See this is why the club can't win with some fans, people like you have moaned about the club and Radford all season, they then start to get ruthless and get rid of some average players who are paid miles above there value and have better players in the position they play in and the same fans moan about unfair treatment to these players.

About the club gut tough and started getting value for money from there players.

Its not about been ruthless its the way the club have conducted themselves,first with Gentle and then with McDonnell.
Gentles sacking you will remember was leaked to the press several months before and then denied by the club.
A coach who took the club to Wembley and 6th position in the league and had already started to rectify getting some bulk and weight in the front row by Signing Paea and Feka was identified whilst Gentle was here.
McDonnell has been harshly dealt with.he wanted to play for the club and fight for his place but was told he wasn't wanted and couldn't agree to the clubs settlement terms.Hardly his fault.He was never given a chance and you cant say is he an average player as he is a class full back.
I stand by what I said that the club have done themselves no favours with agents and players in Australia and will struggle to bring in any quality centre or second row.
If Hull Kr can go out to Australia and sign a really good young fast winger and Castleford can sign a top class half back, yet we are linked to a second rate Australian/Italian winger says it all.

McDonnell refused to go dual reg at Doncaster to prove his fitness.

(He still hasn't played, as far as I'm aware, 5 weeks after signing for Saints.)

We're not after the "winger" you mention.

I hope it's Rovers and not us as I don't think a 2nd grade Aussie winger is good business.

The club have been asked and have told Hull Daily Fail it is not us.

Has played for Rochdale on duel reg every week. Whilst I don't know the ins and outs of of the goings on between hull and McDonnell, in such events fabrication becomes fact and vice versa, he's never had a problem with duel reg with us.,,

Utter nonsense. As usual.

...well, nearly every week. Couldn't find any reference on the Saints website, so assumed (wrongly) that he wasn't playing.

Re: rumours on twitter : Thu Aug 07, 2014 7:33 pm  

Reece Robinson would be great addition to the squad if he was available .
