You're being a bit silly now. You said that the current squad + some astute signings could win more games which would mean challenging for Top 2. I'd say that's the definition of making "connections".

In terms of the (off-topic) "robust" business model at FC, I don't think it's fair to mock 6 years of profitability which was based taxation arrangements that, up to April 2011 were within the law and widely adopted across many clubs and sports, but have now been ruled retrospectively as attracting a tax liability. I'm sure your confidence that it's nothing to worry about from Rovers perspective is well-founded. Believe me, I'm grateful for Pearson's acquisition of FC and swift steps to resolve the tax issue. Otherwise it would have been a reasonable expectation that FC would have gone to the wall.

hull fc go to the wall, never. just merge with somebody, pretend nothing happened and call yourself hull fc est. 1865

If Sandercock is appointed are you going to admit you made that up

So Moore was cheesed off- your words because he couldn't sign a player for a job he wasn't offered

Should we not be asking who was at the top of Rovers list for a coach?

Go on then, who was it?

And that could have been Billy Slater but doesnt mean we could afford his wanted list.

So a coach who has not got the job would have appointed someone contoversial as his assistant if indeed he had got the job which he hasn't got.

Thanks for that. Any more 'shocks' to reveal? Can't say I'm reeling.

Tbf if Jarrad Hickey was at the top of a coaches wanted list I wouldn't have offered him the job either.

If he is talking to a player he used to coach that he can't name right now, it would be a Manly player.
Nothing stopping him talking about any off contract Knights.

He's only been at the Knights 2 years - he was at Manly 8 years and coached a good part of the guys in the grandfinal squad.

Can I just say that I've found roopy's posts very interesting and insightful.

Best thing about RLFans is the way that fans of other clubs are readily available with their opinions.

Cheers roopy.

Sounds like that could be Cuthbertson

I think the club should look at offering a position to roopy. He clearly knows what he's on about unlike the rest of us.

Roops, what are you like at construction?
