How would a Tongan passport help? Masons overseas trained, unless their challenging the rule?

Well it's in the media so it must be true

Seems an odd quote to attribute to Mason if its not true doesnt it?

Now unless the quote is completely made up, then it seems Hull Kingston Australia are making a deliberate attempt to circumvent the rules so they can avoid giving an opportunity to a young british player. A very classy act

Aww do you have to call us that.
Its upsetting all of us seriously

hope its Monaghan



Seriously the RFL need to get their ar5e5 into gear and take the fudging opportunities away from clubs. How hard is it to say a min 20 English trained players in 1st team squad or you can happily drop down a division?

Wouldn't be so bad if he'd had the imagination to come up with it himself rather than plagiarising Gutterfax.

Can You explain the word between than and gutterfax please

It would Apia that Mason is having a little joke.

[size=50Okay, Apia is in Samoa not Tonga, but you try making a a pun out of Nuku'alofa.[/size

Plagiarism is "the wrongful appropriation, close imitation, or purloining and publication, of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions, and the representation of them as one's own original work."

'Copying', for simplicity.

its upsetting your all seriously? interesting.........

Is that it upsetting you in a serious manner, it is seriously upsetting you, or that you are being serious about it upsetting you?

You really should be more clear. A short phrase, clearly expressing your meaning would be helpful.

Gutterfax can help you. He is good at that kind of thing

Excuse me Smokey. I'm struggling with one of your short phrases. Could you please clearly express it's meaning?

"its upsetting your all seriously? interesting........."

I think he meant "he nicked it"


It was never meant to offend anyone (except roofs...on principle).......I didn't expect the spanish inquisition.......then again, nobody expects.......


If Big Tongan Willie does get his home-town passport, we may have to change it to Hull Kingston Pacifika

Bump!


So, HKA have 10 overseas players lined up for 2011.....and we are told it takes time for them to develop their own youngsters......strange that they had not one player in the England academy squad......must take a lot of time to get players up to scratch...something London got no credit or time for over the years that SL has been in existance.
Now young cockneys are scoring 4 tries in an international tournament and getting picked for the England academy we are told "it's about time"......so it is fair to ask....when Exactly will Hull Kingston Australians get their overseas contingent down to the permitted 5 players and when will their local kids get a chance to shine?

Whats Leeds excuse for only having one ?

, or any of the others that didn't have any ?

OK....maybe I should have just left it at BUMP

The real question is "was it a double movement?"

You're right; london got no credit for taking a lot of time to get players up to scratch.

15 years to get a 9yr old from Gravesend who had never played a game of RL to a 4 try scoring England International....shame on us


Compare it with clubs like our antip friends from East Hull with 125yrs.......London should hang its head in shame with that comparison

If you are going to use their full history it would only be fair to include all their International players in that time

So by my reckoning Fulham/Broncos/Quins in 30 years have produced 1

I'm fairly sure HKR will be well into double figures in their 125

So , not a good argument , What is interesting as I pointed out is only 1 player from Leeds in the England squad , only 1 from Saints as well

SORRY,,,,DISAGREE.
Point is that HKR may well have had loads of internationals in their ranks over the years....just a shame that the internationals they have now are all Southern Hemisphere internationals


Also, they are a hewartland club, we are a development area.....shame neither of us will be around in another 95 years to compare international caps per club, but as for this century, we are ahead

we are only 4 years into our superleague history though with all the money that entails to spend on development, not an easy thing to do in the championship with no sky handout as any fan in the championship will tell you, how many internationals do you think london would produce if the only team down there were the skolars?

oh and we do have 8 acadamy products in the first team squad as well as our millions of foreigners, a figure that will grow year on year from now

John Wilkin

LMS and Clubb...we don't mention Chris Melling because even though capped while playing for us, he ain't cockney...he was a pie.

Point is Rovers are a real club who have a strong fanbase and actually contribute to the success of SL. We've achieved our success the honest, decent way through hard work. Fulcrubronquins on the other hand are not a real club, are still very unsuccessful and are still surviving off those RFL hand-outs.





Oh, and you didn't deserve an SL spot in the first place, you robbed the Cougars of their hopes, dreams and huge potential you barstewards.

I was talking about proper Internationals , not one match wonders against low key opposition



But admit it , you had forgotten about Wilkin , hadn't you
