i said its a rumour that hes signed......... doesnt mean he 100% has does it....?
and if you think players dont talk to people when they are under contract you may well be right....... but if you think players agents dont talk then you are very much deluded, yes its against the rules but that doesnt stop it happening - and i dont think it ever will.
It's strange because Craig Hall is a contracted Hull FC player until the end of 2010 season. For him to be playing for Rovers next year would therefore mean:
1) It's another Cooke scenario, possible but unlikely since this 2 year deal was done a year ago, so would doubt that his contract is unsigned (although this is FC we are talking about, so not impossible)
2) FC gave permission to Hall to find another club.
The point about agents talking to clubs etc would be valid if Hall were OOC at the end of this season, as there is undoubtedly tapping up of players going on before the 1 September deadline, but you are saying he is signing for Rovers for 2010 when he is still contracted to FC for that season. So really what you're saying is that FC are releasing Hall a year early.
