we are all bitchy today what is up are you all board and cant wait for the season to start

No... based on, in his words, an exceptional performance for England v Australia, especially in the second match!!

Unfortunately i don't hang on his everyword coz he talks such utter dross. But the fact remains Danny didn't the 40 man squad earlier this year and Macca has previous for saying and doing totally different things.

That said i rate Danny Houghton highly as i do Josh Hodgson and Craig Hall

So it was only based on one performance then?? I guess that would put just about every English player in the frame

Well I'm sure your going to listen to his opinion over mine but how highly do regard McNamara's opinion, not proved to be the best coach around!

I read a few reports, mostly on here I must say on the game he played against the Aussies and there seemed to be mixed feelings on his performances.

Anyhow, cant see him getting any first team action next season so I think it may be a while before you see him anywhere near McNamara's international squad.

Sadly for you, the inescapable FACT is that Newton's iconic moment this season was "She Fell Over". We had the last laugh, courtesy of Wigan, and the inspirational genius that is the cheeky Mr Sam Tomkins. Strike a light, what a talent.

Quote: Roofs "You laughed at us for getting further then you in the play-offs before losing to the best team in the country?! See my sig. She Fell Over. Confirmation from the RFL that we finished above you in final placings today also, despite the nonsense about restating placings after the play-offs. And this also which you were keen on as a topic but now strangely seem to be avoiding: www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html 'tis the season to be jolly etc. Mason on his way. Good times in Hull.

Have they? Interesting, that's a change from previous seasons isn't it?

Dont expect a reply from her on here in the near future...

Its like Christmas come early

Take care Mrs B.

I didn't actually mention that Lyne would be anywhere near the full England squad, i simply stated that Steve spoke very highly of him. FWIW i do respect alot of what Steve says and i think he has a great knowledge of the game, i'm not sure about his qualities as a coach but he's obviously well respected to get the job. We don't know him to judge.
