I think it was already a known issue, but Rule has said that McRae is going to take steps to make sure "it never happens again"

anyway, he's gone, nothing we can do about it now.

Saw him play for the u-20s after being promoted from the u-18s and he had a good game but there was other players on view who was better.Dont forget,we also have Danny Nicklas back for next season as well.Briscoe is a good prospect but if we had lost Crooks or Nicklas,they would have been bigger losses.

From the press release on the Hull FC Site

"Leeds Rhinos are understood to have been informed externally of the expiration of this deal and made a subsequent offer of their own which the player has since agreed terms on"

Kath?????

Something iffy gone on here...he was in talks with us then legs it once Leeds comes in...shows you where his loyallty lies then doesnt it.

One thing Mcrae did during his first term at the club was sort out the youth policy which I'm sure he will do again.
As for this false loyalty to Agar if the players can't see the club is being revitalised under AP and if they don't share his vision, then your welcome to leave.

Over hyped due to his surname and fast tracked too early in his career.

Also mike burnett and lee williams released, not too bothered but wasnt williams sposed to be a good un. Reckon burnett probly wasnt quite good enough, too slow for a 2nd row and too small for a prop, but would be good for quins if he stopped there tho

The writing was on the wall for Williams once we signed Ellis.

Clearly Kath.

But she's history now, so not going to dwell on that. At least we won't be giving Leeds youth team match practice/experience so they can fit into SL for them or others now

A legacy of an arrangement would should never have been allowed in the first place I am afraid...though most fans were in 'denial' at the time!

So 'pillow talk' has effectively cost Hull FC one of its best prospects? Sad!

It was always wrong that the Hethrington's held sensitive contract information about players from two clubs - it should never be allowed to happen again!

Allegedly it cost us Chris McKenna and we got Colin Best instead, so it wasn't all bad

Even though he is contract expired, will there be any fee payable???

It's not being dramatic at all, the club needs to keep it's best 17yo's, they are the future and are far more important than the next has been from overseas.

Just how many players have we lost out on due to the Hetherington's pillow talk we'll never actually know but agree with others this should not be allowed to happen again.

Thankfully she's gone and we now have someone who is actually interested In Hull Fc winning
