This has to be the most ironic post of the year and quite clearly sums up the obsession with the top RL team in Hull and lazy attempts to cling on to glories of yesteryear

You just couldn`t make it up

I could not see it myself, Rovers being in for him, but if they were I do not think it would be a signing that added much to the squad. This has nothing to do with him being FC because I rate him as a good solid player but where would he fit in the 17 and he would be a squad player at best. We already have similar players in Jason Netherton and Rhys Lovegrove who are utility forwards.

So, now you have found out we haven't gone anywhere near him with an offer and were never looking at him even at a fiver a week, this is what you come up with

What was it, a pint?

Yeah we said we wanted 80 minutes out of him.
His reply was 'we dont play 80 minutes at FC, you can get lost'.
