Ah you were referring to the drugs ban. I was referring to the recent criminal allegations against him, which proved to be unfounded.

His drugs problems didn't prevent him becoming a referee after he retired from playing by the way, just as Hock's past drugs ban didn't prevent him being picked for England.

I think you need to distinguish between players who have fallen foul of the sporting authorities for drugs (be they performance enhancing or recreational) such as Bloem and Hock and players who have fallen foul of the police and the courts for criminal offences, like Reardon and Cockayne.

It seems somehow strangely appropriate that Fred's first ever post should be on the Hull FC board.

Fred from the East becomes Fred West in an instant.

Be a lot better place as soon as our Mods ban all these HDM trolls.

Seems the total crap posted on there is coming on here now.

Thats o.k., I would have paid more attention if this wasn`t your first post.
Nowt better than an amateur troll attempting a wind up.

Be fair,the entertainment value is priceless.

I see Fred still has no knowledge of the sport he professes to follow. Nothing changes. What a tool.

Fred got 'asbeans' mixed up with 'Average Joes' it seems. Must be the old age.

What a rumour!

Our 4th game of the season will be at home to Warrington.

Banning offence is that

Are you saying it's right then?

Even if it is or isnt, Koshs bum cheeks will be nipping at the mention of it , he has Bosses to report to

Can we post the original tweet? I've heard something about who our Good Friday opponents will be but will send you a PM.

Was funny year before last when i ed the RFL and Rule off by accidentally tweeting the full fixtures

Is it not kr on good friday then ?

Can't say...apparently

Boooooo

Fixtures can be speculated on, the odd one posted. Can't go any further than that though. Ta.

The odd one posted.

Come on Mrs B - Good Friday??

Give us your best guess.

bradford at home

saints entertain leeds and rovers travel to wigan

It's not a rumour, and not our player, but if we'd got wind of Eden being available I wouldn't have minded him over McDonnell. Think it's a strange one Hudds letting him go, hope I'll be proved wrong.

Never understood why the fixture lists are such a closely gaurded secret. Its hardly sensitive information.

Only game I want to really know about is the away game at Catalans, to see if it fits with work commitments.

Im happy with Mcdonnell to be honest better than people give him credit for

Eden has far too many errors in him, I know it was his first year of SL but catching a ball is pretty fundamental, and an important part of a full backs role.
Also, I'm pretty sure that Rovers didn't enquire on the off-chance, he'll have been told he can find another club and I'm pretty sure his agent would have touted him around.

Not quite sure what's going on at Hudds, tbh. Really looks like Anderson will have a job on his hands.
