Manu is a beast. i would go sex wee in my pants if we signed him

I wonder whether this pony tail has grown back yet?!?!?

Only joking... Manu would be good. I'll believe these signings when they start getting announced. Until then my excitement is tempered a little.

Let's get some of our lads announced in the interim. Flynn, Varks and the exciting youngsters.
Hulme, Craven, Gore etc..

Jeff Robson who was in talks with an unamed UK club is now joining Cronulla from Parramatta!

Any SL based half backs available... Sean Long is the only that comes to mind tbh as can't see anyone else! And with Jamie Ellis signing for Hull not sure any in Champ are good enough / at the right age to take up from elsewhere?

Re: 2012 rumour mill : Wed Jun 01, 2011 7:52 am  

Though in star wars fashion.., there is another...

Surprising to me but apparently Tim Smith (ex Wigan {but don't try and link it}) actually wants a return to SL! He has his issues but is still at a good age and certainly has the talent and if he WANTED to be over here it could work out.

Robson joining Cronulla could back his departure too... They also have John Morris (playing 9 but natural half back) who could be an option but his new found versatility could keep him in NRL I reckon.

Lauaki & Manu from Hull FC have been mentioned.

Lauaki is a maybe, but not sure I would waste a quota spot on him.

Not a chance of Manu, one of our best players and signed on for another year.

Players at Hull OOC that might interest you.

Phelps.
Washbrook.
Burnett.

just a thought, ive always thought he could be brilliant if he wasnt in a team as weak as the dodgy cheap booze in toppers. Luke Gale? could he be tempted from the rugby league powerhouse of quins? i would certainly investigate that is if was in charge. but then again, im not.

How did Hull sign Ellis when I thought there were rules surrounding approaching players??

Don't worry one of your fans e-mailed RFL within 0.2 secs of appearing in Hull press

I'm not surprised at that TBH ,i think all of us are a little more touchy than usual at the moment.
No one seems to be kicking up a fuss a the club so i guess hull went through the right channels.
