The ONLY key factor for me is desire. We will know if he has it when he gets here.
So, for me, I give PR and DB the benefit of the doubt...could be a van Gaal moment!'"
Couldn't have said it better myself  |

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 |

Might have helped if our coach at the time would have played him in his preferred position, instead of playing him at hooker because he didn't like PR....'"
And then bringing in another hooker ( Robbie Mears ) but assuring us he would be played as a half back , no wonder he no longer is working in RL, complete bell end |

Im sure Ferris only played 3 games for us , which were Huddersfield (h) Warrington (a) and he got hurt in the Salford (h) game , I also think it was a leg injury , he never played again , I could be wrong though  .Hardley showing signs of a class player .
As for Dazzler ?He was never on my Christmas Card list , though I wasn't on his either , I remember him say "Rob Burrow , will never be big enough to make it in Rugby ", Dazzler knew  . |

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

It wasnt big enough as I recall, he said he wasnt good enough, this was just after Tommy had single handedly almost put Sheffield out of the Challenge Cup at Hilton Park playing for Miners
We wanted Ian Watson, he insisted on Robbie Mears
So Ben Jeffries eh?  |

This reminds me of a similar thread over on the wire board when we signed Asotasi last year. "He was great for Souths in 2007...in Smith we trust" etc. I hope that is where the similarities end!

Was amazed and disappointed that abram wasn't fired off as soon as we had won gf. He never seemed up to the job. Someone decided to keep him on despite the televised evidence as to his stupidity.
