Remind me again what he won?

I have the same level of proof at the accusation levelled at the Walker brothers, which prompted my comments.

That Albert medal and a couple of dream team t-shirts?

If he jumped off a cliff?

Oh, I know.

Get a grip, you would have swapped Horne for Dobson many moons ago, one of biggest mistakes your club had made in years was not getting Dobson.

I personally can't understand the Gale signing, it's never going to take you to the next level.

That old argument eh? The only measure of quality. Would you agree that Blake Green is a better No.6 than Trent Barrett?

Exactly, nothing.

Not once would I have swapped Horne for Dobson, and it's hard to classify us making a 'mistake' by not signing him considering it was impossible.

Round of applause and a party at mine.

He was more successful, which is what I said about Horne over Dobson. As a fan, i'd rather have 2005, 2006, 2008 & 2013 over Dobson and Horne was integral to all of that, thanks.

That'd be some party.

With one notable absentee.

Horne and Dobson are two totally different players and it is hard to compare them.

They would have worked brilliantly together though.

It is pretty clear that Pearson is less than gruntled with the McCrae-Gentle-Howes axis and the players they recruited for Hull.
The camp seems to have been divided, to an extent that surprises me tbh. I never took Smailes' wonderful colour pieces very seriously, but your team looked pretty together when you beat Warrington in Huddersfield. I wonder why it unravelled so suddenly after that?
Maybe the Andy Hay sacking was an early symptom?

Perhaps 'clear the decks' is/was a more realistic approach than trying to get everybody to pull together - though in an ideal World you'd want the latter. It'd have likely required an appointment to head coach from outside the club, though.

Carvell for McDonnell looks a sensible rebalancing of the squad, grabbing an opportunity.

Mason (unless the prognoses on Watts [iand[/i Green are worse than rumored) and Gale look a bit more 'any port...' to me.



The Sky windfall looks to have come at a good time for a number of clubs, for a variety of reasons. A timely omniboost, as it were!
