King would be a great signing if he could get his 2005 form back.

Alternatively, the only thing confirmed is that Gareth Ellis is coming and Bowden has been retained, I think.

Well there is that.

Would make my life quieter and no mistake

Not long till we reach 100 pages. I think we should declare a rumour-free week after that.

it would be great to have an "ignore anyone who joined in the last 2 months" option or an "ignpre anyone under 25 and can't handle their beer", al, we wont, oh, and an "ignore the usual people ho claim to be in the know", but we'd be a moderator down.

Rumours are fine, even fun on occasions however I think they should be on the rumour thread. Every time a new thread pops up lately it is the same shiite different day.

Are you suggesting it's not an abolute fact that half the squad are leaving and we're going to replace them with only 4 players? Where do you get these crazy notions from? We're almost into May, our squad for 2013 is already finalised, obviously.

FFS, I've seen more of the stuff. So to summarise, we have a combination of OOC players we want to keep wanting out, some contracted played wanting to go home, other clubs eyeing up others, and Gentle wanting rid of most of the rest. I think I've got most of themthat[/i good anyway.
Tickle - Saints going to buy him, apparently.
Heremaia - we're going to pay him off because of his injury.
Whiting - OOC, but we'll probably only offer him a renewal as a last resort, as we can't really see where he'll get a game, even with a squad of less than 20 next year.
O'Carroll - another we'll get rid of because of his injuries due to a clause in his contract.
Moa - another going back home.
Turner - another scab off to Saints. This time it's a monumental loss though, because he's played well for a month and a half in 2 and a half seasons.
Ellis - packing him off to Cas because he's rubbish.
Lyne - looking like first choice fullback for next year, even though he actually is rubbish.
Aspinwall - OOC, but we might retain him to play in the 10 games he could be fit for next year.

So we're looking at a squad next year of Yeaman, Horne, Houghton, Lynch, Westerman, Lyne, Crooks, Cunningham, Bowden, Pitts, Lineham, Ellis, Arundel, Johnson, Crookes, and maybe Sharp, Whiting, Aspinwall, Kent, and Nicklas. And possibly Benji Marshall.

Seymour? there's a new one.

Fly on the wall locked thread. It really is beyond ridiculous, now.

There's not just rumours in Hull.

A West Tigers fan I know is adamant Chris Heighington and Tim Moltzen are following Gareth Ellis to Hull.

Makes sense with our fullback and 2nd rowers all f**king off, apparently.
