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.

Good to see Wheeldon get plenty of gametime, but Morgan's options have been limited by Aizue's mysterious non-selection, Fozzard's form dropping off and Mills being of reserve standard only. ![]()
Now this really is what you call a Rizzla argument!
To paraphrase, what you appear to be saying is that Morgan's options have been limited by his own decisions. 
Aizue- not selected. Coaches prerogative, he doesn't need a reason, it's his job to pick the team.
Fozzard- drop in form. Any chance of you naming a player that's ripped it up for 27 rounds, the CC and through the play offs in every single game? I'll make it easy for you, you can pick from any season from 1895 to present day.
Mills- reserve standard only. I'll grant you with hind sight it was certainly a mistake to give Mills an extension, but again, it's the coaches job to reassess players and pick the team. If we'd suffered injuries at the same time to Vella, Fozzard, Wheeldon, Lovegrove and Aizue then he'd have all of a sudden become a very valuable squad player.
Just to be clear, putting a wink at the end of your post is not a licence for said post to contain an absolute load of old tut.

| Quote: Sheldon "it looked like we wanted to make him into a impact prop from the bench, i myself was a little harsh on him begining to mid season last year saying he wasn't worth a new deal but that was forgetting he was our youngest prop we shouldn't have expected him to be the one leading the way with the likes of carvell, thackray, king, cusack and dowes playing along side him.
hull fans laugh at the reported 50k a year but i think hes worth it, not saying hes getting it, considering we kept king and thackray (on surely bigger deals) and signed maloney.
another f*** up!'"
Tell them to keep laughing. Knowhere near!! |

Barista's definition of "top quality" is players from the bottom club in the NRL, and we won't be signing any of them!

| Hudgell mentioned a couple of 'top-drawer' additions would be made to the squad. What constitutes 'top-drawer' is subjective and bringing in young British players with potential is something I applaud. I'm happy with the signing of Cook. I'll also be happy if we sign a hooker, but if it is Hodgson I'd think NH was guilty of a [ilittle[/i bit of hyperbole. I'd forgive him immediately and welcome Hodgson, but giving Mrs B a stick, even a small one, to beat us with is regrettable - there are few more tenacious.
Note to NH: stress 'youth', 'British' and 'potential' - 'top drawer' makes idiots on message boards get all over excited about Lockyer or Crocker.
Does the signing of Cook make us think it more likely be Stanley Gene's last season as a player? I suppose with Lovegrove and Netherton playing more in the front row, it ain't neccessarily so. If we are only signing two from outside the club, does that mean 2 or 3 more will be promoted from the reserves/academy? I hope so, personally. |

| Just reading that Wire have signed Solomona. Waiting to be shot down on this and im not certain on his quota situation but id have loved to have seen us take a gamble on him on a one year, maybe pay as you play deal. He's the type of forward we are lacking imo. Would've been the new Michael Smith  |

I can't imagine any established Super Leauge player agreeing to a pay as you play deal, especially one with such a bad injury record.

Wouldn't demand much on the salary cap either, just the odd trip to Burger King on stoneferry!

| Quote: Mrs Barista "Well at least we're narrowing it down. Assuming it's players who have been mentioned, could be any two from this list
Gibson
Brough
Diskin
Hodgson
Houghton
These have already been signed up AFAIK
Gibson - Signed for Salford (Turned Down Hull KR, Castleford, Warrington and Bradford)
Diskin - Not a chance, will involve a fee for one, and two, already designed his testimonial shirt for Leeds next season. Why'd he do that if he was leaving?

Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.:27608.jpg |

| My guess is Rovers will sign an award winning hooker. |
