Is O'Meley going then? People keep talking about Tickle moving up which could be an option if we strengthen the back row.

wouldn't be suprised if o'meley stayed in the uk for another season, he likes it here by all acounts, even if not at fc

I'd like to think Ogre would stay, he's still got another 2 years in him IMO and would hate to see him at another SL club. But with the increase in NRL teams plus the rise in salary cap he may fancy trying to get another deal in Oz.

Tickle is a good shout, could certainly be another 'big minutes' prop. But we need to replace Moa's impact if he leaves.

Would hate seeing him in another team.

same here but we said this about greenhill too

If were in for Whitehead ,then someone's off but we still have plenty in the backrow to cover . Craig Kopczak would have been a better target if Moa & O'Meley are off.

While we're basically robbing Bradford I want Tom Burgess too.

They've had enough off us over the years.

As other have said, Whitehaed is a very good player, but I am quiet happy with our backrow of Manu, Westerman, Tickle, Aspinwall and Whiting (who has been excellent so far in that position), plus young kids like Kent, Green and Crookes etc. So seems a slightly strange signing. If we are targeting a o for player I would go for a prop (Burgess, Kopchaz) or a centre (Sarginson).



Like the fact that we are targeting young British players though, can't say that I would be unhappy with this signing if true.

Excellent player who I've said for some time I'd love to see at Hull. Plus he bit a chunk out of a rovers player last season which is a big positive. Does seem odd that we'd swoop mid season for a back rower though

Anyone know if its for 2013 or straight away ? If true of course

Can't see why we would be going for a back rower for this season unless Gentle plans to use Tickle (or Whiting!) at prop to cover our lack of depth in that area.
