No thats fair enough.
My point is that others may be of the opinion that even though MW (I'm sick of typing his name) hasn't intentionally wrongly dropped SM (Ditto) in it (If MW is wrong) he has unintentionally dropped him in it so he is still somehow partially responsible due to him going with the story.

Folks being responsible (Again I dont think he is) doesn't have to mean they meant or intended it.
I could go out tomorrow and accidently hurt someone that doesn't mean I meant or intended it but that doesn't stop me being responsible for it either.

You would have to assume that MW had been told the above by someone that he trusts knows their stuff on this. Such someone would have to be from Hull KR/FC or player/player's representatives. It be careless from him/RH if there wasn't a creditable source telling him this. The potential upset this story could/has created, would certainly have to be weighed up from RH side.

For clarity if the news was true, you would have to doubt it would come from within anyone at Rovers. The same would probably apply to anyone in the McDee camp, given the furore it seems to have created. FC don't really lose out either way. Again, if it was true the denials from all parties involved could suggest that this was (and is) to be kept quiet. If there was an agreement along those lines, all concerned should've tried to at least keep one of the two local media outlets quiet. Either way, I doubt anyone from HKR is particular happy with RH whether this is true or not.

All ifs and buts really innit. It looks highly likely that he's got a future @ Rovers beyond this season, despite some posters claims. The only certainty is we gave McD permission to speak to other clubs and he'd be foolish not to look at all options. We'll see.

Also, if he does actually return to Aus. The poster who confirmed this when he rejected an 18month phone contract because he was always going home - was bang on the money.

Let's be honest though, he broke an absolute non story.

He should have waited for the contract to be signed (not about to be signed)therefore negating the chance of it not happening and him then looking like a fool.

You mean like Gollum did with Cooke? Not Humberside's way as you lot delighted in last time.

Yes quite clearly the same

Even if it does turn out to be a false alarm, this has been useful practice for when it does inevitably happen in the future. And I think it has exposed a degree of emotional unpreparedness. While Hull were an established SL team and we were new boys, the traffic was always likely to be in one direction. This is our sixth season in the top flight and we have to realise that players are going to be moving in both directions from time to time and this does not herald the end of the World.

If you are really disappointed, here are some useful phrases that will hide it from Hull fans and in no way make you look like a jealously sulking infant celebrating a sibling's birthday gifts with a massive screaming fit:

'He played his best rugby for us'
'He regrets it now'
'He wanted more than he was worth'

He's got a girls name.

His eyes are too close together.

His head is weird pointy shape.

He never signed his contract.

He smells like koalas

He's an ageing aussie journeyman

[sizejust for Neil HFC that[/size

He looks like Quagmire from family guy.

They ing stink!
