Are there anymore indications as to who this rumoured huge signing might be who we are prepared to break the club's wage structure for ??

It can't be Sean Long can it ??

How much cap did we have left?
Cusack, thorman and tony are going (so far).
We also have the cap from crocker.

And we've already bought Fitzgibbon and Long. Who won't have been cheap.
Is there enough for a huge signing?

Yeah.

Agar: "Hi Sean. How would you like £100k p/a?"

Long: "Where do I sign?"

Is there a website somewhere that has all the players' wages listed?

Why didnt we get rid of Tony when he did his injury then rather than paying a years wage to a man who nobody could see play?

TBH I can see some major changes in the squad for next season and the team structure. Long has been playing in a team that expresses itself and plays a little off the cuff.

Both teams play similar clearing sets (as do most teams tbf), but its there where the similarities between Hull and Saints end. I think deep down Agar is the right man for Hull if he has total control of team structure and tactics as i believe his instincts as a coach and Longs as a player are very much alike.

Will certainly be interesting to see who else is on the radar because this signing could persuade others to come who may not otherwise have done.

A fantastic player and I am gutted to see him leaving us - good luck to him for the future!

Anything is better than Thorman I guess.
