the cat sat on the mat

are all your 33,445 posts been on the hull board i think not

no, I'd imagine 95% of them have been split between here and The Sin Bin, occasional forays onto other sports and Virtual Terrace, one or two on other teams boards when we're signing players or due to play them.

The one thing they are not, is a constant irritation on opposing teams board bourne out of jealousy and an inferiority complex.

Jason?

Heard the Dobson rumour again today off someone different...this rumour wont go away.

nor will the Chase yes/no rumour

Sooner have Dobson than him anyway.

just because i dared to mention your post regarding dobson was poop doesnt meen im jealous and suffer from an inferiority complex why would i you will win exactly what we have ie nothing its not as if your leeds or wigan is it . ps i bet your a small man your posts smack of small man syndrome

to be fair you have had 500 pages of rumours so far surely some will come off

Apart from Pitts,Watts,Arundel,Ellis,Holdsworth,Crookes,Galea you mean

Can we keep to rumours and cut out the sniping? From, like, right now?

Good.

Terry Smirk done deal. £150k per year.

Not worth £150k though. Or anywhere near that much.

And when exactly did he do that?

Nearly every name has come from rumours. About the only target officially acknowledged prior to signing has been Chase.

Dobson wouldn't be a signing bad would it? Better than Seymour.

One of the key ingredients Hull have been missing the past few years is someone with a decent kicking game. Dobson certainly has one of those.

Hopefully just a rumour.

1. You remember incorrectly.

2. Seriously? You think that Saints only became interested in Manu because of something McRae said? Or that negotiations weren't going on in private as well?

3. You haven't given any constructive criticism.

I'm not sure. Still only 26 and would be a very good addition to the squad. He'd improve under Gentle too.

Not that he'll be signing for us though, cannot see it happening in a month of Sundays.

If A.P is willing to pay it he is worth exactly that, or if A.P thinks he has grabbed a bargain he is worth more, personally i think he would be massive for you possibly taking you to top 2 material, id be awfully sad to see him go and if he left id still think he was a cracking player

Well I'm hearing that if Chase does not get his visa we are in for Gower at London.

Rather keep Seymour if that is the case.

1. Possibly. No-one is perfect.

2. I think negotiations should only have gone on in private.

3. Its not constructive criticism to suggest that the club should keep its transfer targets under wraps until they are confirmed? Surely "slagging off" is just saying that someone is doing something wrong and suggesting a better way to do it is "constructive criticism"?

Is the Deal a straight swop ie: Seymour + ££££££ = Dobson ??

1. Definitely. Names have come from the ITK brigade on here, not from McRae or the club.

2. Just to be clear, what negotiations were done in public? Until right at the end the only thing mentioned in public is that we wanted to renew Manu's contract. Hardly earth-shattering news, was it?

3. It's not constructive criticism because you're criticising behaviour that didn't actually take place. No targets were let out from under raps except Chase - and that only because of particular circumstances. The Manu thing is a complete red herring as he was actually our player and nobody in their right mind would have thought that we wouldn't be talking to him. It's criticism based on urban myth.

This rumour threads not as good as the last 10, needs a Benji or Cronk name thrown in.

Dobson would be a great signing for you playing behind your cracking pack. Hopefully its a load of tosh, like most of these rumours end up being.

Dobson cannot tackle.

not top of the list when im looking for half backs tho lets not bother cant tackle maybe gentle could add that to his game eh?
