What a complete t****r, hasnt he got anything better to do then rip into hull. www.dailystar.co.uk/rugby/view/2 ... -for-Hull/

There is so much S@ite in that article I don't know were to start.

What has he said that is wrong there?

Loads, we have no youth, when this season we have brought through a whole host of players.

No decent overseas players since Jason Smith? Swain, Best, Barnett, Kearney etc.

Seymour is a poor player.

Trying to make out that Ellis is average and injury prone.

The salary Ellis is on, (neither me or him know if this true)

That it will upset the players.

He's a knob

He should of waited until after last nights result to write that article because now he's made himself look a bigger tit then he already is.

Surely us signing ellis is similar to saints signing manu both around the same age and coming towards the end of their careers so why slag us of for signing ellis, maybe he's just bitter he didnt choose leeds.

Ellis is aging
Seymour is steady not spectacular
We have signed a Wigan kid to play fullback, Are there not any at our club?
Wasn't Smith signed after all those players?

It isn't as rosy at Hull as we might like to think.

It's in the Star, what do you expect?

Every-one is ageing, however he is still possibly the best 2nd rower in the world

Seymour was better than steady last night, he was very good

Our f/back feck off home in the middle of the season

We all acknowledge our youth is not in a good scene after Kath fecked us over for years in that dept

Things are rosier at our club than they have been for many many years, as we are building and have a chairman who is prepared to spend money in the right areas, Coach, players etc.

Things are much better on and off he field, scofield is just talking rubbish.

Ellis is ageing, correct. Just as every bloody player in the world is ageing, it's a natural process. In case you haven't noticed, very year people age exactly one year



I'll take that, especially in comparison to what we've had in the last five or so years




Yes, 2nd choice (probably 1st choice next season), is injured, 3rd choice was playing at stand off. Or would you rather we just slung a load of 18 year-olds in?




If you think that, you haven't been watching Hull for very long




It's a damn sight rosier than it has been for the last 5 or so years.

His opinion's change depending on who's buying his ale.

As I pointed out last night, our first choice fullback has left the club, our second choice is injured and our third choice was playing stand off/"extra second row". Do you, Schofield and Clarke expect us to have an unlimited stock of full backs?

He's a =#FF0000[Edited - Kosh who thinks he should be coaching at wigan. Who cares what the thinks? He's right about us losing manu and turner though

Certainly manu, you could see how much we will miss him last night.

Turner is easily replaceable IMO.

I wouldn't read the Daily Star never mind anything Garry Schofield says. He's a bitter 'has been' who thinks the world owes him something by default.

We already have a ready made replacement for Turner who played last night.As for schofield, he had a right go about McKinnon leaving on his Twitter, which was uncalled for.The bloke just talks rubbish to get a reaction.

The "I don`t believe it!!!" thread on Wakeys forum makes far better reading.

Seriously, he's not worth bothering about, waste of space really and a "pundit" who is not highly regarded, and a failed coach at every level. That why he's writing for a fun rag like the Star. He really does not know what's going on at our club and this article really proves that.
Another writer could argue perfectly factually that :
- Our youth policy is now blossoming faster than any at the club thought possible after years of neglect.....
- Swain and Kearney were instrumental in our last major trophy win which came shortly after the departure of talisman Jason Smith....
- Seymour really ran the show for Hull Fc against the "World Champions" and is getting better and more influential with every game he plays.....
- Gareth Ellis has played the best Rugby of his career over the last 2 season and one should look at the video montage to see that his game breaking abilities are a match for his well known workhorse qualities.....
-Wests Tigers fans have been singing the praises of Ellis fitness levels and his almost ever presence in the Tigers line up over 3 seasons, and say his recent loss due to freak injury is instrumental in the mediocre start made by last years Grand finalists.....

- Mr Pearson stated that Ellis has now signed for FC, noting, "we were not the highest bidders for his signature" . To date the fee for the man regarded by many "down under" as the best back rower in the world has not been disclosed....

- When true world class players arrive at a club, usually on a high wage, one would expect them to be a catalyst for success, bringing standards of performance that others aspire too. The thought that any world class player would bring disharmony to a dressing room is right out of left field. Just ask Jamie Lyon, Peter Sterling, Brett Kenny, Danny Buderus, Trent Barrett et al, ....

GS could have written all of the above, but he didn't, either he's not actually in the know, or he's not very bright, or he has a different agenda. Or maybe all 3.

Just had a look at that. It's like a ride in a time machine.

So much bluster based purely on fiction and speculation. Totally worthless article.

Schofield?

"Ellis is a workhorse not a gamebreaker"

I think people presume everything Ellis does is off the back of Benji, but his running, sidestep, and passing ability are all off the scale, especially for a forward. Even if he is unlucky with injuries I have no doubt he'll step up when it matters and he's on the pitch

Haven't Leeds signed Lunt on loan? Why don't they play McShane or Hood there! Schofield is a pr1ck - think I might link him to this thread on twitter
