Given the strong rumours about the move, it would make sense to actually announce it - wouldnt make a bit of difference.

However, there are strong rumours that he may now be staying. Met with Gentle last Monday and said he wants to stay, Gentle said that the 3 year offer has been torn up so that isnt on the table, but we have offered a 2 year deal, on less money.

Just goes to show how desperate Hull are to keep him. They know he is quality, we know it, only person that doesn't is RG cause theres a 15 year old St Judes player on a scholarship that is the next Gaz 'Ock!

If he has gone back on the deal, expect Saints to be very unhappy.

Do they allow ugly, eye ball gouging, coke sniffing cretins at St Judes?

We all knows it goes on, but if the RFL rules say September 1st then that is what it should be when players get signed.

Look at the hassle Fozzard got when saints announced we'd signed him, he was booed.

The rumours of him staying can't be true, I know for a fact he met both brown and McManus the other Sunday and the deal was done.

Trust me, I have I ever been wrong?

Yeah but he has signed. He put a pen onto paper and squiggled his signature on the contract, he was allowed to do this because Hull gave him permission to speak to other clubs. There has been no breach in any rulings as he was given permission by his current club.
