I heard tonight that we've pulled the plug on Chase because Finch has done a u-turn on going home.

I like that one!

It annoys me that people think Bateman and Whitehead are just gunna come to Hull because we have cash maybe they want to stay at Bradford mainly in Whiteheads case but for me Bateman will end up at Wire or in Australia. I'd be happy with Arundel, Ellis, Crookes, Holdsworth, Galea, McDonnell and AN Other and the retention of Houghton, O'Meley and Briscoe plus we also got Pitts and Watts in last season too.

chase was never going to come once we didn't sign him before the transfer deadline. I said at the time that was our one opportunity.

Re: More rumours... : Wed Sep 19, 2012 5:36 am  

3 signed in

Crookes
Holdsworth
Galea

4 more to come?
Prop (Johnson)
Halfback (Chase)
FB (Mcdonell)
Young back up half (?)

I think we where going to sign another prop, but the lack of available players meant we have (rightly) kept O Meley.

I heard about 3 weeks ago that we had approached Dobson but I dismissed it as we appeared to still be in for Chase.

As has been said, we've given up on chase. Problem after problem so we've walked away. We've offered a contract to a young half from the nrl, not sure which club or player name.

Johnson and McDonnel will be the next to be announced. Then a half and possibly another forward.

Bateman, when he leaves the bulls, will end up at hull. It was agreed for next season, subject to the bulls surving. He wants to play one more season for the bulls. I wouldn't be suprised to see him here next season.

Happy with all of that tbh.

Don't think I want that Bet, he seems to get abuse left, right and Centre!!

We have approached them for Dobson but fudge is having none of it. We have offered the most for Taylor as well, but again he's having none of it!!

Not sure if all the talk of Taylor to wigan is true either, he's another player that could wait a season before joining us in 2014. Could be way off the mark on this one, but a few things I've heard suggest he wants to come to us.

Ah the Brother can look after himself just tells us all to get fooked & he is never posting again but comes back, all part of the fun
Typical Hudge, said for year now he will be the downfall of that club!
I recall some-one posting a few months back that no way would Taylor travel to Wigan so I was surprised he was linked to Wigan, mind I heard he was Leeds bound a few weeks ago.

Re: More rumours... : Wed Sep 19, 2012 6:16 am  

As I say, with regards to Taylor, I'm not 100% sure on my information. Fudge will accept any offer apart from ours, even if its half the price!!

Its then down to Taylor to agree to the move, and from the little bits I've heard, he favours us.
