| Quote BenG="BenG"In a way I'm suprised and in a way I'm not.
I think Sean's past his prime. I was hoping we could get him for another year. But if he's got a good contract off on the table, then he's quite free to sign it.
I'll miss him at Saints, and I do think Saints may stuggle at first without him, but all goof things must come to and end. There's no denying he's done a lot for Saints. I say best of luck to him.
I think this signing does 1 thing and that's confirm Hull (FC) as a 2nd tier club. Signing an ageing player for what is presumably big money, is something few of the top tier clubs (Leeds, Saints etc..) do.'"
So you were hoping to have him for another year, but since hull have signed him for next year that makes them a 2nd tier club? |

Yes.
(I assume) Hull have offered him significantly more money than Saints did. In RL the practice of signing big name vets. Is indicative of a 2nd tied team that needs either the gate money (un-likely) or wants to take the short-term lift over long-term planning (most probably).
Think Robbie Paul - Bradford to Hudds then Salford.
Think Paul Newlove - Saints to Castleford
Think Mick Cassidy - Wigan to Widnes
and....
Thing Sean Long - Saints to Hull |

| First Fitzgibbon,now long, it'll be like Dad's army at the KC next year! They certainly won't lack "experience" in the side!

"Quit while you're ahead"... It's relevant in so many ways!
I also like their optimistic view of the SL table. Not having Points Difference this year? |

"Give that bet a little extra"

All this ageing non-sence is crap.
I'll give you an example... Brett Kimmorley has signed for the Bulldogs this year and taken them from bottom team last year to top team this year. Granted there has been a few other good signings at the Dogs but he is the main reason behind our rise in fortune.
Age doesnt mean a thing. Class is permanent.

| Quote j_hunter_hkr="j_hunter_hkr"HullKR won't get anywhere near the level of performance from him that HULLFC have had. Great when things are going well, anonymous when they aren't, he won't have the players around him to show his class.
