i think i`ll reserve judgement until it`s been announced officially, as it stands all we`ve got is a story run on humberside by Gollum Lloyd.

Good signing if true. Much more preferable to Kearney.

My only fear is that this means Horne is now staying at 6 even though we were told otherwise. I still think we are after a 6 and certainly hope so. We won't challenge with Horne at 6 i'm afraid and I say that as a big fan of his.

Just heard the words "feeder club" mentioned!

Don't know why sum Rovers fans are taking the hump, we need a FB, they have one but don't want to pay him the going rate, we are so he's coming.(allegedly.)

i like the bloke spoke to him a few times and its obvios(to me) that he backed himself by taking a low salary this year, knowing the abject lack of s.l talent, he would impress and 2or 3 clubs would bid his value up good luck to the bloke its a short career earn it while you can, maybe sandy can unearth another

How long before the Rovers lot are out saying we've paid over the odds for him? Because Hudge said so.
Sad, sad people.

that would be Rovers fans who don't know what contract McDonnell will be getting trying to make themselves feel better about losing a good player to their rivals.

So do I, McDonell will hardly command a massive salary. Not bothered about an NRL 6, just one with pace and good hands, god knows who though.

This is a Hull FC fan who also probably doesn't know what contract Mcdonnell will be getting trying to make it seem like an even bigger blow to Rovers by insinuating that FC probably haven't offered that much more money than Rovers did to him.

IMO Rovers are losing a very good full back and Hull FC are gaining one but let's not pretend that as fans we have any idea of the amounts of money involved in the contracts. Its very likely that FC have offered more than Rovers but how much more, who knows?
