But I was using Leuleuai and Finch as examples, hence my use of "the likes of". Interesting point of view to think that Wigan will be improved by losing those 2 and that Smith will be operating next year at a level above what they do now, not one that I share. I think that we'll see the impact of players like Brett Hodgson, Adrian Morley and Steve Menzies retiring (signed on deals in the UK before the NRL cap increase) and perhaps the best British players are tempted to follow Graham and the Burgesses (ultimately Tomkins, maybe Briscoe, for example), so the absolute quality will decrease. In which case your prediction of Salter and co climbing the steps at Wembley next year, I think, could well be realised.

Excellent reference to Russell's drunkenness BTW. Were you sharing a tap water with Sandy?

Wigan will be better next year than this, i'm convinced. Assuming of course that Sam Tomkins isnt tempted away.

You will remember the list of names that gave a couple of years ago that i said would star for Rovers next season. Lets see how far out i am.

With regards Russells drunkenness, i was actually out with a Championship player who is sitting on a full time contract offer from Hull for next season. He wasnt drinking water either.

Did you get past first base?

Fair enough


You said they'd be more than starring for Rovers, you said they'd be climbing the steps at Wembley. Or was it Old Trafford? Looking a safe prediction either way, maybe both, with 8 trade-ups arriving soon.


Right. Just so we're clear, then, we [ucan[/u post about players out drinking. Maybe even Rovers ones seeing that this is the Rovers board. Obviously hypothetical under the tap water regime.

I saw Hally drunk the other week, he still can't hold his beer either.

The shame of it all, rugby players drinking beer. Society going down the pan.

Evening Sandy.

Will they not think of the children...

Fuck.

Is he signing it?

No, he's going to while away his years in the lower leagues rather than signing for Hull

So there are no rumours on transfer activity i take it!

You've been missed...

Rumbled.

So just so I'm clear, the only rumours we have to talk about are whether or not rugby players in Hull drink alcohol?
This close season will be fun!

A mod wouldn't post rumours about it, only FACTS. If you do see a Rovers player out boozing, or even doing so at home, you have to share now on here in the interests of balance.

This thread should be re-named "The Magnificent Quality Seven", to back up the Easty report of 11 out, 8 quality in, with Lopini Paea already done according to rumour and the Shenton snub. Toppest quality players most heavily linked (in some cases made up due to lack of linkage) are as follows:
Webb (or McDonnell, but he wouldn't count as he's not an "out"icon_wink.gif
Will Sharp
Newcastle centre
NRL prop
Jon Wilkin
Willie Manu
Keith Senior

Off you go.

maybe it should be off you go back to your own board they must be missing you

Now, now. If she did that who would tell us what we should be discussing on our own board?

Not really, it's me, as usual, trying valiantly to keep threads on track when there's deliberate derailment onto FC players drinking habits. Come on, chaps, read the thread title and give me your Magnificent Quality Seven Signings. Rumours are fine, completely on topic.

I know it's not directly related to Rovers, but I've just heard a rumour, from a very reliable source, that Peter Gentle has lost his dog. He was out walking it and unfortunately let the lead slip, AGAIN.

How thick does Tom Briscoe sound? Haha.

rumour has it, fc gave away a 30 - 10 lead!! hahahaha and briscoe does sound absolute mince!

All won at 50 minutes, the commentators were even convinced.

Gentle spat his dummy out again (did the same at the derby friendly) and wouldn't talk to the media.

I said we had 8 possible players coming in but not sure I mentioned quality. Not sure we have the money for 8 quality players. If where using the term quality I'd be wanting players of the standard of Tom Briscoe.

U listening on radio they going to keep the problems they have in house love it when doc bigs em up yeah yeah grt try FC looking good 79 minutes Er flop
