Grudge is bitter because his choice of replacement -carvel is off to Bradford. Now gonna be scraping around for a bargain replacement.

Good tactics from Hudge, gets to imply to his ever diminishing fan base that we have overpaid before we get chance to make a splash over the signing.

Gave me a little chortle this morning.

Good news if true and not Hudge stirring it

What a Grade A Dilloid Hudgell is. He has stated he doesn't have a problem with Paea moving on but clearly he does. I see no winner in this only a loser, I would also think this puts Paea & the rest of the team in a very uncomfortable position for the rest of the season. I can't see Sandercock being happy with his chairmans latest gobspat either as it just makes things difficult and unpleasant all round with the club.
As FC fans we are all aware of the same situations you only have to look at Tickle & Briscoe as an example from this season thats just the way it goes.

So where was Hudgells conscious when he was repeatedly asked by the media about Cooke when it was already signed and sealed yet he kept saying he had had no contact with him or his father. Yet again smacks of a bitter man and totally unprofessional, plus a cynic would say a diversionary tactic from financial issues of his club and lack of investment coming in.

Neil Hudgell's definition of "Over The Odds" anything HKR can not afford.

HKR attempting to make/stay in the 8 and he comes out and basically undermines one their best players, shows how he can not resist a opportunity to have a poorly disguised dig at FC.

TBF, I'm not sure it was even disguised at all

good luck to him hope its a big money deal great player and by all accounts good bloke

Hudghill and the rovers fans should be ashamed of themselves in all of this but wont be as is typical of the small minded blame everyone else leeching culture that there club lives on. Pathetic the lot of em

As a Rovers fan, exactly what have I got to be ashamed of with regard to the excellent Mickey Paea moving to Hull?

On topic, he was good last year, great this. As you're all aware you've got yourself a top player. I sometimes think his ability to retain his feet and steal a couple more metres in the tackle actually slows the play down but the fans will love it.

His bullocking runs will give the team and the atmosphere a lift.

He's put it on the line whilst at Rovers and owes us nothing, it's galling but you've paid his worth, that's how pro sport works. I know O'Meley has gone well for you guys but at their respective stages of their careers I really think Paea will be an upgrade for you.

Good luck to him.

Great signing

Good post

Great post. Would have loved to see the Ogre and Mickey in the same team but not to be.
