What ever "spin" the Club have put on it , I still feel the Club signed Lauaki to cover Crocker`s absence.
Crocker will not play for Hull FC in my opinion . What has changed from his refusal to overturn the initial decision?

I wouldnt mind that but we havent heard anything more about him too. Maybe Im just be impatient with the 'Effy' deal as the Crocker one has been an absolute joke. We are now over a month over when he was supposed to hear the outcome and still nowt.

I repeat again that quite frankly I don't think he will come Souths have been talking cash with him and I am told that if its a no then he will be off there within 24 hours! As for another player well we need a back but whether its a centre, where we have some cover (Whiting, Hall) or a full back where a really good player would be an investment for the future or (My Choice) a half back because we just need an injury there and we are back to were we were last season, no one else on our books is the answer, we know that through experience.

However everone is right when they say where do we get one from.

We now need as a club to buy top class specialist for the backs, not Jack of all trade play anywhere also rans!! The way forward is to buy cleverly and buy big in the backs, to complement what is already (With Luauki) a great pack! If we do that in future we will become a great team, if we don't we will continue to be stuffed with G Hornes, Rich Whitings and Tommy lee's who although OK players who give their all are probably all (as we are) scratching their heads as to what is their best position. Those three players give us all the utility back up we need and the days of Peter Sharps utility madness must be put behind us. If we don't get Crocker lets get a specialist, but where from is quite another matter!!

Bit harsh on Whiting there........we can keep him and get rid of the other 2.

The decision on Crocker was due on March 13th, so it's 7 working days overdue.

Well if he is sucessfull it will have been worth the wait.

I am remaining optimistic, it is a flipping joke now though.and the Greg Bird fiasco just make an absolute mockery of this country
