Ah, now - if you want to argue that we shouldn't have spent a quota spot on him I might be inclined to agree. Especially with the number of overseas players reducing year on year. Fact is that he's probably been our best prop in a large number of games since he's been here, mind.

He's a SL standard player - even if you only think he's an average one. To argue that he's NL1 standard (at best) is breathtakingly stupid.

Whilst my breath wasn't taken away I think you're right... and I don't believe that he is average. I have been impressed with him this season - it would have been good to see him continuing his improvement as his understanding and appreciation of SL grew.

Are you asking if Danny Tickle is bad news or, as this is a rumours thread, are you saying that Tickle is leaving and asking if this is good or bad news?

i'll reserve judgment until nxt season and fitgibbons impact

Cookie will be back at the KC next year.....KR are offloading him and he is in talks with FC. (Heard this yesterday from on of them 'lifelong KR followers').

Question is.......How would he be greeted if this was true. I'm sure there would be the usual 'Gonna tear my season pass up' or 'not renew' folk....That WILL RENEW 'cos thats what they've allways done

There will be the 'FC havent been the same since he 'F**ked off and left us in the mire' folk.....But would actually be ever so slightly excited at PC's return'!

Personally......It would be just another player joining us to me. We are a different team from when he left/f**ked off, so I would still support anyone in an FC shirt. I know the way he went was totally wrong, and I know he doesn't really feature in Morgans future plans (unless HE himself comes to run FC that is

), but I'll never forget the try in Cardiff as long as I live.....Two minutes to go and under the sticks.....Priceless!

Again....its just a red and white rumour!!!

I'd be sad to see us let him go unless we have someone better than him lined up. Having said that I very very much doubt your club will have him back. You aren't that desperate are you?

Wouldn't want him here....there are better players out there than PC who can contibute to the team, not to mention what he did to us when leaving. I wouldn't be happy at his return!

id take him back , as a life long fc fan i want whats best for the club and team..to say we have never recoverd since he left is an understatemnet....
maybe his "arrival" would breath new life back into yeaman and raynor, good combo with long and bero pulling the strings aswell and horne also...
dont get me wrong, his departure at the time was disaterous timing and im sure cookie would agree that it all went abit sour to say the least but as i stated that i always want whats best for fc and if that includes a certain ball-playing loose forward then so be it....
could also spell the end of radford!!

I ain't fussed about Tickle staying tbh. The squad needs freshening up for next season so i hope it's only the beginning of the exodus.

I for one would not support the club for the duration of Judas' second spell at FC, if it was to happen. However, I'm sure that the only time we will see him again at the kc, is when he is playing for his new team the Greatfield Trinity Wildcats

Were did I state he was an NL1 player,he is an average SUPER LEAGUE PLAYER,like a lot of our players,but the big difference is that we have used a valauble quata spot on him,now that's stupid.

It would be a new rumour if it wasn't a really old rumour that we had already discussed on the rumours thread.

Cusack has done exactly what he was brought in to do, he takes the ball up consistently and makes hard metres down the middle. If others around him were looking after their own responsibilities Cusack would get the appreciation he deserves. The forwards that come on, do one big hit up before going missing for 20 minutes don’t impress me, Cusack is by far the best prop at the club.

Are you telling me you'd settle for PC to come back here when he hasn't exactly set the world alight at caravan park?!!? I'm sure there are better players out there who we should be targetting!

You didn't. Derek did. Although you did say you agreed with Derek.

washbrook our ball playing loose forward should have ended radford 2 years ago playing at LF/3rd prop.

i wouldn't want cooke back. What he did to the club has put us back years and won't forgive him for that. plus as has been mentioned IF we are to sign someone from outside it shouldn't be a loose forward when we have 2 players who can play there well ie washbrook and whiting

Indeed . That gash isn't worth a second look.

name one then!!! find a player who has had or could have the influence to nearly single handedly win us the challenge cup and get us to a grand final.....lets be honest yeaman and partly raynor havent been the same since he left and thats a fact..

But wouldn't they play him at 6 with Horne at 7?

I'd heard he was going to the Giants.

This is Cusack's biggest problem. He was bought as a workhorse, a grafter. The fact is, we have too many of that type of player, but I reckon he's about the best we've got. If he was playing in a good pack with three impact props, he'd be seen as invaluable by the same people who slag him off now. His workrate would allow the impact players to be used in shorter spells and his contribution would be there for all to see.

Because he's a similar type of player to the deadwood we have (albeit a far better exponent of that style of play), he tends to get (unfairly) lumped in with them.

with long coming in??

Long at 7, horne at 6 and it should be washbrook at 13

surely we have signed one in long who has singlehandedly won saints games on numerous occaisions
