His behaviour in all this cant have been good for club morale either I wouldn't have thought, unless that has all been reconciled.

Can you still keep him and stay financially viable or does he go elsewhere, even if not to Hull?

Didn't Ian Millward say earlier this month something along the lines of "I've spoken to the board and said there's no way I want to be looking for a No 6 come October, They said plan on him (Rangi) being a Castleford player next year"?

Hull FC remind me of Leeds in the Eighties. They are throwing vast amounts of money about, trying to buy good players, but are still failing to win anything. I am not sure if Gentle is the man for the job and if Pearson thinks that he can buy success, he is mistaken.

What a stupid post!

How are we throwing money about? We've only offered a fee for Chase and that deal doesn't even look as though it's going to happen. Holdsworth came for free as did Galea, Ellis and Arundel.
We've signed alot of players for next season, but you say we've still failed to win anything so I don't get that especially when we haven't thrown money about at all.
As for Gentle he is a great coach and has done wonders with a pretty average squad.

Oh I get it Cas never really wanted to sell him but were worried about the renewal of his visa, now that Hull have possibly resolved that for them (and/or it has been resolved through his marriage), then there is no need to let him go, unless of course somebody did offer a massive fee!

Well I don't think the fat lady has started to warm up her vocal chords on this one yet, never mind bursting into song, so a few more twists and turns yet methinks!

Holdsworth had a year to run on his Salford contract didn't he? I thought a fee was paid to secure his release.

Re: Chase to Hull : Sat Sep 15, 2012 1:43 pm  

Nope, he was released from Salford by mutual agreement.

Wrongly.

Cas have lost what, 10 players for next season and that is the money that has been spent to replace players.

Perhaps AP has been frightened off, the thought of being reported for tapping up two players in a month or so may have put him in his place?

Sorry to burst your bubble - but Hull FC have paid a fee for Joe Arundel.

Only because he's under 23 or what ever the age limit is. Otherwise we wouldn't of paid a fee for him.
