No I didn't. I asked what Hull fans really thought - I apologise for omitting the question mark, purely an error of punctuation, I promise. That I think what you've put above, is an implication you've drawn yourself - a potentially libellous one, in fact. But fear not, I'm not litigious.

Tbf, that was when I believed it to be honest. I'm still slightly incredulous that somebody would be so 'forthright', while dissembling.

"Mickey has enjoyed his time at Hull KR and he respects the club fully, and that is why we have put them in the picture and told them he will definitely be leaving," Mather said.
"We have told the club, politely but firmly, so to draw a line in the sand and let them plan for next season, that Mickey will not be there.
"The situation is that Mickey has multiple offers from Super League clubs to consider and, given his form this season, that was only to be expected.
"I won't comment on any specific offers, and we don't know where he will play at present. The plan is for Mickey to come home at the end of the season and weigh up his options."

The only bit that is "dishonest" is the last bit. And, I would reiterate that MP probably thought a statement such as this, rather than "MP has signed for HUll FC", would actually benefit his present employers more.

Don't think I commented much about that at the time assuming you mean Luke Briscoe? I think those circumstances are slightly different, re Hetherington, Rule etc

AP Laid into Leeds and the RFL found they had no case to answer.
The point is that it seems okay for AP to defend his club over player matters even when he was wrong to do so but NH can't defend his club over player matters.

Agree with the sentiment you offer, but the situation is not comparable. Luke Briscoe was a promising youngster, who went at the end of the season. You can even forget the shadowy circumstances around the move. leeds did nothing wrong as a club, AP should have toned it down. However, by ranting he did not destabilise the club mid season

We will shortly see how it effects us but with regard to chairmen gobbing off neither HKR or HFC can take the moral high ground which was my point.
Thus I find the digs at NH laughable.

Difference is, AP has only done it once.

He's not been in position as long.

God this is getting boring now he's going at the end of the season probably to Hull they have a good player we seem to have a good record at getting replacements so let's concentrate on that and move on the end

Well Mickey you certainly made me out to be a muppet last Friday on Humberside, saying i was very confident you wouldnt go across the river to the 2nd class citizens,i felt you was a different animal from Sharron Mc donut but unfortunately i was very very wrong, yes we all want to be paid more and i never for 1 moment thought you would stay at Rovers but AMBITION i am afraid seems to be a lost word.
While i am on one i think our chairman NH should stop whining to all who will listen and keep his powder dry for a while its becoming a little tiresome.

You have been magnificent for our great club Neil but please.

You dig up the Luke Briscoe situation which had shadowy, though not provable, circumstances around it and indeed saw a club employee sacked for his "oversight".

Yet this year alone the ambulance chaser has made embarrassing slurs against a SL employee (Jon Sharp), blubbered against the council for his failings over the new stand and vowed never to deal with them again (though you can bet he is), blurted out confidential talks with a player, and made mentions of "imminent new investment in the next few days" with nothing coming to fruition. All this may appeal to the knuckle draggers in the East Stand but it is amateurish in the extreme, though that is an insult to most amateur club chairmen who go about their business in a far more civilized and sensible manner than the grudge.

And the dobbins faithful come up with ridiculous praise for this man's "honesty", this despite a number of his pronouncements having little similarity to the facts of the matter and the grubby profession he indulges in for his working life. Keep worshipping him, grudge and the dobbins are a perfect match, no wonder Paea was desperate to get out.

You sound as though you have a deep rooted hatred of all things Hull KR. Did no one cuddle you as a child? There are people in the yellow pages who can help with your obsession.

ATEOTD It doesn't affect you. It's not your club so there's no point getting all bothered about it.

Very classy Erik you could even say you sound like one of those knuckledraggers you speak of
