kcab sfrawdder 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

Quote: TV BOY "Hold non a minute. Let me get this stright. Paul Rowley is given information from what must have been a credible source that his visa is sorted and Paul gave a statement or interview to a news paper that he is pencilled in for the Whitehaven game. The club must have spoken to Paul before he did this so the club must have been given this information. You dont get clearence then dont get clearence, unless he has knocked out the govenor. The RFL have got nothing to do with this. We have been told repeatedly by the club that they have done everything they can and have backed us. Is this information wrong also? Is this the reasdon the club said nothing about the article in the Reporter? There is something that stinks and the smell is again coming from our own door. Honesty is the only thing that can stop me from also washing my hands of this club now. I have called for fans not to walk away from the club because of the results but those and the thought that there is really, really a group of people running ( or not ) the club that have no consideration for its fans turns my stomach. In fact this news has made me well and truly p1$$ed off.'"


Well we all are because we can,t remember when we had a stand off who had pace and could tackle.We can,t count Moran cos he missed a lot of games and for others he played fullback. It,s been the same in that position for a lot of seasons but as some say what I know about RL can be written on a very small postage stamp.

Now lets get to the remarks allegedly made by Paul Rowley to the Leigh Reporter. I don,t know if he said it neither do you lets wait and see.

Another thing we are struggling because we are predictable, we play one way, we have one very weak side defensively, I see it match after match you do, everyone does, the coaching staff do and the opposition coaching staff watch the DVD and they know it too.

What is being done about it ? Nothing,And now without Williams we are stuck with this same predictable game unless it is changed.

Well what would I do well for a start I,d try Mort or Stanton at stand off and drop backs who are hopeless on defence.

This seasons rugby from our point of view has with a couple of exceptions been dire but the club need to realise if we get relegated there might be no way back.

I'll try not to.. icon_lol.gif I was really late last week so caught the time when everyone was trying to buy a ticket on the last minute! I'll endeavour to pop down during the week for the next home game (whenever that is....could be August as we have that wierd a fixture list!)

I notice you didn't disagree about Leigh not being so bad as to need Matt to put on his boots

This part of your post IS a joke right?

Perhaps all these players should Illegally enter the country, theyd get too stop then.

I am guessing that this means......
that only players who have played "at the top level" will only get visas, so only SL clubs will be able to afford overseas players, notwithstanding the Kolpacks and dodgy deals that get through now and again.

This isn't a sleeping giant, it's a giant! Denis Betts Nov 2010 Twitter: @JoeyViking:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45011.jpg



Though the border agency is independent they do ask the RFL for recommendations, I remember them saying they said Bird was ok to sign as they felt was good for game or whatever!

So maybe the RFL pushed the agency for Gateshead players etc whereas let Leigh etc do it on there own?

Is funny how Aussies can't get in with pro contracts awaiting them yet others can with no jobs from middle east etc! Why not just grant a Visa for length of his contract? Not hard is it!

BTW On the 50% ruling in Footy it's also the nations outisde the EU and not in the FIFA top 70 world ranking! (Why Liverpool didn't get Mark Gonzales 1st time round even though he'd played enough for Chilie!).

Yeah Daily Mail reader, but have you ever actually TRIED to get someone into this country? Because it's DAMN HARD. Unless they are in the EU, in which case it's as easy as catching a plane, train or boat.

Fair comment but how come there are so many Aussies working the bars in London?

What are they doing that we're not? They can't all be students.

It wasn't all plain sailing for Gateshead Thunder with Puna Rasaubale advised to return to Australia - where he still remains.
