Roger, Mike Smith, Casey, Broadhurst, Kellett, Burwell, Young, Agar, Watky, Miller, Prohm, Lowe ...........................................................etc

They have all left the club, but we survived.

Shannon Mac is a good player and I would like him to stay, but if he leaves I doubt he will be missed as much as 10% as much as the above list and by the time 2013 kicks off, he will be forgotten.

But was it so certain?
It didn't give figures apart from the 'substantial' tagline it didn't even say he had signed if I remember right.
It was very similar to the Shenton story with him going to HKR and we all know how that ended.
My point is still that we are supposed to dismiss the comments of the player, His team mates, Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers all on the say so of Mike White.
He may end up at FC but some won't even entertain that Mike White maybe wrong.

I would entertain Mike White.

Maybe do some juggling for him, a little bit of singing (not my forte I might add), throw some stilt walking in there and finish off with a strip tease. Could do all of them at once.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

I didn't hear the Shenton story, but the impression I got was that they weren't hedging their bets especially. There was all the 'understand' and 'sources' stuff, but not much equivocating with 'may' or 'could', iirc. Only listened once, tbf.

'Agreed', rather than 'signed' I think they said. I think we can be confident he definately hasn't signed, and that the story was groundless has to be entertained, at least. I don't think it is clear cut, either way. We'll see - the kid is free to ply his trade wherever he wishes, nowt for anybody to get their knickers in a twist over IMO.

Can still see Shannon signing for the Sharks,but mike black n white Gollum and blunderside have made a massive boo boo here, i will never boo anyone but can see it being quite hostile tomorrow for our No.1, no need to mention it at the moment!

True but there is a chance he is going to get a fair few booing him on Friday night.
Now although that isn't directly Mike Whites fault or problem there is the logic that what if this story isn't true do we conclude that Mike White was somehow responsible, I personally say not but the point still stands that some folks belive everything that the tellybox, radio or 'paper' tells them and no amount of denials will change that and as such they need to start taking things as a whole instead of just jumping to the whole 'It must be right as mr 'x' said so' as some are doing in this case.

Looooooooooooong sentence.

Don`t panic!

Yes, I'm sure East Hull's finest will make their feelings known.

Wouldn't the fact that something was made up, somewhat negate the need for getting facts right, due to the fact something being made up means it isn't a fact in the first place?
While you're looking for your manners ponder on that one.

I can only read aloud, I'd nearly gone blue by the end, people had the defibrillator out ready and charged.
