Went round is gaff didn't I and stole his red kegs off the washing line didn't I. Yes I did.
Like cutting Samsons hair, game over.

| Quote: Sandra The Terrorist "It is, I want him to do well, why not? Young, English and talented.
I was hoping that with a new coach he would take the opportunity to reignite his development. He clearly hasn't done that. And that's the crux, you can have all the opportunities in the world but unless you grasp them then it matters not.
It's probably best he goes and someone else takes him under their wing, if that's to Hull and with Gentle and he succeeds, it'll stick in the craw a bit, but if he scores a series winning try against Australia at some point in the future I'll forgive him!'"
Thanks for a sensible answer, it was a genuine question for a better insight to him. I remember him coming onto the scene in 2010 scoring against us at KC, along with having a good go with Moa in the mass brawl. Wherever he goes, it will be a great shame to see his talent be wasted.

| Quote: SirStan "Of course not, its a bit daft to compare a full back with a loose forward for example. I would say that on present form, McDonnell, D.Hodgson, Hall, Dobson, Taylor, J.Hodgson, Galea & Lovegrove are playing better than their counterparts in your team.
Are you short tongued by the way, or is your speech impediment caused by excess dummy spitting?'"
McDonnell - Russel (Wasn't at Wakey, but in attack he's been excellent and very raw in defence. I expect him to be a future star)
Hodgson - Sharp/Crooks (Injured and not a winger, so yep)
Hall - Yeamo/Crooks (Just back from injury/playing on the wing. Crooks has been good since he has broke into the team, so yep again)
Dobson - Seymour (Thought it was one of the best game's I've seen your Goonie looking half back play against Hudds. Seymour needs a better SO next to him to see his full potential, however I have been getting more impressed with him as the season has gone on)
Taylor - Lynch/Moa (Don't think so on this one, sorry)
J. Hodgson - Houghton (Again, disagree. Houghton didn't have a brilliant game against Saints, but he is having a good season so far and will only get better when Heremaia is there to spell him)
Galea - Tickle (Not sure. Galea ran some good lines against Hudds, but Tickle has again had a good season, proved by earning his international cap this week)
Lovegrove - Westerman (Lovegrove doing well and Westy having a poor return from a long-term injury)

| Watts has plenty of talent, unfortunately we haven't seen enough of it recently, like I said earlier I font think he's as good as either player at Hull he's maybe been lined up to replace. If he really knuckles down there's no reason he won't do well, I'm just not sure he's got it in too knuckle down enough though. Time will tell with this Larakin lol.

Can't argue with any of that. Although not really getting Value for money with O Meley this season.
Think Hull are going the right way in terms of recruitment, trying to sign young English players, because of the increase in the NRL salary cap and exchange rate, the standard of overseas players will decrease over the next few years, so teams will have to replace there overseas players with English ones. Wigan is a good example losing Finch/Tommy L and replacing them with Smith.
Hopefully in will increase the standard of the British players.

| If we are prepared to let Watts go then the club must feel that James Green is a better prospect at this moment in time and willing to work harder at his game then Watts is, hope Green does come through becuase he has impressed everytime i've seen him play

Hopefully James Green will push for a place next season, with Watts, Wheeldon and hopefully Clinton gone then well need Green to step up.

Well the team should be picked on current form surely so what happened last year shouldn't matter at all.
Anyway Watts is gone apparently (Well according to the HDM as far as I have seen so far).

| Liam hasn't been seen at MS3CP since last Thursday according to Bonesy.
There are a number of stories circulating about Liam but the one about his antics at Knights training was the one that prompted him to ask to be released. Apparently CS was fuming over it.

I guess not according to my source's account of things. Anyway, its all history now. Liam has gone and for me it isn't good riddance, its more of a shame the way things have panned out. I wish him all the best at FC.
He can start off with a clean slate there.

| The kid needs to grow up fast. To be what twenty one (?) and potentially entering the last chance saloon as regard to being a top Super League player is really rather ridiculous.

| Let's be very careful about rumours that might in any way be considered defamatory. Cheers.
