I would take Rocky right away. Played Rugby with his older brother. Was always a class act. Still great now and only young. He can cover plenty of positions so will be great to have. Definitely and upgrade from Finn.

I'd take him off Wigan's hands but i'm not too happy about it just been for a year-long loan. We've been stung by doing this already with Snyd from Salford.

Not good enough and wouldn't be committed to the Tigers - listens too much to his family who are WTW.

His older brother Aiden works unpaid for your club with the juniors.

Bit of a turnaround, I wonder why the change of mind, and can you explain just how you got stung with Sneyd when he was a Salford player.

We gave Snyd a life-line. He was going nowhere with Salford. He excelled in the first 6 months of his loan spell. Salford knew we wanted him permanently but put a stupid price tag on him (100K). That scenario originated from the Chase deal. Cas and Salford wern't doing business with each other at the time. Only Hull FC were daft enough to pay for him.

You can't have it both ways, he excelled for you and you wanted him, and I've no doubt if you'd had some brass at the time you would have done a deal for him, so why were Hull daft enough to pay for him?

We don't pay transfer fees lately - same as Rhino's and your lot. You've got Liam Finn on a freeby I see.

We have never paid signing on fees for youngsters, what about signing on fees for your youngsters, do you still pay them?

And your point is what exactly, where does Sneyd come into it?

Re: Rocky Hampshire : Sun Oct 25, 2015 11:00 pm  

Signing on fees and transfer fees are 2 entirely different things.

So it's okay to pay a fee for the youngsters and then claim they came through your youth system.
