On the original point, the downside of the proposal to have one friendly is only one game in five months. Compare to Wilf's stats about 41 games in a season in days gone by. I think the off season is too long and leads to people disengaging - you can be virtually half a year with no opportunity to see the first team. That's rubbish.

Friendlies are a waste of time and I do not do them, the season could do with a warmer upper and help teams to progress.

Bring back the county cups, cede the SL clubs to come in after round one 16 teams in each county get a decent backer, maybe play both finals in one place on the road if possible. The teams have to compete from day one and they have meaning and an extra cup to win, one older then the Challenge cup as well. An FC V KR meeting with a cup of merit at stake as purpose and would ignite fans more then "training sessions with species"

Really ?

Bloody hell. KR troll.

I think they were trying to get out of the York game. Obviously Ellis was awarded his testimonial in October after this interview in September.

Structured is a Rovers fan whose post profile evidences 62% negative comments about Hull FC on the Hull FC board. You'd think it'd be answering Rob Crossland's call for increased usage of Royston Vasey rather than posting repetitive sh1ite on here.

I haven't been to a friendly for years (decades), with the exception of one or two testimonials - for fans they really are pointless.

If you really want pointless, try this for size.......



Imagine AP announcing this.

Of course - it's just that there are local "faithful" who agree hook line and sinker with him on a regular basis. Just a punt - obviously.

Steve Michaels is playing for Doncaster on Sunday. Ooh.

I see you did a bit of analysis on this loon too Mrs. B. I ran a similar exercise and came to exactly the same conclusion. He has earned the right to be called a professional troller.

I agree with Pearson .

bumpy and bono.
They will be ejaculatory if we, god forbid, lose our first couple.

Me too . 2 friendlies is enough against SL opposition.

Not only did the first 17 NOT get 2 full games games together, the majority won't have had many minutes playing time in over 3 weeks before the Hudds game(the last meaningful game time being the first half of the rovers match). So whatever this 2 game plan was the timing and putting (the majority of the first 17) up against a 3rd tier team was a mistake.
But that is far too intellectually advanced for you to understand, which by definition makes you a dobbins fan..
