No, i would donate some money instead, it's embarrassing charging people to watch their players train no matter what the reason, there are plenty of other ways to raise money.
Can't add much more to what has already been posted, this is a fantastic, top-class signing and I am ecstatic.
I hope that the fans really get behind the club next year with record pass sales, under Pearson, McRae and Gentle this club is going places and every fan in the city needs to be on-board next year.

Who was embarrassed, only you? None of the youngsters who went to oz where.
We sign a world class player and you want to bring hkr into it or spend time trolling on their board, odd.

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Surely the sum of these two signings could have afforded us one half decent signing?
AP and McCrae created extreme optimism with their words but, sadly, this has gradually fizzled away for me.

Bit out of left field this, but if were are to lose one of Moa or Ogre could Whiting bulk up and move into the front row and play an Erol Crabtree type role?
Also will the signing off G Ellis perhaps persuade Tom Briscoe to stay for Another year or two before heading off to the NRL?

He is an excellent signing, of that there is no doubt. But if your losing Moa, O Meley and Manu (if the rumours are true ) to make space on the cap, is it really worth it ?

Class signing world class player,hope we can keep our other forwards orge and manu and sam ,always thought manu better comming off the bench for a devestating 20 min spell,i no sam wanted to go home family reasons hopfully we can overcome them as a club,and keeping orge and manu on slightly less contracts could balence the books ,they are both class forwards better than anything out there available
i think other posters are right about our 3 quarters but i honstly think you have to give some youth a chance and ben crooks looks a tremendous young prospect and i would like to see him given a chance next year like leeds have given there 2 young centres a chance ,if brisco leaves would love to see colin best back as replacement ,it deffo feels like a knocker norton type signing this hoping it can start a golden era for the club and the faithful ,wel done hull fc

I've always been a fan of Whiting, but it has to be said that we've tried to bulk him up for the back row about 4 seasons out of the last 6 and he still doesn't seem to be much bigger than in 2005. Not sure he's got it in him to get up to prop size. Tickle is the only player we have who could make the move up on a regular basis IMO, so it's either he moves up or share the gametime in the back row and bring props in/through (although I think next year is still 1 season too early for Bowden etc to be in the first choice 4).
