So does that mean he would all of a sudden lose the ability to catch!

at least rule actually comes out and talks,whether it's on his radio programme or via the website.the same cannot be said of hetherington and the rest of the directors,who just seem to ignore everyone,and use rule to cover for them.i really feel sorry for the guy!!! any neutral person would percieve kath & co as ignorant

I think James Rule does a good job letting us know what he can. Much of the bile that has been aimed at him this season has emanated from the Crocker, Lauaki visa fiascos which were nothing to do with FC. If he tells us someone is injured and then they find the scan proves it to be wrong some folk would be saying "it was just spin". Rule cannot second-guess what's in the minds of every supporter simultaneously - I'm pretty sure, whilst we think FC is important, that it's spokesperson is not omnipotent.

Also, when I have made an attempt to speak with KH she has always made the time, been very open and appeared to be very passionate about Hull FC. I suggest people try to talk with her rather than assume that all that is said about her is true and then form your own opinion. I'm sure one or two of you will have had a different experience but, if so, perhaps it's because she's a human being (cue the cheap shots) who has good and bad days like the rest of us. Btw she is not the club's designated spokesperson which is why Rule is the one doing all the talking.

I've had a reply from every single email I have sent to him, in the last one he assured me we were actively searching for a good half back (along with every other club!). Lo and behold within 2 days we had signed Longy. Some of the bad luck our club has endured is beyond belief and at times you have to give the benefit of the doubt.

rule's a decent media man, it's the rest of the job he seems to have problems with

I think its right what unknownlegend said and we cut the board a bit of slack, they have gone out and put there money where the mouths are and bought in three very good players with a mixture of youth and experience and there is also two more good signings on the way, I don't see clubs like Wigan who are trying to sign everyone and cannot get anyone getting as much stick as our board. They went for Fitzgibbon and Long and we got them both so its says something about the club. Agar will be judged on next season and believe me if we are where we are now next year, him and Jon Sharp will be out.
