Massive mistake if true, would have to replace him with an British player and I just don't see one available to improve us.

I don’t know if there is any truth to these rumours, I guess we all got involved and add to the fuel, we judge what we think on body language, and perceived sulking, then there’s the opposing fans who, understandably would love to have Jake for the mercurial talent he has.

A short statement from the club, one way or another, would be good. We allegedly turned down a massive offer from Leeds, and that found its way into the national media. Or perhaps Hull are oblivious to all our thoughts and comments.

I reckon the offer is £500K cash or £1M plus Myler

The club cannot respond to every rumour on RLFans, Twitter and Facebook.

So far I have seen one tweet, from an account named "LeedsRhino's fans". So not exactly breaking the internet this one.

Re the highlighted comment, I 100% disagree with that. If the club were to deny or confirm every unofficial rumour it would spark all kinds of untrue rumours which the club would be having to respond to. Afterall, you only have to look at the full content of this thread to see that every name which gets mentioned does not end up in a transfer / signing.

FWIW I actually thought Connor did ok (before anyone jumps on this, ok does not mean very good, but it also doesnt mean he was rubbish either) on Saturday when he engage the line. His passing is far superior to that of any other half we have and he has a decent long kicking game.

Connors body language is rarely one of a fully enthused player, unless he actually has the ball.

If Kelly is fit, Kelly plays. But as many have said, I'd like to see Connor at Full Back to see what difference he can make to the team from there. With all due respect to Shaul, there are just s few to many errors creeping in and perhaps competition for his place might be what he needs.

I agree with dropping Shaul. If he cannot be a pivot like you see at 80% of other sides in the league, then he needs to be backing up players with the ball, seeking out an offload, or always being on hand in the centre of the pitch when a break is made. He has scored 5 tries this season, so what value is he actually bringing at the moment?

I know, I quoted your post with reference to the "club statement".

Didnt see the need for multiple posts.
