I comment on every match win, lose or draw unless I don't see the game live and last week I didn't go.

Just like I don't expect to see as much feedback about your match today given only 3,879 people attended.

He also asked to be released from the final year of his contract. But when did Zod ever deal in facts?

What ever way it's dressed up you either get value for money from signing a player or you don't and all the indications are, are that Gareth Ellis is going to struggle to beat the 11 appearances he made last season which is poor value.

Given the chance would you have had him at kr before this season had started ?

The context of the original point was that player-x leaves club-x at what was seemingly the right time in hindsight. The circumstances of each player's departure were not mentioned.

Anyway, if you want to carry on bel13ving you've got a value for money signing in Ellis on 160k per year then good for you because it makes no difference to me - I'm happy very happy with our second-row signing in Cory Paterson who's form has been noted by many to be excellent.

FC fans have to understand that whilst they continue to sign players who are well past their best, then it will inevitably be mentioned occasionally on a rugby league discussion board so they need to stop being so paranoid.

If it was on a 2 year deal and on reasonable money then yes but this season has really hit home to me that being tempted by signing "big names" over 30 is just asking for trouble and thankfully my club have realised this at the back end of last year.

Must be a sad indictment of the rest of the comp if a current England international is deemed past his best.

Let me know when the likes of timuavave (sp) and Patterson ever get to that level of best

Paterson has been much better value than Ellis so far this season. FACT.
The stats don't lie
Ellis
Meters gained 0
Try assists 0
Tackles 0
Runs from dummy half 0

You get the idea

Ellis is proving to be the same value as O'Hara & Gleeson. Unfortunately for Rovers, our 2 will be out far longer than Mr Ellis.

HOW MANY??? In any kind of weather my arris.

Jesus Jake nobody said Paterson or Tuimi were better than Ellis? They simply implied Ellis probably won't play HIS best rugby for FC which with his injury problems over the last 2 1/2 years is a fair statement. Though it must be added that when Ellis does come back and IF he gets a run of games he will probably be the best back rower in this league. As for yesterday's game yes Burns played brilliantly and we are a far better team with him in it, We actually look like we might defend a set in our own half when he plays. Our pack at home this season(Wigan apart) has been very impressive and considering the average age of it we should be confident for the future. Walker has been brilliant these past few weeks and there should be alot more to come from Green and Beaumont. We need a bit more consistency away from home and we should make the 8 and u never know in the cup!! Difference between our 2 and there 1 is there 1 is probably on twice as much as our 2 put together!!

It is. But then again, I'm not sure he'll be an international this year.


Well considering Tuimavave has got a World Cup winners medal I don't quite get what you mean and regarding Paterson, he's still improving so who knows how good he's going to be.

I dont know who the top payed player at hull is and neither do you
