Well yes. Lets be honest though that situation is a freak occurrence, It's more the norm that you get one good player and another that is kept around 'just in case he ends up being as good'. I'm not saying that Johnathan Walker will defiantly fall into that category though which was why I said time will tell.
The 4xBurgess situation is astounding that all four are doing the biz as you would expect at least one of them to be poor surely.

There's probably a Zeppo or a Gummo Burgess struggling to get a game for the Dog and Duck back in Dewsbury.

On twins, T. and G. Burgess, in football the De Boers, van de Kerkhofs, Fabio and Rafael... do you get many instances of sporting twins were their brother is a chef or bank clerk, I wonder?

Lester Piggot's twin brother was a lion tamer in a circus. Still working with animals I suppose.

Good retention signing IMO but contracts mean nothing ala. Sam Tompkins, just a good excuse to tie him down for when the big guns come calling and KR are skint, do you remember Scott Taylor and Blake green ? Clubs like Wigan are cash rich with pot loads of cash to spend, they can even offer £250k for a Hull FC second choice winger ,lol

Last year I believe we where very skint this season I believe where less skint. Certainy Less skint to offer Wakefield a decent sum for Ben Cockayne and put together the makings of a decent squad for 2014.

I hope your right and good luck to KR, I hate those Pie eaters from across the hill with a vengence, super league needs a strong Hull Kr, has Ben cockend signed yet ?

He wants a 3 year deal,we want to give him 2years,but think he will end up at rovers.Probably a decent signing,seems to have got his act together,and can offer cover in a few positions.

If the information i was given last weekend is true and I've no reason to doubt it, especially given its origin, then i would it is safe too say that financially, we are not in to bad a situation next season, perhaps not in the same cash rich situation as Wigan are at the moment but still not to bad never the less.
The fact that the long awaited North stand will soon be in use will also start to generate income for the club on a regular basis.
Although there may still be some way to go in achieving what NH and the board set out to do long term , i believe that things are looking quite promising at the moment and with some announcements still to be made in the not to distant future, I'm pretty much looking forward to next season with more optimism than for some time.

Scott Taylor had a year left and refused to negotiate. Some seem to think he wanted a move that is short in distance and his agent is a certain David Howes.
HKR were apparently not going to be played for suckers so put him out to tender and Wigan came in with a nice big offer, The rest is history.
Blake Green asked the club they said yes...........Travis Burns came in shortly after. It's possible the 2 are connected.

If you mean Tom Briscoe didn't he go to Leeds for free as he was OOC?

No I was referring tom line ham second choice to crookes

It was in the papers last week some time.

I saw £150K mentioned, not 250. Regardless, it was rejected anyway.

Must have missed that then. My apologies.
