success. I'll be interested to see if they can do it again though, or whether they got a bit lucky with the nature of Sinfield and the others, and in particular with Sinfield and his influence on the other players to stay on board.

Its not a rumour ,it is true HULL FC have appointed a New Head Coach

According to Look North, that is ...His name is Peter ???

rlrl

That was a second after Pansy Levey said "Hull FC face a semi final against Wigan in a week"

Been at work all night, what am I missing here regarding the picture of PG?

How would you pronounce that surname?

Didn't notice that! Haha

I stared at it for ages, you're not the only one

Tansey won't be going anywhere, Just signed a new 2 year extention at Cas and is very happy there. And has been one of the finds of the season as has been playing on peanuts to earn a new deal.

Signing Dorn will be to add competition for places at 1 and 6. We have said for the first time in the clubs history, The club will spend the full Salary cap and aim for a squad of 28 at least. (We usually spend about 1.2m) so thats a massive leap of faith from the Board in Daryl Powell.
