No. You were told before the season started that there would be two relegation spots in SL in 2005. Hell, I knew it when we got relegated in 2004. You and Widnes entered the comp knowing that there were two relegation spots. You promptly occupied them. You were both relegated, in line with the rules of the competition you agreed to when entering it. Neither of you was 'hard done by' or has any ground for complaint.

Amazingly you are right , for once

, hows the stadium coming along , 2015 maybe ?

Wheldon Road will become the "preferred style" of stadium in a massive RFL u-turn. A bit like when they altered the seating requirements for Cas early in the franchising malarky. Mind you, they knew about it so there's no point in kicking up a fuss

Sadly you are right

Wonder if they've still got all those portaloos dotted around the place - you know the ones they put in to help meet the criterea for promotion back to SL?

Yes. I read it, a few days later the article had been updated to match the one on BBC site.

It might have been marketing weekly, can't remember now.

not exactly an answer to any of the questions i asked but hey ho.

not entirely sure they did . hendo was born in uk and therefore i'm pretty sure would qualify to play for england.

rinaldi can hardly be classed as an overseas player in a european superleague.

we cant all get by with the seven like leeds.

anyways..the point being made was that regardless of where they come from, there are enough players out there.

Classic

Erm in our 1st season in SL we took up the players who had the following appearances

James Webster 24
Ben Fisher 25
Ben Cockayne 21
Jon Goddard 20
Scott Murrell 23
Jason Netherton 22
Byron Ford 14
Makali Aizue 19
Gareth Morton 11
Ian Morrison 11
David Tangata-Toa 17
Tommy Gallagher 9
Jon Steele 5 (But he broke his leg which restricted him playing more games).

So your stats are a complete lie Smokey. I could have added more names of players we took up into SL but they've played less then 5 games.

You know Smokey will have a bench mark of 26 games to claiss them as regulars, dont you?

Then he would still be lieing as none of the 3 he mentioned played that many games

Thats nice. Im not sure how, bar the inclusion of Netherton, you thought it was an argument against [iIn fact only Murrell, Fisher, and Cockayne featured with any regularity and are still there now,[/i but its nice all the same.

They didnt come through the british RL system which is where you said the players we could add would come from.

Well no, the point you made was that there was players in youth teams, on dual contracts, and in the lower leagues who could play SL. I asked if there were, why are there so many overseas players in SL?

Yes sorry Smokey but what with you constantly changing your arguement all the time what do you expect.
Stiil as you rightly state Netherton proves that you were infact talking rubbish.

Well you will be the only person on the whole planet to think that Eastys post backs your argument.

What do you think about it I changed?

It was a simply misunderstanding, Easty clearly made a mistake in what he thought my argument was compared to what it actually was and he named 12 players who dont play for HKR any more

It seems you still dont understand it.

Easty's post doesnt back my argument, it doesnt even address it.

Bur does knock back this post.



They did build a team in NL1

Bar Vella, Ward, Bauer, Lovegrove, O'neill, Dyer, Hardman, Lennon, Cooke, Tandy, Gannon, they did. So apart from the 12 first team players they signed.

when 12 players make a team? Or squad for that instance?

The argument was that I suggested that you could potentially take 60/70 percent of a Championship team up to SL with you as HKR did , you suggested they only took up 3 players

So you were WRONG

End of , that bum crack of yours needs a wipe

This is why i don't respect Smokey as an authority. He doesn't have the good grace to admit he's wrong. He's no better than a common troll. He's full of it.

Wow...a troll calling a troll a troll.
