Are we not being a bit arrogant in thinking that either, or both, would sign for us for definate if approached?

If it comes down to a choice between us and other SL sides why would they come to Hull, as opposed to Wigan,Warrington,Bradford,Leeds etc etc.

Crusaders may offer one of them huge money.
They might like the idea of calling the South of France "home".

There are a number of reasons why players wouldn't want to come to Hull.

Money talks and whilst I understand your point there is such a thing as an offer that cannot be refused and we need to make one.

I agree, but there is also the impact on the dressing room to consider, we hear rumour that there is an issue at the moment of some players feeling that others are over-paid for what they are doing, would bringing someone in on £200K a season not cause similar, possibly even wider, division?

Yes possibly. On the other hand a star player who is actually worth that amount (which everyone including the other players can recognise as being the case) should be able to be integrated into the team. If we're at full cap now (Crocker notwithstanding) I would say that too many average players are being overpaid at Hull - if they're the ones doing the complaining then I suggest they are the first to be made aware of the route to the exit.

I think Briers would do a good job for you guys, still a quality player on his day and can take charge of a game.

Like he's done for Warrington while he's been there, they haven't come close to winning anything. No thank you.

Even considering bringing Briers in would mean mass unrest, let alone actually doing it!

Since when does winning something determine how good a player is.
