Thats right, I drove home like nutter in my little metro with two mates clinging on for dear life because I wanted to watch it again. Think that and a wakefield win was the highlight of that season with getting beat by Workington at home a real low point.

I'd be more interested in how much cap space we have. According to Adam Pearson in the Daily Wail interview with Hudgell, with Biggs Wage and Hornes exemption, we're actually over the cap

So is he signing ?

If rumours are true Shannon Mcd's wage will sort that out with money to spend?!

Me too, what a great end to a game that was. We had those blue shirts with checked sleeves IIRC and gave Danny Divet some right stick when Fev were behind the posts for the conversions. I loved Paul Sterling too.

Didn't we score three tries in the last 10 mins to nick the win , And Sterling's effort was a great individual try .

I remember Hewit dropping a goal but didn't fev then score then we score the winner. Nearly 20yrs ago so we can be forgiven if its not right.

Blimey, our website is good [urlhttp://www.hullfc.com/first-team/match/149329/featherstone-rovers-29-26[/url

I saw him play a few games for Wyong this year and wasn't very impressed.
He seems like a bonehead type player who does a lot of stupid offloads and drops the ball at the worst times.
Having said that, he has obviously trained really hard over the last 6 weeks or so as part of the Fiji squad and he looks a much better player for it. His workrate was very good in the WC.
He has probably never done a pre season with a firstgrade squad and he is as fit as he has ever been I'd say, so you might have a bargain buy. He would sign for peanuts. If he had money he'd probably pay you to let him play.

Just like Jack & Sam Latus father payed his contract at KR.

I wonder if you'd have provided a different appraisal had he been linked with your chums in red and white?

and you know this how?

He payed for Sam to stay at craven park for a full season as he was getting his contract terminated...surplus to requirements I was told by a current KR player & a sponsor.

I knew of this too, came from a very close friend of Justin Morgan.

Think there father is well off too, was the Latus lads educated at hymers?

didn't have to be well off to go to Hymers, a common misconception

Well if you are not on a scholarship it is £3000 a term. So that's 24k a year to educate his lads so he sounds coined up to me.

I believe so yes.

Yes Sam and jack both went to Hymers who were both picked on the scholarship link between rovers and Hymers that has been going for a good number of years now.
Sam was the 1st team captain and played fly half and jack played wing.


Hymers has 3 terms per year so my maths makes that £18000 not £24k.

Sorry thought it was over 4 terms same as most schools.

Think one of the Latus lads are running sprint coaching at YPI now heard it is really good.

I think it's both of them who do the training at YPI. I don't think it's just sprint training, I believe it's also powerlifting such as clean & jerks etc. Fwiw I've heard it's very good and know a number of people who train there.

You might want to rethink that one

I don't think anyone is under the illusion we're signing an established superstar but like you I was quite impressed with him during the WC and I think he could do a job especially if its for the right money.

If I were going for a prop/lock from the NSW cup I'd go for Samoan Mark Taufua.
Mark was one of the best forward in the winning NSW cup side Cronulla and played a few games of firstgrade in the very strong Cronulla pack last year. He is a bit older, but he hasn't had many injuries and played park Union in Newcastle till his mid 20s, so hasn't got many miles on the clock for a 29 year old or so.
He has about 100 NRL games I think and no contract for next year. Eloni was an average player for the team that came last in the NSW cup - Mark was outstanding for the team that came first.
