Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Depressing is an understatement. I really feel for them as it appears they are experiencing death by a 1000 cuts.
It is no way to treat the fans. No matter what the fault of the owners or management is, the fans are innocent parties in all of this.
They should be told the truth and know exactly where they stand. Anything less is cruel and wrong IMHO. |

Hulls youth development isnt the best in SL. But it is quite disappointing that having done so much good work they are going into this season with as many overseas players as last year.
People have long argued over the merits of having two Hull sides in SL. One of the big arguments made by the pro lobby was that it was a fertile heartland, a strong amateur game and it could easily be supported.
This year there is 17 overseas players playing for Hull. You could pretty much put out a team of overseas players from this 'heartland'. It seems two clubs in Hull in SL means two clubs struggling in Hull in SL.

It was in direct response to a HKA fans assertions at Hull.
Hull shouldnt be signing average journey men like Phelps or Obst when they already had 5 overseas players.
But they still have 30% fewer than Hull KR.
Good News is Wakefield have fewer.

Murphy is a good player, there'll be a few clubs interested.

We will see.
What we do know is that putting out squads filled with overseas players and being competitive hasnt made Wakefield sustainable.
Maybe when people stop looking at being competitive this season as the only aim of their existence they can put the necessary effort into making sure they are competitive and sustainable for a long time. |

Result for everyone, including Wakefield.
If they are to survive and come back stronger, it will be based on going back to the strength of the local game, not by shipping in players who were never good enough for the NRL, thats what got them here in the first place. |

| and putting out a weaker squad of young home grown talent that got whopped every week is a better business model for sustainability?  |
