Next year will be your 3rd consecutive season of missing out of the top-eight.
Surely not, GML was in the team Hotel and JM never blinked when O'Meley was announced
Glad you have posted that as usually you have spoken or heard from someone pretty safe, perhaps a director drinking in Hedon?
Anyway as you said Rovers were keen to bring him over but the offer was not made as he had already expressed his desire to join another club, I dont think at the time Rovers knew otherwise they would of offered ten times more than Hull

Don't get me wrong, O'Meley is probably the first FC signing in the last 3 years (other than Berigan) that I wouldn't have been disappointed signing for Rovers but he's not some super-star. Besides, Catalans have some of the best props in the comp in Carlaw, Ryles etc. and they're struggling to get in the 8.
FC will have a better side than they have this season, but it still won't be good enough to get in the 8 - it's only recently that most fans are coming to terms with the fact that the competition has moved on since they were in the GF.

It's a bit daft to make statements like that when most teams haven't even started their recruitment, let alone finished it. You have no idea how the squads are going to match up for 2010 yet.

As someone who has watched O'meley plummet over the last two years I shed no tears we didn't sign him. Off the field he has issues, on it he has just been poop! I'd have taken Tronc over him any day of the week.
WEST COAST PIRATES NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......

Quote:"I'll pick players up if they are not pulling their weight and if they are not being professional in everything they do" O'Meley told the Mail.
That's rich coming from a guy who plays for Sydney Roosters
