He missed a couple of tackles that led to tries yesterday, so if he does sign hell fit in well.

Another Ginger!

(Disclaimer : I like Gingers, and don't intend to upset any, I was merely pointing out that there are already quite a few red heads in the Red and White jersey!)

thought he had a decent game yesterday

Wasn't it Shannon McDonell with the quick flick to Welham first.?

Yeah but it was welhams quick thinking to give it to hodgey also thought hall
Had a great game

That play from McDonell was absolute magic. As good as any piece of play during the game.

Thought Gleeson had a good game on Sunday, took his try very well.

Never noticed him too much before and has been at a few clubs, still young enough to make an impact though.

I'd welcome the signing of Gleeson.
Very solid player and got a bit of class about his game too.

Improved a lot this last year or so. Good cover/competition for the backs. Whilst admittedly not in the same class when fit and on top form, probably cost a fraction of what's been paid to Webster or McDonnell as well.

McDonnell is on peanuts, easily the lowest wage in our back line. That's why he wants out, the offer we made him was insulting for someone of his growing stature.

To be fair to Mcdonnell he's now showing us what he can do surely they cud revisit an approach to offer him more surely were not that skint our loss is someone elses gain a decent full back is dire for us

Why did he take it then?

Probably just on crumbs before us.

It was all we had under the cap (the money originally intended for Taulapapa you'd assume), he wanted to see how he settled, prove himself and maybe get in the shop window was what I took from his HullKRTV interview. Where it's been suggested he's not happy, my guess, is that he was promised an improved deal if he did well, and what we (the club) and he understood by 'improved' was at relations-straining variance.
