Arrgh, beat me to it gekko.
We would be foolish to let him go, Whelham and Ratu in the centres would have oppositions quaking in their boots...

Yeah, just read that, thre seem to be mixed signals coming out of CP, or is it just the HDM's usual standard of journalism?.

I think you may have it the nail on the head with the HDM reference, HDM make more bog roll than andrex.

so if there both staying then who are we looking at in the Halfs?

Maybe we're looking for a British half back then. To be honest, thats the route I'd go down unless we can sign better players than Galea and Webster, which I very much doubt.

Rovers will be signing another British centre IMO.

A local one?

Thought you had electronic turnstyles now

how come this guy picks up a knock in every tackle?

Pretty sure i havent seen one game were Jake hasnt gone down on 1 knee after a tackle, at weekend he went one better - he did that AND went down with knowone around him!

Wild or shenton?

Jake is a bit injury prone at the moment, is it a risk to sign him up again knowing this. Give the lad his due, he was great in defence yesterday and he carried to ball out of the in goal a few times when a drop out usually ensues.

If we do sign him up, we need to look at how many games we are likely to get out of him and adjust his contract accordingly, if he cannot agree to this we need to look elswhere (not Hall either IMO).

I don't think he's physically robust enough for centre. Yes he's a big lad but he seems a bit frail beneath the all the muscle. He would probably be in the dream team if he played on the wing where his physical limitations would not be exposed so much.

I'd be happy to see him go after this season, overall, for me, he's not done it consistently, spends too much time on the treatment table and not enough tries scored when he is on the pitch. Not good value from a quota player.

Took this from the Hull site, thinks's it's from a RL rumour site, good chance it's a load of rubbish but worth a read anyway.

Here is the latsest tranfer rumours from the rumour mill.
Kevin Penny (Warrington) - Wakefield
The lightning fast winger who is currently on loan at Harlequins is rumoured to be on his way out of the Halliwell Jones in the search for regular first team action. Wakefield are the team in question surrounding the 21-year old, with the papers claiming he would develop into a better player under John Kear.

Craig Hall (Hull FC) - Hull KR
Having played with Craig at amatuer level and attending school with him, we have many contacts with the 22-year-old and we can confirm that Hall has signed a 2-year deal with Hull Kingston Rovers.

The out of favour winger or centre was always bound to join the club his father David Hall played over 300 games for between 1970-85.

Luke Patten (Canterbury Bulldogs) - Huddersfield
The Giants are still in search for a replacement since Brett Hodgson was confirmed leaving for Warrington back in April, and Huddersfield may have just found they're man.

Full back Patten has spoken numerous times about his desire to try his hand in the Super League, and the 30-year old former City Vs Country player looks set for a move to West Yorkshire.

Andy Powell (Cardiff Blues) - Crusaders
The rugby union based back row forward has been subject to many rumours in Wales that Brian Noble has sealed him as his next player before the end of the season.

The 28-year old Cardiff Blues and Welsh international has been in contact with another recent dual-coder, Gareth Thomas, who has spoken high words regarding the code.

Jake Webster (Hull KR) - Castleford
With quota player Mitchell Sargent departing the Tigers at the end of the campaign, the club has a spare quota available and it looks like Webster could be arriving to replace another rumoured out-going player in Michael Shenton, with an English based prop forward signing shortly after.

Adam Blair (New Zealand Warriors) - St Helens
With a handful of prop forwards leaving Knowsley Road at the end of the campaign, Adam Blair's name has popped up in a number of Aussie based papers, claiming the 24-year old kiwi international will join the Saints on a two-year deal alongside Manly's Josh Perry.

Maurie Fa'asavalu (St Helens) - Salford
The 30-year old former samoan rugby union international is rumoured to be leaving the club at the close of the campaign and Salford City Reds is his likly destination.

The poweful prop forward who has played over 150 games for the Saints hasn't had much form under head coach Mick Potter.

Iafeta Paleaaesina (Wigan) - Bradford
The hard-hitting and powerful prop forward is under the chopping board under Michael McGuire's Wigan, with rumours close to the club suggesting a fall-out between the player and coach.

Having been dropped from first team action in-favour of youngster Chris Tuson, the out-of-contract player is on his way out, with Bradford making enquiries regarding his signiture.
