Dannatt was the "big I am" in Hawk in Brough, until he got put on his backside a number of times, he wasn't tough, he was a bully, they are very different things.

Think Walker worked at Barrow BAE before he came to hull. Dannatt was our labourer whilst he was doing his plumbing & gas apprenticeship after he chucked the pub game. was a bit funny telling him what to do when he had been an idol of mine.

Can't be bothered to read the previous 13 pages.

It's November 8th, park this under 'Interesting' and wait until he actually pulls on a black and white shirt in a competitive game.

Welcome to the mighty Hull FC young man.

He obviously hasn't been given the AP philosophy,for a start he is under 30 and secondly he isnt local,or has AP's philosophy changed in the last week.??

McShane asked for a release last week mate, it isn't like Leeds at all.

Leeds signing Aiton, Wigan signing Clubb, yet it's the Hull fans signing an 25yr old ex-NRL player who scored every other game who are moaning.

Was there the night 5 blokes pasted him in the Hawk (Xmas Eve IIRC). Was a mugging if nothing else. When a Dannett was laid on the ground unconscious, it takes a big man to continue kicking him in the face!

Hope he does well , With Biggs coming in also , Looks like it's bye bye Crookes .

Crookes still has 2 years on his deal to run and if Biggs isn't here till May I can't see us releasing him till the end of the year.

I think he'll still go , Biggs has been in & out of the Bath side so I think he'll be here before May .

The problem is if Crookes plays 1 game his salary and pay off (from a 2 year deal) will count on the cap. It would be pointless releasing him as it wouldn't free up cap space.

Yet another poor signing to add to the very long list.

But I'm sure the spin doctor AP will weave his magic when talking about the player.

How do you know it's a poor signing?

And I'm sure everyone will make their own opinions when they see them play...

As has been said, Wigan have raided player from the worst team in SL. You've got to sign these players from somewhere but as long as they have the desire they can be anything.. Sam Moa for example!!

I'd rather have 3 players on £60k (Feka, Talanoa and Rankin), with a bit of mystery around their ability but the effort and desire to win.. Than 1 on £180k (Holdsworth), coming as a superstar and saviour but just taking the money and not putting in the hard work or not actually having the ability to go with it..

There is not really anyone better, or bigger named, than Holdsworth available so I'd rather go with nobodies and give them a shot!!

Because he has listened to our resident Aussie expert.

Well I don't know a thing about him, all I have to go on is his highlights package and Sheldon. Since I don't tend to agree with everything Sheldon says and that everyone in the NRL seems to be terrible according to him I will go off the highlights.

He looks a strong powerful runner and a good finisher. I will file him alongside Biggs and Feka as could be great or could be terrible.

Where have I said that?

You should know by now its what they do on here.

I'm generalising a bit, but every time we are linked with an Aussie you tend to come on and say they aren't very good.

He doesn't. He's just heard it from another sheep.

Wish I had a Sydney postcode, then I could be a visionary.

If there not very good I do, If we sign a good one I say he's good.

Heremaia, O'Meley etc.

You should know better than to even bother with the Radford cheerleaders, they get free beer at Lennys

In any kind of weather.

Like you just keep bob bob bobbing along, get spotted at Christmas scratching around for worms. Just about sums you up I suppose
