just because no one does it, doesnt mean it was a bad idea




No one ever played a pivotal full back till a few years ago

Shoite decision, shoite coach, shoite club.

next

Spot on, the 2/3 remaining signings will decide on how competitive we can hope to be, get them right and we could be looking like a good side, providing Agar gets the tactics right.

I think who we release is more defining than who we bring in. No point shouting about revamping the squad then re-signing the donkeys and not paying off the others when the money is there to do it

To be honest I was a bit miffed with Cusack signing another deal... having thought about it if (and its a big if) we can get someone of the caliber of Kite, offer Thacks another deal (Im going from what I see on the field here) and keep Maloney on Id be happy with the pack. Rid of Kingy and Moa (bit harsh on Moa may be, dont think he's been given a proper chance as yet).

Hes a good workhorse and gets through a lot of time on the pitch but he cant break a tackle, cant offload. For the wage he will command and he takes up a quota place we should be looking at better props than Cusack.

We have far to many "Grafters" in the team like Radford, Dowes, Cusack, Tickle and Whiting. Dont get me wrong they all work hard and put 100% in but they need to offer more with Ball in hand IMO

I agree with everthing you have just said,i think the pack can match anybody in SL.It's the play maker's that arn't doing the job.

cusack, he reminds me of that game from yonks ago, donkey kong

Totally agree with you we have enough workhorses in our team, we need to be adding people who can do something with ball in hand a waste of a quota spot for me.

From what ive seen most of them are lazy basstardss

Yes they have been for a while now thats why we need a complete overall of the club from the coaches to the players there is to many to mention who need to leave our club but it has to happen and soon imo.

Agree with the 2nd and 3rd part but in two minds on the 1st. IMO Luaki is an unknown quantity and im hoping he'll be fantastic but reckon he'll be another Manu which means he'll be awesome 10% of the time, completely average 50% of the time and injured the rest. The next forward we sign will be massively important and we now have to release Dowes and Radford or it'll be just the same as this year.

Has someone hacked your account?

Go back and look at my posts and you'll see that i feel like everyone else only i dont sit on the fence for ages as i can see whats going on early doors (Sharp, Radford, The Club, Berrigan etc etc).

Like that bird on the apprentice i have a hidden talent

Just wondering why you're suddenly making sense. And I was a founder member of the sharp out club, which then became the agar out club (actually that one was founded before he was appointed)

I cant see why its been done.He's a good pro and was possibly instrument in getting his mate across.I remember watching that channel 4 docu on Souths and Russel Crowe and it showed Cus in a very good light.

“I’ve also had some big raps about the place from Yak (Peter Cusack) who is a close family friend of mine and our wives are also big friends.[/url

Not read the thread as time is limited on these computers and I can guess what the content will be. But anyway, I'm very pleased about him re-signing for one more year. For me he is by far our most consistant prop and also the best prop we have. The problem is that our forwards have too many players of his type. But I would rather have him on board for another year and for us to try and offload a couple of other players who are similar

Sorry Paul, not been on since Friday. That team looks a lot better than our current shower but I would want to add at least one big line busting forward to it and I don't know about Tansey as first choice FB either. Surely his utility is his strength ??

Any Hull side that doesn't have "radders" in it, has to be a huge improvement though !!!

No, but most workhorse props on either side of the planet would look like impact props in our side!

Apologies if similar has been posted, but i've not been on here for a bit and I.N.R.A.T.S.

The question has to be why? Cusack is a plodding workhorse who can't bust a tackle. It smacks of one last payday, nothing more.

Someone on SportsTalk said during the week that FC should look around the National League for a younger British prop who would do a similar job, albeit with more enthusiasm and less wages. That kid at Keighley (his name escapes me) looked good in the TV game the other Thursday, although knowing my knowledge of the lower level, he's probably Australian as well!

Of course, if it's Agar's policy to keep stocked up on plodding forwards, then the signing of Sean Long will ultimately prove futile.

I guess you don't see the good things that Yak does then? He's the only one in the whole team who'll give you a quick PTB and is solid in defence. He is also quite hard the take down as it usually takes a couple of guys to put him to the ground.

Well, of course, i don't see as many games as you. But if you are happy to see an ageing Aussie taking a significant chunk of salary cap for a fairly minimal return then fine. I can't question your judgement, you're an FC fan, i'm not. But be honest, is this the sort of thing you expect of a grade A licence club?

Grade A off the field
Grade F on the field.

We've improved then?
