How narrow minded and naive. In fairness, I didn't know about his ABH crime but to say all violent crimes are of equal severity is simply stupid.

Yep, and if they leave we'll bring two new props in whose salaries may-be on a par with what we pay these two now.

Which bit of CONVICTED TWICE are you missing?

The guy is trouble

A violent crime is a violent crime! So you consider me naive because you believe some violent crimes are not as bad as others, maybe he only slapped him 'eh

No-one has any right to physically harm another person, nothing naive about that.

ok so what were people expecting already said the salary cap was almost spent , give the man a chance and stop whining everyone seems to beleive every signing is going to be an international we are not in the class of warrington yet . we got rid of most things people whinged about so get a grip on reality , having said that the signing came out the blue all those in the know (not)

Also, the mail seems to answer whose signing this was Quote: When we looked at the balance of the side we felt we needed a player who was versatile that could play in the back row but also in the middle of the park for us, "Buoyed at finally getting his man, McRae says Aspinwall is a player that has been on Hull's radar for some time. "When we looked at the balance of the side we felt we needed a player who was versatile that could play in the back row but also in the middle of the park for us," McRae told the Mail. "Martin was on our radar and is always a player I have liked.'" - www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... story.html

I thought this was a wind up when I got a text a few minutes ago. I'm struggling to think of anything positive to say about it.

I've not read the thread so far, has HullWhiteStar seen the news yet?

...check your posting history you are indeed a hypocrite

At the time I was'nt aware he had two incidents.

Still willing to give his a chance to prove himself on the pitch.

I'm not bothered about his past; he's done his time.

I'm bothered about the fact that he is not good enough.

We pay off Obst a quota player and sign Aspinwall.

So we'll go into next season with no cap space but an unfilled quota spot.

Rubbish, aspinwall isn't in the same league as Ferguson and Fulton.

I don't remember wishing we signed an average, injury prone, trouble off the field player released by a club struugling for players and finished lower than us.

Only good point is that him and Martin are on one year deals.

maybe didn't word it right, but I was refferring to the people you were accusing of hypocrisy.
