All this and we're still above you in the table. What does it say about you?

When we signed Obst, the Wakefield fans were gutted they lost him instead of Jefferies - Obst isn't an amazing signing but he's better than Ben Jefferies. Similarly Phelps, he isn't amazing but at least he got a game in the NRL and the SL Champions whereas Shad Royston could only get a game in the the Championship until you signed him.

Wonder where he stands on the 'mince-o-meter'? and how long it will take him to get on it - about half a game?

Yes above us in the table by 1 whole point - what does this say about you ??

We have a terrible coach.

But as most of you FC fans are stating your squad is alot better than ours, so regardless of your coach, if you players are much better then why only the 1 ahead of us ??

PS. Your points diff doesnt mean you are good at attacking just means we have been very poor defensively - but that being said your results arnt much better than ours based on pionts, so how do you establish that your team is better ??

Or is that just your OPINION

Ofcourse it is my opinion

. However, it is backed up by a few facts. We have scored my points than you. FACT. We have conceded less points than you. FACT. We have more competition points than you. FACT. It is the opinion of others that our overseas players are of a greater calibre than yours. FACT.

On paper, our team is so much better than yours. That is my opinion. Do you not feel the head coach makes much difference?

Im not saying they dont make a difference when clearly they do, not aiming this at yourself as i know a few FC who want Agars head and their decision will not change however, there is alot of fickle FC fans who want him out one minute then when you have afew wins they say well maybe he should be given another go.....................

But mainly i believe (which is just my opinion) that it is down to the players and their attitude to the game, because once they are out on the park if they revert from the game plan there isnt much the coach can do !!!

that's ace!

when I'm stating facts next time I'll use that.

jolly sporting of all the usual hull trolls to provide so much potential sig material for sunday night

ANYWAY back on topic - I think Lulia will be a good signing for us and bring the same prospect that Hape did

Big prediction. For the sake of SL, I hope so too.

only youtube i could find on 2.10 Keith runs through a gap and sets up a try. number 5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZgdwyDFSJU

Quote ="roopy"only youtube i could find on 2.10 Keith runs through a gap and sets up a try. number 5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZgdwyDFSJU'" Doesnt he actually break the tackle on that tho as oppose to just running through a gap ?? If it the one im thinking of against Roosters ?

PS - you can have Shannon McDonnell - the try scorer - as well

Its mentioned as a break in the video description and I suppose technically it is but the opposing player barely lays a hand on him and its more a case of him running through a gap IMO.

Why whats up with him ha ha

Take it you dont rate Lulia then ???

Only had a quick glance this morning wasnt really paying much attention

We have Darius Boyd, Aku Uate, Kurt Gidley, Junior Sau, Wes Naiqama, James McManus, and the young guy in that clip Pete Mata'utia.
All rep players or future rep players.
Next year we have a Billionaire backer who has signed Wayne Bennett and put bids in for half the Australian side.

We don't need our fringe backups - we will replace them with rep players.

Fcuk the salary cap. We'll buy a million dollar lawyer too.

The Knights are unloading about a dozen decent players and signing a dozen better ones.

Here is a team of Quota and Academy players. Personally I rekon this team could do well against a fit Hull team. Could you come up with a similar team at Hull?

Halley
Ah Van
Crookes
Sykes
Finigan
Kearney
Southernwood
Kopczak
L'Estrange
Crossley
Olbison
Whitehead
Langley

Addy
Burgess
Donaldson
Bateman

Certainly exciting times at Newcastle.

In many ways the place has a lot in common with Bradford. The centre is shrinking, spurred on by the declining steel industry (see wool for Bradford), and it is becoming a commuter town for a larger neighbouring city. On the other hand, Newcastle has a coastal location with a good climate & decent beaches, not to mention a big money investor in the city's RL team, whereas Bradford has very little going for it.

Hmmmm Exeter, the thriving tourist hotspot of the south.
