A 25 year old reserve grader in Sydney can claim the old age pension.

As for bringing Cockayne back - just 'no' on so many levels. I don't get the obsession with him at all, even setting aside his regular lengthy club suspensions. Why not Jon Goddard? Liked Jon Goddard, me.'"
Gary Brown?
You read it here first.

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

| I have now reverted to my first impressions of him and have decided he is rubbish.
All the positive comments I have made over the last few weeks were lies.
One thing you do not do is sign for Hull if we want to keep you.
He's dead to me.

| Quote: bob bob bobin robin "If he doesn't want to play for us, fair enough, and good luck to him. He's been largely disappointing anyway and I'm glad the club aren't prepared to pay stupid money for an average player. IF the plan is to play Hall at FB next season, then get him playing there as of this friday (Blake Green dependant!) and bin Shannon off. We're supposed to be building for the future are we not??!!'"
I know fans are fickle and we get annoyed/frustrated when things like this occur but, Mcdonnell has definitely not been largely disappointing by any stretch of the imagination. Also there is still a long way to go this season so what exactly would be achieved by "binning off" McDonnell. He's still a rovers player at the minute and should be supported as such.

It's not a stretch of my imagination, it's my opinion that he's an average full-back who has in recent weeks started playing better. I'm also not annoyed or frustrated that he's moving on for that exact reason, as I said, good luck to him. I certainly won't be booing him and whilst he wears a Rovers shirt I will also support him, however I feel it's in the best interests of the team that IF we have plans in place to play someone who is already in the squad at FB next season, that player should play there from now on. That way they (and therefore the team) will be in far better position come the start of the season. IF the plan is to bring in another fresh signing at FB then fair enough, Shannon should clearly remain there. Just seems to make obvious sense to me.

| If true I would play him on Friday night to give the fans their opportunity to vent their feeling towards this individual. I would then let him kick his heals in the 20's for the rest of the season. JUDAS !!!!!

WTF?
Like when S. Briscoe or Wheeldon or Hall or J. Hodgson 'betrayed' them to join us?
Apologies for the sense of humour bypass, if you were joking!

| Good luck to him, he's found himself a better deal elsewhere and you can't knock that. Looked ordinary to start with but has shown great improvement over the last few weeks, well since stating he wasn't re'signing with us lol. IMO we haven't got a ready made replacement at the club so CS had best get looking.

| I'm ecstatic that our game is on TV on Friday so the watching public will be able to hear the East Stand finest boo McDonnell (should he play).
I can already hear Eddie giving it some. Hope Phil Clarke also goes at length to say that HKR fans shouldn't be upset because we signed him from Newcastle, ala Hull/Cas/Willie Manu.
Gonna' be a cracker.
