Spoke too soon, Barnabus the cuddly - that was very gracious and well-balanced of Darth.

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

He looks like Quagmire from family guy.
