I hope it's not the same source as your Rangi info mate!

The latest HDM article quoting Gentle re the halfback school and the game having more than the physical dimension is so refreshing to hear. For years we've been a "thick" team with little or no intelligence. He clearly sees that it's essential to have a brain as well as a heart. What a difference too in attitude towards the halfback position from one Shaun McRae who said as our coach that in the modern game you didn't need a natural 7! That "utility" attitude that developed probably 10 years ago is what has left our game with such a shortage of creative halfback talent. PG is going to be this club's best signing in years.

You can only applaud the club for trying to solve a problem we've had for years , Especially when there's meagre pickings around. I just hope Prince & Holdsworth stay fit long enough to strike up an exiting partnership which I'm looking forward to seeing.

Are you Scott Prince, Peter Gentle or Shaun McRae?

If not, how would you know. It's a pointless post without back up.

Why do people bother with this kind of criticism? It's a rumours thread, not a fact thread, and the bloke has posted something he's been told. Nobody is obliged to believe it.

What's 'pointless' is criticising people for posting rumours on a rumours thread, or demanding said rumours come with 'back up'.

Might be AP or Tony Sutton #justsaying

I really hate it when you post something and someone replies

"Link please"

As if everything can be found on the Internet!

Have you a hotline to PG and SMc or something ?

Agreed. Beats me why people read a thread clearly labelled 'rumours' and then criticise people for posting rumours. Even highly plausible rumours.

Only stating what I've been told, it's no wonder people stop coming on here with the amount of bells around

How many times were we told by "those in the know"

Chase was a done deal
Bateman / whitehead was a done deal
Brought was a done deal
Galea was definately not signing for us?

Don't bother looking back, but it was a lot. It's people trying to let on they know more than they actually do. It's taking a 50/50 punt.

By definition of your own post, your criticism of my post is a degree of double standards on your part.

The Prince situation is no longer a rumour as the club have openly stated their intent.

Within the countless rumours threads there has been posting of players names simply as they were OOC. That's hardly a rumour that Hull were interested.

To Diogenes, at what point did I ask for a link on the net? I asked for some form of back up to the statement. To even make it mildly plausible would you not expect some basis of assumption?

It beats me why the mods allow a thread to evolve over months which has so much evidence of out and out lies. That specific player threads get locked or merged into the serial rumours threads means reading it becomes the only way of following possible signings.

As stated earlier, Prince is hardly a rumour when the club have confirmed their interest.

Beats me why you criticise my criticism.

If you like a good rumour, how about this one. I "heard" that a certain SL coach would be delighted to see some of our senior players on the team sheet due to their level of predictability. He "apparently" said he was amazed Hull actually won as many games as they did during 08-11 due to the lack of creativity.

Of course, only what I heard

Unopposed.What do you expect they are hull supporters.!
