Hull are at it now!

Post by Dawber »

Its just been confirmed on teletextthat Hull want to sign New Zealand Warrirors back row forward Sione Faunuina on a short term contract from next month, The Hull board say they are only doing what Warrington have done and are fighting fire with fire,
In my opinion no they are not, They are cheating this should not be allowed, have the Hull board got no faith in the squad that has just won the challenge cup?,
be very interested to hear what the rest of you think of this, Are Hull going to drop a player to bring this guy in?

It isn't cheating though is it, it doesn't break any rules.

I agree with your sentiment though.

It's not very pleasant for the player to be dropped but IMO Hull are correct in that they are only doing what Wolves have done.

I agree with you 100% jj, Although i stated in my post that i thought it was cheating ( rob corrected me on that ) it just feels like they are cheating even though they are breaking no rules, I just feel sorry for the guy that gets dropped out of the squad to accomadate this guy, Imagine playing your heart out all year only to be told " We don't think you are good enough for the rest of the season", Because that is what they are doing in my opinion

Millward wanted to bring nat wood to wigan for the rest of the season when he found out they were getting joey, so we'd of been doing exactly the same thing.
