Wasnt there a rumour that he was going to sign for Leeds?

There was strong rumour of him going to both Leeds and Wakefield , but Hull seem to have had a change of mind for some reason

From the point that we are a, lucky to have a team and b, very lucky to be in Super League I am pleasantly surprised. That said in amongst the signing several have left (Elima, Burgess, Kopczak, Jeffrys, Crookes, Hargreaves and now Ainscough and not forgetting Mick Potter), Francis Cummings is reported to hoping for a squad of 25 which is pretty skinny (I think at present they have 20, very short on props). They are of course cutting their cloth accordingly, with luck and a significantly lower injury list they should be reasonably competitive next year and hopefully development more home grown players for the future. Short term injuries/suspensions I think will be a major factor.

To be honest, I think it's not particularly bad squad that you're putting together, and that

To be honest, I think it's not particularly bad squard that you're putting together, and tha skinny may help you more, as a smaller squad could bring a togetherness that could help you like that good run last season.
As for ourselves, not overly happy sad I think we've signed quite a few players that we didn't need, and the 2 youngsters who have gone down under, though it's 2 gooder opportunity for them to miss will be missed. Though I understand that we are also cutting our. cost to help the club.

BRADFORD

Have signed Warrington youngster Ben Evans on a year loan.

Wakefield Wildcats

Stand-off Tim Smith has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the Rapid Solicitors Stadium until the end of the 2014 season.

Hull KR

Have signed Huddersfield Giants prop Adam Walker for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.
The 21-year-old rejected a new contract at the John Smith's Stadium at the end of last season.

Warrington Wolves

Have handed new contracts to young trio Ben Currie, James Laithwaite and James Saltonstall.

Is it just me, or does it seem quite on the signings front. No big signings, and not alot of players moving clubs.

BRADFORD

Have signed Jamie Forster from St Helens on a 1 year deal.

I think a lot of the English clubs are waiting to see who's available after the NRL sides finalise their rosters
