IM NOT, ALL IM SAYING IS WE COULD QUITE POSSIBLY LOSE, MOA,OMELEY,MANU,TURNER,MARTIN,ASPINWALL......
and there being replaced by ellis,arundel. and err....hang on a minute, oliver elima

Ellis is better than Manu and Arundel is as good as Turner. Those are the only confirmed departures/arrivals, as far as I'm aware. I think looking at an incomplete picture is counter-productive, anyway. Once the club issue a statement saying that the recruitment is completed for 2013, I'll start getting worried if it's necessary to do so. I think in the meantime, I think we have to allow McRae and Gentle to do their jobs and hope/believe that they'll sign the very best players available to them in the positions we need to improve.

Elima is by no means a bad player, I think it just depends how Gentle sees him fitting in. If indeed there's any truth in the rumour at all.

http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... story.html i know they are only rumours ,but some of the names being linked dont match what was being stated here...i live in hope.

im my opiion, when AP took charge i thought we would be signing top draw players... he stated the siging of ellis was just the start. and ellis is a great siging dont get me wrong, but since then weve signed jay pitts, who couldnt get in leeds team, joe arundel who lets be fair hasnt really set the world alight this year, maybe through injury i dont know....
and we have lost manu,turner, possibly moa and maybe tickle if rumour about widnes is correct... these are all first choice players, ones of which will be hard to replace especially manu.... not exactly setting the world alight in player recruitment in my opinion...from the outset, we need quality to add to the quality we already have, but weve lost serious quality in manu and thats a fact... i dont think mcrae or gentle ever saw him leaving if im honest and im sure it was a massive blow to both when he stated his intetions same as turner....
to move on we need to be siging players that would get into wigans,sts,wire first team.... and currently we arnet, hence why we cant compete for trophys.... how waire are under the salary cap is beyond me, something in which the RL have to have a seriuos look at, there staring 13 is near-on full interantional standard, which is amazing if were all supposed to be singing of the same song sheet etc, if it is all above board then the money people at teams such as ourselves need to have a proper reality check and ask why they can get the players of the calibre of monoghan x2 , morley,atkins,hodgeson etc etc and we have infirior players...

Spot on!!
Dont know what is going on, what people are saying that Ellis is a replacement for Manu, is rubbish, he was NEVER meant as a replacement, linked now with Elima, what a joke, if that is the level of player we are looking at then you can kiss goodbye of ever competing with the like of Wigan and Wire,

Fui Fui Moi Moi rumoured to be interesting Catalans - should we be interested to replace Moa?

You do know that Wigan are losing Carmont, Finch, Leuluai, Lima and who are they being linked with!? That's right - Matty Smith. The quanlity of player will decrease in SL next year.

Cant beleive you are slagging off the club regards recruitment based on ub-substantiated rumours

Rather have Lovegrove than Elima.

Agreed!

Hearing that we are being linked with Trent Merrin along with Galloway and Kite in our search for an NRL prop.

Mertin signed new deal couple months ago

Turner - happy he has left
Arundel - happy he has arrived
Ellis - ecstatic that he has signed
Manu - disapointed that he has gone but we have had him during his 'peak' years

Overall - quite happy
