Will Sharp put pen to paper pretty much ruling out any sort of contract offer for Hall. Calderwood may still be offered something in November if he gets himself fully fit - this may change 1) If another club make him a firm offer or 2) Hull sign another outside back.

Dowes is completely in limbo at the moment and is holding out for more money knowing that if another prop agrees a contract with Hull then his current offer will more then likely disappear.

Going back to your original claim that the Hull players will see the Radders signing as a victory in boosting their earning power I think the above would suggest not.

I don't doubt that for a minute. It wasn't Hull who I had in mind, but I know Wakey are supposed to be interested in Wheeldon. He's not pulling tress up, but everyone has a value, and if the price is right, Rovers should give him another 2 years to continue his development.

His value to Rovers may suddenly increase if other forward targets do not come off!

I would like to think Wheeldon has a future in this city because he is a good prop with the best years ahead of him but things can all change pretty quickly.

Can you provide a link to your assertion that Lee Radford's level of salary on his new contract is the same as his old one? Given that he's getting a testimonial as well, that would be a huge pay increase in real terms. Thanks.

You "accidentally" missed underlining the part which stated...it would appear so. This would indicate that the posters intention ( i.e mois ) was meant as a IMO which as far as i am aware doesn't require a link.

HTH

P.S. It would, in my defence, be that quite a lot of your own fans believe Radford has been given the deal "he" wants (and with 2 years) because one of your other targets has signed up elsewhere thus increasing his bargaining power.

It's widely known that Hull FC met the demands that Hull KR was offering radford at the 11th hour. Whether thats more or less then last season feck knows. Whats assured it's more then they where originally prepared to pay.

Correct. Bertie is claiming it's what he's on now though. Which with a testimonial would be a massive increase.
