I'd heard it was Marquis Charles and Shane Endacott

Radders said we wasn't opting for the marquee signing so be surprised if it's either of these two pal.

Anyone remember the game at Brammall lane against Sheffield when he went on a amazing 90 yrs run only to lose the ball when crossing the line.pretty much summed up his f.c career

I was there, although I reckon Knockers was either p.laying, coaching or on his to the Nobel peace prize

Marquis Charles at the boulevard got the ball on his own 25 ran at least 30 meters and got tackled behind his own line!

Kevin Penny's inspiration

marquis was great. I remember that one and the incident wilf mentioned plus I seem to remember him catching the ball in his own 20, running back behind his own line and then going the full length to score. Or maybe I imagined it

His mum used to stand behind the stick yelling at him

Remember Wilf's pretty well.
The Bramall Lane mazy run, and dropped ball over the line, was also another great memory!

marquis was like a rich man's kieron dixon

Remember him catching ball infront of threepenny and just standing there for what seemed like a eternity then running side wards and getting smashed. Came out after the game he was suffering with a ear infection and it had seriously effected his balance and he had done well just to play.( wilf might know better than me) Don't know how long he had that ear infection but that was still one of his better games

Again, have a read of what I have actually said not what you imagine I've said!
It's written in plain bloody English and more than once, suggest you get an adult to explain it to you!

You suggested to bin off Pritchard who you say is on 400k, which is not what he's on, Radders/motu are after an outside back far better then Micheals, we can't keep players because they've done ok, if better is available, otherwise yeamo would have signed as he's had his best year since 2005, no room for sentiment when you need to improve the team & kick on.

thought we was after a 6 as well

He is but bumpy is saying to bin off a forward when he only needs to swap the back for the incoming back, why would we bin off a back rower & leave us short in another department to bring in the back, we know he's getting a 6.

Funny but you kept telling us that Tuimavave was our six for next season when several of us on said we needed an established six. Tuimavave in my opinion was much better as a centre. Whats changed? Do you know?
Genuine question because if we sign a first choice 6 where does that leave Carlos?

The club said he was to be the 6 for next year, what's funny about it? If the pivot doesn't come off, CT will be the 6 next year.

I will only add one thing £400,000 for Pritchard is so far off the mark its unbelievable! He wishes!

Exactly Pete it's bumpy making out he knows what goes on at FC, when I've said before he knows nothing.

Quote ="easthull fc fan"Exactly Pete it's bumpy making out he knows what goes on at FC, when I've said before he knows nothing.'" I had a chat with Bumpy about this a few weeks ago: viewtopic.php?f=34&p=18439351 I say 'chat', but it was more Bumpy making up that Pritchard was on a backloaded contract, I explained why that wouldn't be the case, and he didn't reply. Bumpy has £400k in his head because he was on a reported $650k at the Bulldogs running into 2016, $300k of which they paid this year, so it's an assumption I made that FC paid the remaining £200k ish for 2016 season (, hence him being added as our Marquee player. If we were paying less than £175k in 2016 there'd be no point in doing that. 2017 onwards, I doubt it'd be anywhere near £400k, he's making stuff up again as facts. Frank does seem to be his figure of hate now though. He called him a 'plodder' on the VT

the actual amount is irrelevant to the argument, that you choose to bring it up shows you don't understand the point despite it being obvious.
Pritchard is on a shed load whatever the amount and it's a shed load more than Michaels is getting who has shown/given more on field than Pritchard this season.
But if those wishing to sack Michaels off despite the contract agreement he has said in person he's getting, get their wish we will be a poorer side for it and it would be a despicable way to treat him, which clearly some are happy with given their comments upthread. If by going back on his contract agreement we get a player then I hope you are satisfied with them and their role in the team.
I don't think we will sign anyone of note unless we get rid of a name as I've said, I hope CT or Connor or whomever we go with at 6 comes good because next season is going to be tougher than this.

You write that sort of thing a lot to other posters, don't you? Perhaps you need to make your point a little more coherently and not throw things about (E.g. the £400k) like they're facts. Not sure how many times people have pointed this out to you and it's a reason you get the replies you do.



That's subjective though isn't it.

And is it really appropriate to compare a forward to a back?

Plus, this is a comparison & choice that you've effectively made up yourself because you don't like Pritchard. This toss up of Michaels vs Pritchard is not a choice for the club in reality. This isn't Champ Manager. One is off contract, the other is contracted.



What agreement?

Last I saw Michaels had said he and the club were in talks. You have no idea if any promises have been made by the club to Michaels, do you?



Agreed.


Out of interest, have you compared Pritchard's stats to the other back rowers at the club? Worth a look if not. Not bad for a 'plodder'.

His reply if you get one will be a dig at you or others not understanding him, I reckon a top shrink wouldn't understand talk 5H1T3 tony.

Best to compare with the whole league tbf
Right up for metres -top5 and beaten by only curie metres per carry

I kind of see where Bumpy is coming from but would release Pritchard and use his quota and wage on a 6 and as good as Micheals as been,id have kept Lancaster and really worked on him...we can cover pritchards spot with Abdul or Washy at 13 and a choice of Manu,Ellis and Mini with Thompson,Hadley,Turgut,Fash,Downes to come in as well.Im not a lover of stats I just go on what I saw and he didn't impress me a lot if I'm being honest
