My friend said Gentle was the one who signed him for the reserves, and apparently the young half we are after is highly rated by PG could be our man sounds like he has got potential

just putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5. Like some have said though, passport / visa probably an issue.

The main issue for me is having a back up as promised. I for one do not think Seymour is good enough for a team wanting a top 4 finish.

Completely agree.
I do not get this keep Seymour,as Biggarr has said,he is not a top half super league scrumhalf.
I can not believe that AP came out with the statement re two new half backs next season,as the ones we have are not good enough, without PG being in agreement.
If we do not have a back up in place,both AP and PG will have lost a lot of credibility in my eyes.

Jacob Miller is staying at Wests, they pulled out of signing Drinkwater because he changed his mind about staying.

I'm sure Benji or Farah said this on tv.

+1

Unless we sign either,Brough,Dobson,Dureau,or Burrows. I'll be underwhelmed on the basis of AP's comments.

Seymour isn't great, but surely he's better than some reserve grader from Oz?

Exactly.. I thought AP wanted to do all he could to get bums on seats and passes sold. Ellis is a awesome signing who will be a great replacement for Manu but is he the cherry on top of the cake, nope I don't think so. Chase or similar would make the difference and get us playing more exciting Rugby and winning games with a fantastic attack... This is the sort of player we need to work with Holdsworth (the best No6 since Cookie)

No disrespect to Galea, Arundle or Sharpe all decent signings, but as I've said above non of them are gonna make the missing fans think wow I best get a pass for 2013.

Here's hoping the remaining signings are a little bit exciting and create a major buzz, not only on here but get fans from other clubs sit up and take note of Hull FC in 2013. COYH.

So you think this West Tigers Half back would be in the top four Half backs in super league?

Once again, for the hard of thinking, nobody ever said we'd be signing one (or more) of the top 4 half backs in SL.

I'm fairly sure they'll get over it.

What comments?

And it's BURROW. FFS.

Not too disheartened at the moment about the half back situation - I might not be very well connected as some seem/claim to be but bad news tends to be revealed after a good day to soften the blow and it's unlikely we'll have a better day than last Sunday (never say never about this Saturday, but odds are against us).

So is no news good news at the moment? Would be a perfect antidote to leaving the playoffs by announcing a good signing...
