Fish of back to OZ ain't he when his contract runs out think thats why Morgan didn't give him the no9 this season but think Murrell change of position backfired a bit, think Fisher is playing some good rugby at mo and can change a game when he comes on the field, and Cook as had a bit of a up and down season again given the chance think he could do well. Good to see Vella back this week...

Turns on "pmh-late".

Ahem.

Young Master Fisher is more than likely to return to Australasia at the end of his stipulated lenght of employment with Hull Kingston Rovers. This is likely to be the reason for Mr. Morgan honouring Young Master Murrell with the traditional shirt number for the hooker within the game of Rugby Football League, the number nine. However, in my esteemed opinion this tactical switch cannot be acclaimed as a success.

I feel that having over come these tribulations, Young Master Fisher is rewarding the fans of the Hull Kingston Rovers club with some tip top displays, his influence when he enters the arena of battle is often unequivocal in it's positivity.

Moving along, may I opine on Young Master Cook? I feel that he has been perhaps a little up and down this term but one should not use this to his detriment. I belive that Young Master Cook has the potential, if shown faith, to turn in some sterling performances for this our marvelous club.

As an aside, I am heartened to see the return of our Towering Captain, Mr. Vella.

"pmh-late" off.

TIA

OMG pmh what are you giving it.............

Turns on "pmh-late"

My goodness Master pmh, you are a rotter, bounder and scoundrel of the highest order. Any more of these disgraceful scenes wil result in me striking you across the temple with my finest mauve velvet gauntlet.

"pmh-late" off.

You need a check up from the neck up PMH...

Point of order pmh. I believe you omitted rapscallion

In future you could avoid such omissions by enabling "auto-cad".

I consider myself rightly reprimanded oh wise grey haired man from the sea about to enbark on strolling up slope.

Before anyone starts; I'm well aware the above user is a few dolly mixtures shy of a quarter, but I have to admit finding ways to load the squad with aussies doesn't inspire me with a whole lot of confidence.

I can only hope we're continuing down this route as a short-term fix until better home-grown players become available both off contract and from our own academy system. I'd hate to see us come unstuck if the RFL decided to close a few of these loopholes.

The thing is, if Rovers load their squad with as many Aussies as they can, within the rules, in place of Brits [itrained at other clubs[/i, this reflects our opinion of the systems of the British clubs that produced those Brits, not the strength of Rovers set-up. Either way it represents 'buying in' talent, rather than producing it. The only real virtue is in producing your own - with maybe a bit of credit for giving a player from the championship a shot. Signing players, [iincluding Brits[/i, from other clubs to fill in the gaps in the stuttering production line is just churn and adds nothing to the system - unless perhaps they will play a more prominent role in your squad.
Unfortunately, it is a subtle and maybe even counter-intuitive point, so for purely political reasons, it might well be wise to not max ourselves out - then again I don't see much self-denial going on elsewhere.

Ahhhh. All becomes clear!

Rumours of a fractured cheekbone?

Thought it was a scratched eye ball which in itself is bad enougjh aint that through gouging..

Morgs will let us know , he said after the Salford game it was a scratched eyeball and his eye had swollen up.
Hope Benny G recovers soon, awesome player makes all the difference when he is on the park and can change games , and a top guy too.
