I will reiterate what I said a couple of days ago, Sammut is nearly a done deal, the player has agreed to come, now just a matter of agreeing fee.
Findlay has stated amount wanted and Rule is not far short - couple more days till completion.

I heard we had lost patience and are too far apart and have left for them to come back to us?

talking to David Howes at a function (Moore's agent) he said Moore would love the opportunity to come to Hull and he cannot for the life of him understand why they have not snapped him up in their current predicament.
He also reckons that from what he hears the club are looking at Sam Obst from Wakefield, who are desperate for cash and on that basis they would offload any of their players at present....wakefield seem to be doomed for a 2012 license.
Also that Sammut is def looking to go back to NRL next season.
Will the club pay a big fee for one season again for a player who clearly does not see his future playing in England ?

Why are the club wasting money time and effort on an overseas player who wants to go back to the NRL? If Agar really had any forward thinking for this club he would have bought Briggs and Moore, told them you'll be second choice this season as they learn superleague, but next season you'll be first choice. I know we've got Nicklas, but he's just played u20's and 2 sub appearances iirc. Briggs and Moore have been proving themselves in the championship.

I understand what your saying,but if Niklas was playing in the championship,who's to say he wouldn't have been tearing it up.When he came in he didn't look out of place and but for injury I think he would have had more game time.Young Lee Williams is supposed to be a pretty hot prospect also.
I could be wrong but I think Briggs had time at Huddersfield before being released to Featherstone .Perhaps the club have not signed either of these players because they believe we have as good if not better prospects comming through.I would like to think that the club has been asking the opinions of the senior players such as Longy,Fitz,etc as to their prospects,particularly Longy as he sees his future in some sort of coaching role.

He's boring and self obsessed. Anyone with a need to tell everyone when he's farted or picked his nose is almost as bad as those who want to know every time he farts or picks his nose

It baffles me to be honest why Moore isn't already here, not only is he a talented player, but whenever I've seen him he looks like a real playmaker, the type of player we just don't produce in this country, from what I gather he was very unlucky not to get a shot at Leeds and has tore up every level he's played at. That's no guarantee he'd make it, but for such a minimal risk and especially with the tide turning in the way of overseas players, I really hope we don't miss a trick with him.

Is he from fev/cas/ponte?

Maybe he just wants to work under a decent coach

If true then it really shows how clueless Agar really is. Oh hang on, we allready knew that.
