This is a Hull FC fan who also probably doesn't know what contract Mcdonnell will be getting trying to make it seem like an even bigger blow to Rovers by insinuating that FC probably haven't offered that much more money than Rovers did to him.

That's not how it was meant at all. I'm saying he'd be cheaper than getting an NRL FB over and not as messy paperwork wise with Visa, house etc...

IMO Rovers are losing a very good full back and Hull FC are gaining one but let's not pretend that as fans we have any idea of the amounts of money involved in the contracts. Its very likely that FC have offered more than Rovers but how much more, who knows?

Agree, but it's just as likely that you've under valued him as we've over valued him.

Good signing if true. Much more preferable to Kearney.

My only fear is that this means Horne is now staying at 6 even though we were told otherwise. I still think we are after a 6 and certainly hope so. We won't challenge with Horne at 6 i'm afraid and I say that as a big fan of his.


yep completely agree

Re: Rumours Ad Infinitum : Wed Jun 20, 2012 8:05 am  
For the first 2-3 months of the season I thought McDonnell was awful, but has looked better over the last month. Would have hoped for better and even been willing to wait until next year (especially if it does mean we don’t get another halfback), but there simply don’t seem to be any decent fullbacks available so he’ll still probably be one of the better fullbacks in SL next season.

Wonder what the chances of Horne being offered a coaching role are?

i have a feeling that Horney may call it a day at the end of the season, no substance in it just a feeling i have.

McDonnell has been a solid (and improving) performer for KR, as others have said not many FB's around unless prepared to offer top dollar. Gentle's thoughts have obviously changed with regards to Horne at FB possibly due to amount of injuries he picks up, I'm reasonably happy with this if confirmed.

Personally I think we are still in the market for a 6 and can see Horne just being a squad player next season filling in at 1, 6, 7 when required.

Sounds like wishful thinking, unless Hull can find some way to sweeten it outside the cap - lad has to think of his family and that.

McDonnell - decent, unfussy. Like him, sorry to see him go, difficult to judge the move without knowing it's value and even then it'd be hard to figure during what seems to be a major market adjustment.

Said the same last week on here , gentle said he'd be our full back next season so what's changed . A couple of forwards needed and a decent half and I think we'd look ok next season . I'd take holdsworth now if we have McDonnell , but wouldn't have if we'd got Kearney . All about getting the balance right .
