Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Quote: Pepe "OK , I’ll bite.
This is total bullsh\t. Just in case it may have escaped your notice, the club has appeared in two cup finals in two years, winning one of them and narrowly losing the last one. This season we have used 41 players due to the worst injury crisis I have ever seen, and our coach has spent most of the season dealing with personal tragedy. It’s hardly suprising we struggled. We did put a little too much emphasis on bringing youth through, but is that such a bad thing?'"
Our club has appeared in 2 Grand Finals in the last 2 years, lost 1 and the other has yet to be written.
no point to my post.
i just like pointing it out 
I'll get my Coat  |

and our club has just won the under 18's academy league against all the super league clubs, a much better way forward than signing over the hill super league cast offs.

Some of those over the hill Super league cast offs as you say have helped us reach the Grand Final.
we know where were staying for the next 3 years at least so we have no need for Yoof at this stage |

i am quite sceptical about that at the moment given lewis and woods track record. it wouldn't surprise me if the goalposts change before march to allow toulouse to get a license. but i agree ropati is a cracking signing.

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]

Fair enough, but I’m not trolling on the Halifax board accusing Michael Steele of not bothering about fielding a competitive team because they can’t get through the early rounds of the NRC – a competition that has as much importance to getting to SL as the Grand Final these days.

Not difficult to work out really.
I find you often are arguing under pretence. You claim for example you support our bid on the odd occasion but then argue for thread after thread after thread with the same old drivel about how weak we supposedly are. You douse almost every bit of good news on here.
On the VT, mock sincerity is your whole game. You say one thing, but argue for hours on end another. I've seen you in the past contradict people who are accused of being "flat cappers" (whatever that means) and then go hours on end with the same arguments they were making.
Like I say, there's often two fronts to you. The diplomatic one that's false, and the negative one which is usually true. |

The thread I argued was the turnover,profit,finance one , and I will still argue the case if you want me to
As to the VT arguments , the only conclusion I can come to is yourself like many others still don't understand my opinion on ' licences ' |

Jesus was misunderstood too. They'll be nailing you to the gates of Castleford's brand new stadium. |
