Some of the rumours on that Hull FC forum are absolute genius. Signature material.

Would be more than happy with a stop gap centre signing, who would stick around for 2 years if he is of the right quality. Cooper or Tahu would be ideal still top players and allow us a couple of years to develop a replacement of our own further (Marsh or Charnley).

It would be great to sign a top notch centre in his mid 20's but there are non in the UK and with the increase in the cap in the NRL next year, their price just shot up.

Do not know when his deal is up but Larne Patrick is turning into one hell of a good player, one to watch over the next few years.

Must admit I've found him impressive. Tahu looks a little heavy and slow to be a centre thesedays, often played in the backrow at panthers. However he is a good player-very aggressive edge to his game.

Yes that is interesting and it makes me wonder based on the fans forum comments of IFL why the RFL dont do a Melbourne type investigation of certain clubs.

Do you think the club that plans its playing staff 4 years in advance is Wigan?
