Bateman on twitter doesn't sound like a player leaving.
He is looking forward to free curries after games.

After just listening to Shaun McRae on Airlie Night, Aug 29th, it would very much seem that the issues surrounding the signing of Chase, is with getting the deal done with Cas. It all seems to be around contract issues rather than the Visa, of which there is no mention.

He also said they (Hull FC) are extending the deadline for an extra week or longer, if it seems that a deal can be done.

Erm no hes not

I trust the guy who's told me and think he'd be a decent signing but if you heard different I guess we'll see

I'm not holding my breath for next Tuesday, as an Arsenal fan if this transfer deadline day has anything to go by and knowing my luck the actual players AP & PG announce next Tues will be way off what we have all been hoping for!



PS I have no inside info...just a bit pesimistic!

I'm normally very optimistic but after the inevitable that the Bulls are confirmed in SL for 2013 it could mean the rumoured Bateman and or Whitehead will stay at Bradford.

Also, if it's not 100% sorted with Rangi and we miss out on him aswell then it could be too late and were left with all the average players again.

Guilfoyle added: "I am really pleased that we were able to retain the playing squad without selling off young stars - which in the end was a crucial decision to achieve the sale.

NO ONE can argue with that team, the crowds should come flocking back to the KC

Think there's going to be loads of egg on face plus disappointed dilluded fans.

Personally, after reading all the latest posts i am smiling but also laughing.. AP and PG have been great all year. But been a hull fan all my life, when it comes to transfer target 9/10 we dont get the big names in question.

Ellis is a bonus, its a done deal. But I'm waiting for Sept 4th for the announcements before believing anything.. IMO

Re: Rumours.... : Sat Sep 01, 2012 1:22 am  

Still don't buy the Bateman and Whitehead ones. I don't see how we could have paid a fee without new owners being in place. Deal with Bateman is agreed but I understood it was dependant on the Bulls outcome.

Done...

McDonnell
Crookes
Holdsworth
Johnson

Leaves us needing a prop, backrow and a half.

Possibles...

Chase
Bateman/Whitehead
Amor/Taylor

Still not convinced on Chase, Bulls players now don't need to leave, don't see us getting Amor and Johnson and Taylor is hard due to Hudgell.

It won't be amazing news next week and it won't be bad news. I expect it to be somewhere Inbetween.

Re: Rumours.... : Sat Sep 01, 2012 2:46 am  

I hope we wasn't relying on the Bradford situation for a couple of contracted players.

We did it a few ago with wakey and Solomona and it didn't work, saying that I think the fact that we missed out on him, meant we signed Manu who has been a much better player.
