Jacob Miller to Hull?

Prince and Miller seems to be an odd combination as first and second choices.

Prince obviously a proven performer but obviously coming to the end, would offer experience and all that, miller is at the complete end of the spectrum, Talented and clearly has potential, but unproven and brings something completely different to Prince.

Strange recruitment strategy from where I sit.

That said playing styles are similar I guess, but still a strange fall back position if you ask me.

I assume it is simply the Peter Gentle connection.

I remember Prince signing with the Titans as his Wife wanted to be closer to family, shes going to be real close to her family if they go to England. Nothing to do with money LOL.
 
What hogwash!

I have it on good authority that Miller is going nowhere, he will be the number 7 next year with Marshall back at 5/8\. Miller has been set a training regime to increase is size in the off season and will be given the goal kicking duties next season as well.

Don't mess with the ball boy. They hear everything, have access everywhere and they all look so innocent.

Benji and Anasta are both better kickers than him.

Correct me if Iam wrong, but isnt he under contract with us for 2013\. So if that is the case he would need a release to go to Hull and Iam sure now Sheens has gone that will not happen.

The way I see it 2014 we might have a fight on our hands to keep him with the Coast showing interest and he is from the Northern Rivers region but 2013 I cant see him going anywhere except maybe the club decide to do a deal with Gentles at Hull for him to gain much needed experience and do a season in the ESL but really cant see that happening
 
It,s there for Miller if he wants it … Silly move to ESL .We will now see if Miller has the goods in more ways than one .Time to step up to the plate and grab that vacant 7 spot but only if you really want it !!

looks almost certain to be Prince

http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/Scott-Prince-ready-commit-year-deal-Hull-FC/story-17123267-detail/story.html

Good as he has been, a 3 yr deal at his age seems desperate in the extreme.
 
I've got my fingers crossed that it's Prince and that Scotty agrees terms. We need Miller. We really do. Last season proved it to no end. All Jacob has to do is perform well and have the right attitude and he'll be in with a great shot of playing first grade next season.
 
I have a feeling it will be Prince at Hull. But this is what Im worried about. Titans will need to replace him with someone. Real nervous it will be Miller at the Titans…
 
Moltzen could be an option for the coast. In saying that I would be happy to see how the current squad goes with a new coach.
 
Prince's missus couldn't handle being one state away from their families, they won't move halfway across the planet… I guess unless the price is right, after all he left for *less money, didn't he?
 
If miller is smart he will see out his contract at the tigers. One more season to see what opportunities a new coach may bring, if its the same as what he has recieved in the past I would not begrudge him moving on.
 
Prince off to hull

Gold Coast Titans captain Scott Prince jetting off to Super League

GOLD Coast skipper Scott Prince is off to Hull FC next season, with the halfback expected to meet coach Peter Gentle and sign a three-year deal to join the Super League club this weekend.

The Courier-Mail understands Prince told friends up to two weeks ago that he would not be at the Titans in 2013, with secret negotiations with Hull having started over a month ago as the 32-year-old grew frustrated with his treatment by the Gold Coast.

Gentle has flown across the world to ensure Prince, who has one more year on his Titans contact with the club holding an option for 2014, puts pen to paper as soon as possible so the club can celebrate a marquee signing and recruitment of a respected NRL captain.

Prince's imminent departure is sure to send shockwaves around the Gold Coast, but a messy divorce has been building for some time.

The Titans made a huge play for Australian Test halfback Cooper Cronk this year, prompting speculation Prince would be forced out of the club, and subsequent rumours that linked him to a mid-year move to North Queensland caught the skipper by surprise.

Now it seems Prince has had the final laugh and blindsided club officials with his Super League discussions, which could leave the Titans without an established halfback for the 2013 NRL season.

As much as the Titans would love to vigorously pursue off-contract Origin playmakers Johnathan Thurston or Mitchell Pearce for 2014, their recruitment blitz that has netted Dave Taylor, Nate Myles and Jamal Idris in recent times will likely leave them shy of the $1 million price tag Thurston can command on the open market.

Boom rookie Aidan Sezer will be the Titans' most experienced halves player on next year's roster, with 18 NRL games this year.

Jordan Rankin (15 games), new signing Albert Kelly (14 games) and Beau Henry (10 games) are yet to experience regular first grade football.

Prince's late departure leaves the Titans in a difficult position to secure a marquee or experienced halfback for next season.

Canberra's Josh McCrone or Sam Williams would appear the best option given they led the Raiders on a late surge , but one must make way for the return of skipper Terry Campese in 2013.

That's exactly right BeeJay. That would be the smartest move he could make here. Yes, it could end up a disaster if he was to get injured or have a poor season but he can't be thinking like that. If he puts in a fair 2013 he'll either be re-signed here or attract interest elsewhere.
