I'm not sure that's true.
Of the players who departed whilst we were in administration, only one was sold by the administrator - the rest went of their own accord. That's my understanding if it, formed by reading the administrator's report, which you would assume is the truth.

The sale was agreed " in principle" with Hull FC before the administration and was concluded after the Administrators were appointed.

Why doesn't anyone want him back? He was a great player and if signed for another year would win quite a few MOM accolades IMO. Great tackler, good runs from dummy half and his support play is better than the tripe we displayed this season (to be fair we didn't break very often).

The Administrator sold both Obst and Ferguson to recoup their costs as the cupboards were bare,only Millard was not sold by them. How do I know? Peter O'Hara the administrator told me.

In short 100% every time but not good enough to play halfback and not big enough to play hooker I say let him stay on Hulls salary cap

pound for pound best tackler in SL, but his kicking game leaves alot to be desired. And for my twopenneth i think he did jump, and a player of his quality could have said "no" and waited to see what would happen as he would have been able to find a team to sign for in SL.
when no-one else can understand me when everything i do is wrong you give me hope and consolation you give me strength to carry on ]

fair player cant fault the effort but great dont think so
I very much doubt he will be coming. I spoke to him a couple of days back and he said the rumours were all a load of rubbish. He very much enjoys playing for Hull he said.

The administrator could only sell him if he wanted to go. He went, we have moved on it's a big no from me. As for the comments about him being great don't be soft.
'That is why no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party.... So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin'
He isn't a specialist in any dept and he's an aussie and knocking on a bit. If we were in a similar scenario as we were at the beginning of this year now, then I would take him but were not. Were slowly developing and I'd be looking elsewhere and sam would be a last minute solution if we couldnt find anything.
