According to reports from australia,timana tahu chewing over a big offer from hull fc,any thoughts ?

We've known this for weeks! I for one would be happy if he was signed for one season with the option of another. Still got the skills to send a winger away and put in really big hits. Can play in the 2nd row too. Hull AND Rovers fans bang on and on about youth, but neither club has any threequarters that could perform to the same level. I'm pretty sure that Michaels has signed to play centre, but if we started Sa and Tahu at centre, we'd have no defensive frailties out wide - no-one would want to run at them!



Regarding Youth, I was speaking to an ex Hull player the other week about how many of our "legends" are from outside the City. So many of Hull's are from the West Riding and Cumbria, same with Rovers. Why in such a stronghold do we rarely convert potential into genuine class? It's puzzled me for years.

Tbf, even the small-ish world of RL heartlands in this country, not-Hull is a lot bigger than Hull. West Yorkshire's population is more than 2 million.

West yorkshire always seems to have been a breeding ground for top players as you say why I dont know,arguably our greatest ever player roger millward was at the time behind alan hardisty and keith hepworth in the cas pecking order when we signed him.What both our teams would give for players of their quality now.

I might have last weeks papers here if you want to have a catch up buddy...........

that's mean, it took an age for his mum to copy it out in crayon.

She doesn't hide them well, he's always eating them.

Known about it for ages as well,but its finally made the aussie press about hull making a big offer,fui fui off to salford.

and this about you not being a selling club, care to fill us in?



or maybe, like your username, be a happy memory that failed to break out of the 80's?

Keep you PM's about standee to yourself,cheers.

When did I say that ?

Statistically speaking though, your comparison doesn't add up. Purely talking about participation numbers in the amateur leagues, we're up there with anyone. 3 teams in the elite amateur division, would be 4 had East Hull not folded. Our very own amateur league. If we can beat the rest of the Country at an amateur level, why can't we do it at a Pro level?
