who was Wayne Parking?. Was he any good.

Crap moustache

I've got none Chief. Kelly's hair this year has been a disgrace from day one. Corn row's? Really? You won't find the members of Fat Freddie's Drop sporting those.

I was also dismayed to turn over my Revers calendar and find that Donaldson couldn't spell "off" on his wrist strapping

Sir Dave Brailsford often speaks of "marginal gains", whilst we allow such mediocrity to rule we will forever be on the verge of paying Charon his coin.

For what you know about rugby league, you could write it on an ants b0llocks with a bingo marker!

Yeah, I'll take advice from someone who can't even spell their own signature (which, by the way, is absolutely dragging the bottom of the barrel, as if you'd dropped that barrel in the old fish meal factory off Clive Sullivan Way and unexpectedly dragged up several dead cows and sheep and perhaps the odd sloth to go with your intellect it stinks so bad) if you had a modicum of... Well, really anything.

You've been around a while and not posted much, stick to that, it's your forte.

Chill out I was only kidding!

More to the topic, does anyone know for sure how long Mantellato is sidelined for? The team really miss him I think, not just for his goal kicking (which will haunt us in a tight knit game) but for his marker running and areal ability in both defence and attack.
Does anyone know how long he will out for?

If it is a broken wrist /arm as reported, then you are usually looking at between 6 and 8 weeks for it to heal, plus he will then have to get back into training before he is fit enough to take the field.
So, bearing in mind he has already been out a couple of weeks I would say possibly somewhere between 6 and 9 weeks before he is back in action, unless they are going to use that new bone fusing technique some specialists have apparently started using.

James Webster interview yesterday on Hull KR TV said that only James Donaldson and Albert Kelly were due back before June.

Donno has his pot off and will resume training in advance of the Oldham cup tie. One of Albert's man boob implants has burst (rib cartilage to you and I) and he will be back in a fortnight.

So Larroyer, Mantomato, Salter and Campo out till June on the basis of my razor blunt deduction skills. Surprised French Kev is taking so long.

Good work inspector

They'll all bit fit for Wembley when Campo lifts the CUP !!!

I be chillin',
But you be illin',
So I be bringin'.

My sincere apologies to all users of the forum, I have been listening to a little too much of the, what I believe is called, in the youngsters parlance "Hippetty Hoppetty" music.

Normal service will soon be resumed.

Are you having midlife crisis,myself I've just rediscovered my Sultans of Ping FC CD 90s class

I think I am.

I'm twenty years too old for my new car and I'm ten years too old for the current Ms. Terrorista.

If anyone spots me wearing a leather flying jacket and listening to Wings, I hope The Courts accept this as my permission to be shot on sight.
