I think the success rate for transfer rumours over the years I've been a fan must hover around 0.5%

Interesting that Matty Laidlaw has come back from Newcastle because he wants to do longer minutes and wasn't getting them up there.
Hopefully we can get in a position to give him a bit of first team game time this season.

No I don’t. I’d be interested to know what recruitment you are talking about.

Glad you admit your earlier post was a load of rubbish. Our recruitment is about the same as every other SL club right now.

The worry for Laidlaw is his size, like a few of our forwards they seem to small compared to players around the same age.

Certainley think we l promote a few of the reserves lads next season.

Wakacoke, Martin, Staveley, Balmforth, Laidlaw, Gardiner, Jebson, Armstrong must all have a good chance.

I think supplement those above who are good enough , with a quota second row, a quota prop and a quota hooker and would we be good to go?

No I did not admit that at all. Your comment about recruitment though is actually rubbish. A number of clubs have signed players whilst FC have not. So far you have lost two. Players linked to you have signed for other clubs. Before you get on your high horse once again I am referring to players TS has expressed an interest in not just rumours brought up by fans.

I await you usual snide reply. Don’t disappoint me now, Dave.

Not if we lose

Dywer
Shaul
Swift
Wynne
Satae
Evans
Lovodua
Savelio
Houghton

Promote 3, sign 6, 3 quota players, 3 uk players.

I'd bet we sign at least one under contract player next season.

Haha, nice one.

I’d like to see what type of fee you could come up with to even get us considering it. I’m not even going to justify the reasons why it’s a non starter.

He will play with Davy anyhow when he signs for us in the next year or so.

The city of Hull and rumours eh. Personally looking forward to the bid for Mikey Lewis, usually comes around at this time

Don’t want and don’t need Lewis,even if he does want to move over back to the west side.Even his old grandad says he would move to hull if the chance came about

We haven't lose anyone yet, unless you can show me an official press release, I'm sue we have signed players too.

Bored off you now, think it's time to put you on ignore as you offer nothing to this forum, that isn't being snide, just a fact.
