[quote="Frank Zappa":1sacjrvf]Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.[/quote:1sacjrvf]

| Quote: jinkin jimmy "Strange but I can't see the word "shattered" anywhere in that report. His wrist was of no concern to Wigan and has presumably passed a fitness check with Salford. I don't think we need to rationalise his move by claiming he is too old or too injured. We wanted to keep him, he chose to leave, what's wrong with owning up and saying you wished he had stayed. Or are those who are rationalising going to tell us they had these concerns all along?'"
To be honest I heard that his wrists were shattered to the point he couldn't lift weights from a fairly reliable source, then that article came out a good few months later which I took as validation that what he was saying was true, then a few months later we sold him and I assumed that was taken into consideration when deciding whether to try to outbid Salford. I'll happily stand corrected if anyone knows that his wrist was of no concern as you say but I'd be very suprised if a wrists injury which he has obviously been told will re-occur was of no consequence to IL and SW

| Quote: SaleSlim "I see none of you are bothering to dispute the Butcher's logic? Everything above is spot on, it's just that it's too much for some fans to take when little old Salford turn the tables and take away a prized asset from one of the "big 4". For 25 years I've had to suffer the likes of Wigan, Wire etc taking our best talent because, let's face it, Salford have never been in a position to compete and hold on to them. The Salford area isn't a massice production line for RL talent when compared with the likes of Wigan and it's been galling to see the likes of Betts, Morley, Watkins shine for other SL clubs when a strong Salford could have been in a position to offer them a decent career with the chance of success. With Dr K on board Salford fans now have genuine hope that the next Morley, Betts, Watkins may well see Salford as an attractive proposition and let's be honest, playing for your hometown club in any sport is a massive thing for most people.
BTW, it's spelt Koukash... some of you seem to have a problem with the spelling.
The logic of Sale Slim is difficult to disagree with but would HH be as keen to play for his home town club without the Dr's cash..........
I wish the lad well he has been a great servant to Wigan.

| Spoke to H last year (2012) and again this year about contracts and where he'd like to be. Said he'd never want to leave Wigan provided they paid him the going rate for a first choice second row - and yes, gave me figures. Said that Salford were interested and a good offer was around, but that he'd stay at Wigan on LESS than that offer
Oh, and his old man wanted him to go back to the Southern Hemisphere!

| Bit O/T but just read on the Hull board Tuson has slipped a disc in pre season and has already been ruled out for 5 months, when will the lad catch a break? Always seems to get an injury when he has a big opportunity. Gutted for him.

5 Months slipped disc? I sneeze and my disc slips but back to normal after a week or two, usually happens every other month. talking of bad backs was thinking about this after watching Wigan Tv anybody else think Paul Prescott might make a reappearance this season?

| Loyalty to a club is all well and good but a player must look to their own future. Good luck to H. I also think that we should wish good luck to Salford as a whole because we need an improvement in standards across the league to bring the investors in. I just hope that the Dr is there for the long haul.
