James Smailes just said that (in the spirit of the new open club we support) Shaun McRae is in the paper tomorrow talking about his dissapointment, what they are doing to ensure it never happens again and the internal investigation that is in progress as to what actually happened. If anyne is spot balled for it I wouldn't want to be in their shoes! Its good that rather like the announcement the other day about how many more players we were after and what position we were targeting and that we were looking in Aus. there is a deal more openness around these days.

What he said.

Ain't that the truth? It's a full-time job keeping up these days. The only thing missing is a Twitter feed that tells us when AP's going to the toilet.

It is great, we the fans are now starting to actually feel part of our club instead of the people who just throw our hard earned cash at it...
I know we have only just finished our season but I am genuinely so excited about next season, not felt like this for a few years...we will rock that stadium!

If he doesn't want to play for us, fine, let him go.

Ordinarily I'd be mighty cheesed off with this.

But with the new spirit of optimism at the club, I don't feel too bad.
Part of me even thinks his decision may come back to haunt HIM in the next few seasons.


It's a Brave New World these days.

Why is everyone saying its a massive blow?? He is a decent player but I have seen a few players at 18's and 21's that are looking more promising and that have performed better than him. He is a decent player and I give the kid credit for getting into the position that he is in because getting to play from the age of 17 is a great achievement. I bet half of you haven't even seen him play though. A lot of you are devastated just because he is a Briscoe. Wish him all the best for the future. We do need to be giving the youngsters more of a chance this season. Up the FC!

Well said.
Most people are disappointed the names gone, not the player.

If he wants to go and play for Leeds, he can fook off to Leeds!

Good riddance and see ya!

His choice, his future and maybe his mistake.

I've only seen him twice and his natural ability was clear to see and the club have waxed lyrical over him internally for sometime. I'm sure we'll see him turn out for Leeds in years to come. Our mistake is their gain. It happend, and im sure it wont happen again.

Im not that fussed, personally, as we now have two very good young 'uns who can compete for the number 6 for years to come: Nicklas and Ellis. And I'm sure our youth situation will improve immensely under the stewardship of Mcrae and Pearson.

In sport tmrw: Shaun McRae says #HullFC must not lose a talent like Luke Briscoe again as inquest begins into how he was snatched by #Leeds.

It a shame, but Leeds where tipped off about his availability from an "outside source" I reckon we all know who that is.

The person responsible for his none signing this end will be looking for another job sometime soon, I think I KNOW WHO THAT IS AS WELL............
