Woulden't be a bad deal, he needs match fitness, we need another prop, and with the reduced interchange rule another '80 minute' prop would be handy for a few months

That's a little bit contradictory.







Fwiw, I wouldn't sign him. Happy with our 4 starting props and would rather we give gametime to Green or Bowden if we get an injury.

What we the point in getting Fielden on loan at the moment, I wouldn't have in him my 17 in front of any of our current props?



If we get a couple of injuries then maybe then.

Gentle again reiterated yesterday that 14 clubs were after Ellis and we could be with a good shot of getting him.

Might be in the minority here but i'd rather sign Whitehead than Ellis, thinking long term and salary cap wise.

I'd probably agree, would be more sensible for our squad currently (asuming we retain Manu).

In that case, no thanks. The days of getting Leeds young uns up to match fitness and speed have gone, so I don't want to be helping Wigan too (even if it is for an old un).

which 14 ?

I'd hazard a guess that every SL club would register an interest.



Personally I reckon he will be signed by Huddersfield.

Why Huddersfield?



I reckon he'll go to either Castleford with it been his home town club, but if he's coming back to and wants to play for a trophy then back to Leeds or to Wire who have a tendancy to sign big name older players on short contracts.

All 14 SL clubs, he was guest of honour at the Hull Wyke luncheon yesterday. Didn't see you there? Was a good day.

Someone on Twitter (wolfie) is welcoming Whitehead. Interesting!

James Smailes has now rubbished the rumour and says it is definitely not going to happen, think we can put this one to bed.

While I realise that nobody takes any notice of the anti-tampering rule, clubs still have to pretend don't they? Or has it been binned? Or is the thought that you're buying him now, rather than signing for next season?

Yeh lets put it to bed

we only have £60,000 left on cap for this season

Transfer fees don't count, and £60k 'til November isn't such a bad wage for year one of a contract. Tickle to prop? I've heard more unlikely scenarios. A stretch, but possible.



Expect a trickle of jokes about cannibalism, if it comes off. Just don't bite.

too easy











nah couldnt afford it this year mate , spend all my money on subs

This only started because one person just thought it could be Elliott whitehead no actual facts or anything , he thought AP was planning a transfer and thought could be Whitehead

As I now know (being new to the commentary circle) the people of Hull love a good rumour.



What I was told I believed and still do to be factually correct.



There certainly has been an approach for Tom Burgess. Rejected of course

Leeds probably won't want him with the forwards they have. Bradford, cas and wakey are not in a realistic position to challenge for honours which leaves hudd within striking distance of his family roots and who have a competitive team.

Fuck off





Was a good day, looking forward to the season now!

James Clark:

Fans will be happy tomo, big day! Meet the Players + special Easter camp will both be confirmed, plus injury update and 1 more if u r lucky!

Hopefully good news on Heremaia.
