Pearson: Danny Tickle will stay at Hull FC
OWNER Adam Pearson has reassured fans Danny Tickle will be a Hull FC player in 2013.
Tickle has been subject to speculation regarding his future with a contract extension sitting unsigned for months.

Danny Tickle
The 29-year-old second row sees his current deal finish at the end of next year, with Hull eager to tie the England international to a long-term contract.
The impending arrival of Hull KR captain Ben Galea and links to young Bradford Bulls star John Bateman have only served to increase speculation Hull may cash in now on Tickle, with Widnes known admirers and willing to pay a transfer fee.

But Pearson has rubbished those reports and insists one of Hull's best players won't be leaving anytime soon.
"Danny Tickle is not going anywhere and he'll be a Hull FC player next year," Pearson told the Mail.
"He's happy at Hull and is happy to stay at the club and he will definitely be here next season."
The news will come as a huge relief to Hull, who are already losing Willie Manu to St Helens. Back-row international star Gareth Ellis will arrive next season to add further quality to Hull's pack, but the retention of Tickle is a huge signal of intent, as Hull could ill-afford to lose both this season's starting second-rowers.
Tickle has been a consistent performer since arriving from Wigan at the start of the 2007 season and will now extend his stay to a seventh season at the Black and Whites.
Tickle's offer of a contract extension remains on the table and Pearson says it is a matter that he will speak to the player about in the future.
He added: "I'm sure we will discuss an extension to his deal, but the important thing is he's here for 2013 for definite."

“I think that if Widnes stump up the cash we will allow him to leave. Danny is a good player and would be missed but at the same time he can be replaced.
On another note I really hope O'Meley is kept on (althoguh doesn't look likely). Since he came back in to the side he has shown what an asset he is.”

“But all the Rovers fans said Ticks was leaving? Surely they can't be wrong?”

“Make no mistake,Hudgell is entirely responsible for the mess the Dobbins are in, he has bankrupted the club in his efforts to "get one over" on his illustrious neighbours.His decisions to pay stupid wages, which no way could the club afford,to players like Cooke,Mason,Clinton,Green and Dobson has brought the club to this position and it now looks like he is considering letting the club leave the super league and go down into the Championship which is why he is delaying the sale of the season passes.
The building of the North Stand has put further pressure on the club's finances and will continue to do so.
This statement will cause an exodus of all the club's best players and the Dobbins position from here will only get worse.
Time and time again I told you that the £1 million from the Allams WAS NOT A GIFT BUT A LOAN which has to be paid back.
There is no way in the world that the Allams will buy the club,they are still struggling to cope with Hull City's mounting debts let alone take on more from a little club with no assets and no future.
The only way out for the Dobbins is to leave the super league and start afresh in the lower divisions,this would suit both the RFL and the other super league clubs who want to reduce the super league to a more sustainable 12 club competition.
THIS NEWS SHOULD SPUR HULL FC'S FANS TO GET IN EARLY AND RENEW THEIR SEASON PASSES SO THE MONEY CAN BE USED TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN THE CLUB.”

“Great news, Ticks is class and never has a bad game. Still strong rumours about Keith Galloway coming to FC, prop for Wests Tigers (State of Origin and Aussie test player) - he would be a great replacement for Moa. Would love to see Ogre offered a new deal, he's made a huge difference since coming back from injury.
Not such good news across the river i'm afraid (money problems again !!).”

“Excellent news.
This should now put an end to the interest in Ben Galea.
Now spend the money on a big hard running Prop.”
