Good point, and I think everyone can agree that Hull are weaker for not having those people at the club.

I think your comment sums up the thoughts of Hull fans. Yes you can strengthen your organisation by bringing people in but why then comment on the relative strength of Hull FC on the back of this? Surely it is of no concern?

Because that's what we're talking about, Hull and Rovers. Take the names "Hull KR" and "Hull FC" away and just look at the movement of personnel between two local clubs and their league positions and you could consider one being a feeder club to the other. It all seems to be one-way traffic (apart from Lee Crooks......)

I'm not concerned about Hull FC at all and I'm not bothered if taking more players and coaching staff from you gives you a "back handed compliment", as long as it's for the right reasons and they're of the same standard as the ones we've taken from you in recent years, I'm happy.

Strange cos I thought we were talking about Craig Hall?

When you signed Peter Fox did you discuss how much you were weakening Wakey? No. I would suggest all the side comments about Hull give credence to Big Daves point.

Briscoe, Cooke, Wheeldon, Mallinson, Dunn and Chester =/= Peter Fox

The discussion changed once Big Dave T mentioned "Rovers' Hull player envy" (which is hilarious). I'm leaving this now, you're clearly deluded!

That wasnt RBA's point.

I accept you are wrong.

Contracted until 2010 .
Given your Clubs financial state I would very much doubt you could afford a fee.
Give us Kris Welham in exchange .

for houghton and hall?

Given the state of your own clubs finances i'm sure the hefty 5k cheque you picked up for the Leeds nines could go towards paying RW unpaid bonus's and leave him able to sign a new contract.

On topic it simply taken as read as any player JM wants our board will do their best to deliver. Onwards and upwards.

Exactly my point.
