Hull said on the local radio,that the fee was nearer to £100k.they said the £175k quoted by the media was wrong.

Hauraki has definatly signed for Leeds, confirmed by Brent Webb today.

For a fee? If he was on decent wages at Crusaders then that could also help them out.

That will be some of the club's 'assets' the administrators were referring to!

Really sorry to lose him.

Who will take his place? Would be good to see one of the Welsh lads step up.

I'd very much doubt that there was a fee involved. When a club goes into administration all players become free agents as the club can not honour their contract and are therefore in breach of contract.

Hopefully Ben Flower can step up to the mark this year.

talk of sammut going to hull fc

Very sad indeed if the juggler heads upto Yorkshire one of the finds of 2010

Well the DSS says signings are at a record high.

Comedy at it's finest.



Almost as funny as your attempt at a signature.

O/T but what will the team be called this coming season, and where will it be based ?

Any truth in the rumour of a merger with widnes for 2012 ??



Dont shoot the messenger

No merger, Name probably Welsh crusaders based in wrexham

Thanks for that mate, i agree there should be no mergers whatsoever, it was just mooted on another forum. You stand a better chance staying in the same place and the change of name isnt as drastic as it could have been ( like broncos to quins lol ).

Good luck in most of your games next season.



Its nice to have a decent reply, unlike one of your more voiciferous members who went straight on the defensive



stay lucky

Cretin. Nothing changes I guess.

talk on our local radio of mike burnett signing for you from hull fc.plays second row.him plus cash for sammut?

I look at it this way



Sammut is incredibly talented. He is asking himself



" Who do i want to be coached by "



A former world class player who is making a real name for himself in coaching or Richard Agar ?

or he could be thinking hmm i could go to hull and play in the best stadium in super league, 13,14,15k crowds week in week out, history, tradition, challenge for trophies and top half of the league, play with top name players such as long,fitzy ect ohh and the fact he will know that he will have his wages in his bank account at end of mounth. need i go on

Crusaders going to make a move for Joel Monaghan as soon as they come out of administration apparently.

can't see it,unless joel takes a massive drop in salary.

Have Hull got a new ground ?? Because you cant possibly be referring to that soulless , no atmosphere concrete bowl they played at last year. Its not a patch on the Boulevard

The KC is a fabulous Stadium. I take it you didn't enjoy sitting in a comfortable seat, under a none leaky roof, watching Castleford getting beaten by Hull then?

Will they have any money?

Or possibly he is wondering which team will be able to pay his wages on time and where he might get his pension contributions paid.
