Bobbin' Along wrote:I don't know about that. Over the last few years the rumour mill has linked us with:
Kirk Yeaman Shaun Berrigan Darren Lockyer Trent Barrett
among many others.
Personally I'll believe it when I see it, but I consider Craig Hall a very promising player with plenty of development left in him. As quota restrictions become tougher you've got to welcome British players of that standard.
Yeaman - Agreed terms but obviously didn't sign (thank God).
Berrigan - Enquired signing him as a centre as Justin rates him as a "world class runner of the football" but banged the idea on the head after poor references from ex-Broncos coach Jon Dixon, now at Celtic Crusaders.
Lockyer - Has been "looked after" by the club during his team over here doing work for Aussie TV for the World CC.
Barrett - Nothing but a pipe dream and idle rumours started by people believing we were gonna sign an Aussie international whilst we were in NL1
However, the player in concern was gonna be Jeremy Smith but hit snaggs through visa problems. Turned out for the best for both parties as Jeremy went on to be a full NZ international and we signed Scott Murrell.

That's some "entertainment" you offered him in the first half on Sunday. If that splendid defensive effort doesnt convince him that SL standards match those in NRL, I don't know what will.

Would you like to see him at Craven Park
You've obviously been talking to a former Rovers scrum half who likes striking

Think the giveaway is he says he is to concerned with on the field matters to discuss his future with the club at present. The article also discusses other East Hull lads at the KC and the possibility of them interesting Rovers, ie Craig Hall, Lee Radford, Richard Horne, Grahame Horne, and Danny Washbrook.

Why would he come, he wouldn't get in the team unless we had an injury crisis. If we end up needing a centre next season there are lots better we could go for. I reckon Welham will be as good by then given the opportunity to have an extended run in the 17.

My original thoughts TBH but there's always the option of Walker playing in the back row maybe.

3) And Mrs Barista point out most alarmingly, why did he only sign a one year deal
As far as my dreamland goes, it is here - Paul Cooke is a Hull Kingston Rovers player and he's gonna destroy your team full of crocks come Good Friday...
1) No shock there then, everyone knows that.
2) Irelevant.
3) He turned down a 2 year deal as he was not in the first team and want to prove himself so earn a better deal with better terms. Also love it at Hull and is playing with his best mates.

Do try harder.
They are professional sportsmen with short careers, they will go where the best deal is (monetary as well as playing prospects). If the deal was right he would come here, Cas, Wire, Paramatta or even union, dont kid yourself about 'mates'
