Be happy with Watts, amazing to see that he is still only 21, maybe a change of club will do him good and he will get his form back from a couple of years ago.

Be good if we can get him before the end of the year also.

Watts has plenty of talent, a big lad with a good offload and got some big raps when he first came into the side. He got into trouble off the pitch and as a result has fallen out of favour. At 21 he has plenty of time to get his career back on track. Maybe the change of clubs will do him good. Tickle went though something similar before joining Hull from Wigan. I would imagine he wouldn't be too expensive and could be a good addition. If Gentle fancies him then I would trust him to get it right.

When Crocker failed in his visa attempt he said on tv that his criminal record cost him a million dollars, to pay a player that now is over 200k a season.

If were looking at a younger inexperienced player we'll have to over pay as there's a minimum wage which is expected to rise (some estimates say double) next season, unless they have the right passport they can't get a visa anyway.

Luke Kelly, average personified, has just got a deal with Parramatta because of the lack of halves in the nrl. The only players we can get are the ones ready for retirement who's bodies can't handle the nrl anymore or the ones shamed out of the nrl. So we either get a O'Meley, a hindrance in his last season, or a Lui.

Under Gallop expansion was put back to at least 2015, the commission may bring that forward now meaning more players needed for the NRL.

And that's only if he meant his contract was worth a million dollars in total. Given that he still got an NRL deal, he could well have been meaning that the Hull contract was worth $1m more than he'd earn in the NRL, so actually even more than that.

Sorry, I was taking it literal. As in play for us and go home for SOO mid season. As you say, I can't see it any/many more coming over the year after/going back to play Origin.

Fair enough, but completely different kettle of fish. SL-based players not playing SOO doesn't necessarily have anything to do with whether or not they are good any more.

I'd love to see Scott taylor at fc but that would be a right slap in the face for hudgel and the dobbins fans so I can see them going over board on his contract just to keep him even tho they are skint

Not a rumour but a bit of an update on Gaz Ellis ...
