...our noisy neighbours.
It was confirmed this morning that a deal is almost done and McDonnell will sign a 2 year deal to join Hull FC.

Looks like we're defo in the market for a fullback.

Should make for an interesting Friday night after the reception he received after the rumour about leaving for Cats.

Confirmed where?

Radio Humberside this morning, said he was near completing a deal to move to Hull FC.

why start a new thread?

Does somebody want to be a mod?

Just heard it, substantial? Cheers Gollum.

Wes naquima it is then to be honest I don't think sandercock shud play him on Friday night as it will upset the players obviously fc have paid a lot more money for him let him go now that's what I say don't want it disrupting the rest of the season.

And letting him go now wouldn't disrupt the season?

No why wud it I don't think it's fair on booing Shannon I certainly wudnt be but there are a lot of idiots in the east stand who would, Mcdonnell has done wat he's wanted to do and got himself a better deal and I dont blame him it's up to our coach and board now to find a full back replacement I wud put hall there in all honesty.

Because you wouldn't have a FB.

He's signed a year deal, what do the "idiots in the east stand" expect him to do? Just sign any offer from Hkr?

It's not just a fact he only signed a year deal it's the fact that he has signed for FC I know u live in Aus Sheldon but surely you still know what all this means to certain fans I totally agree with u and rovers shud ave offered him what he's worth unless..... Fc are so desperate for a full back they ave paid him stupid money and rovers are already in for another player no one will ever know, I just hope that he doesn't get booed but he will.

Don't agree with either booing him or releasing him early. That would be a stupid move which would only benefit our rivals.


At the end of the day. We've paid for a season of Shannon and that's what we'll get. Just the way it goes sometimes. It goes without saying bringing in a quality replacement must be a priority for the close season however.

Exactly however, rovers are revealing no signings at all for next season
