You say Bout goading and top trumps but when you claim the likes of Brown, Wynne and Kershaw are young prospects I’m sorry but you lost any debate on that statement alone. The likes of Hardaker, Sezer, Holmes and Rapana have been signed to pass on valuable experience to the young players coming through and won’t block the path of progression. Signing the likes of Wynne, Kershaw and now Ruan blocks the path of any potential talent you may have.

brown and wynne are very much still prospects, lets not backtrack now, youre gonna end up regretting ti like hadley and litten

Have you got someone who looks after you?

Connor Wynne, at 23 years old, is still a prospect?

I'm going to have to disagree with the Labour Government and say we are clearly not winning the war on drugs.

Why would Hull regret letting Hadley go? He couldn't get in the team when he was here. He had Sika Manu, Minichiello, Washrook all in front of him. Similar with Abdull who had Sneyd, Kelly and Connor in front of him.

Litten you could make a case for, but Peters hardly trusts him either. Preferred Parcell the last 2 seasons and he's brought in Leyland and Mcillorum this off season.

I wouldn't say we regret losing Litten and Hadley at the time neither were close to being regular first team players.

Hadley had Mark Minichiello (international captain) Sika Manu (international captain) Frank Pritchard (international captain) and Gareth Ellis (one of the best forwards in the world) in front of him so his chances were limited to say the least, he also had a lot of niggling injuries but was always solid at Hull but couldn't get a look in and ended up on loan at Wakey.

Litten was behind Houghton (vice captain, Man of steel and double challenge cup winner) who played 80 minutes nearly every week and hardly ever missed a game.

I'm glad they've both made decent careers out for themselves it's always good to see our youth do well even if it's not always with us.

Wynne could be decent but needs to find a position and get a run at super league level. Brown unfortunately isn't big enough to become a top line prop.

Think you need to ease off the glue if you seriously think Brown or Wynne are young prospects let’s not forget you also classed Kershaw as a young prospect

. The facts are signings of the likes of Wynne, Kershaw & Ruan hamper rather than enhance your squad and more than likely hamper the progress of youth coming through.

I have no issue with Hadley going or Litten at the time as neither were going to get a regular spot in the 17 so certainly have no regrets on those two.

As for let’s not back track now……. I haven’t nor will I back track but you have proven by digging your heels in your belief thaf Brown, Wynne & Kershaw are young prospects……..



I seriously doubt you will get many FC fans agreeing that Brown or Wynne or prospects in any shape or form.

I suggest you put the glue down, step away from your keyboard and get some fresh air.

Referring to drug taking, it’s abit of funny mate and banter clearly it’s getting to you, end of conversation ta ta

Try again,this time in English

Think the translation is: I've been made to look a right plonker so now I'm going to disappear.

The Dobbins have a recent inflated sense of importance. Shame they haven’t got an inflated sense of intelligence.

Shows you the standard they must operate under on their secret forum.

I’ll comment one more thing mate, it’s light hearted conversation purely based of speculation/opinion nothing more, nobody’s ’been made to look a plonker’ as again it’s guesswork

But when referring to drugs etc I think that’s when things get a little bit too far, you get to enjoy the back and forth and somebody takes the plunge into trying to take it to the next level, think we’ll just leave this one where it is

Bye then…

You really like to stretch the bounds of reality don’t you, no one mentioned drugs or the taking of them.

As for banter????? You lack any credibility with your belief about the young prospects you named then mentioned back tracking. It certainly isn’t getting to me





By the way I’m not your mate either, I have standards

Any chance we can get back to talking about Hull FC?

Thank for that. Ta da.

Thread derailed , 6 pages of playground squabbling.....

[size=150[uWho cares about Hull KR????, [/u[/size

if anyone cares,do everyone a favour and comment on their forum....
thanks.

To get back on topic, if we are in a situation to make a play for Liam Byrne for 2026 (now all above board this month) I wonder if we are hoping to use that to get a deal done and then try and leverage that to let us take him a year early for 25, maybe with a small fee.

I’m making some big assumptions there, the biggest that he’d have any intention of leaving Wigan for Hull, but there’s usually no smoke without fire with these things. They have an embarrassment of riches in the front row and you’d assume be tight on the salary cap, we have salary cap space and need a middle. Wigan don’t seem like a club that will be forced into doing anything they don’t want but if his long term future is elsewhere they might want to invest and re-jig their cap with someone who is.

I think you're making the right choice. You don't want to be on here and we also don't want you to be on here, so I think its time for all the faithful to put you on ignore.

Don't agree. Nothing matter with banter except it can get out of hand.
Also thought a mistake letting Hadley go at the time.Nearly all thre players blocking his progress departed soon after

But we replaced them all with Josh Jones, Manu Mau, Andre Savellio - hindsight and all that but I think the club knew we needed to replace the back row and had these lined up as they only saw Hadley as a squad player. Same as i think with Litten, signed Jordan Johnstone, so didn't see him as a long term 14 or replacement for Houghton.

Balmforth signed for them 2026 I've heard...

Hasn't this rumour done the rounds the last 2 or so seasons

Mourgue signed for rovers for 2026 apparently, good signing for them, although surprised he's leaving Catalan
