I reckon Clint will know exactly what happend and exactly what Crocker thinks about it. Maybe Crocker is getting his frustration out via Clint... ?

Yeah, because in the end, Hull FC are the immigration office and would of made it faster for him to be denied a visa anyway.

And people moan that too many Hull fans come on here....Probably because you talk about us more than our forum

Must resist........

Oh go on, I was teeing you up there GG!

Here's the thing. The statement was made by Clint Newton, who plays for Hull KR. Sorry if discussing a statement by one of our players offends you.

Even your players are obseesed with us





Not offended in the slightest, just find it funny.

I know. Difficult to explain. Could be that they associate your club with good experiences.

sock lover has a new user name does he

Not much to report today, I know, lets go and speak to someone who has no idea on how the Immigration process works but knows someone who was shafted by it to comment on things they know nothing about just to stir up some debate and get the mugs buying the paper. Look out next week for the fascinating insight into crop rotation in the 14th century with Tom Briscoe.

But it would be believable if they were interviewing Stanley wouldn't it not?

Doesn't take much to excite some, as Hutchie has hit on, a dirty sock is enough for some

He'd already left the fields and started his RL career by then

He must have some early sketches of what was going on but I dont think he was involved. Mind you, the HDM will be sure to run a story on it if they think it will get people bickering



I wish they would scrap that hideous 'rant at cum face' or whatever it is called. It takes up space that could be used for something interesting, rather than just give that prick somewhere to put his picture!!

I was actually referring to the '14th century' and not the crops!!

I realised the connection after i posted it.


^That actually is probably what the HDM reporter says after yet another story is published pointlessly.

Just spat a mouth full of coffee all over me screen

There is probably no one, apart from Crockers family, who knows all the going on's etc in the proposed transfer of Crocker more than his best man and ex team mate Clint Newton, so far that objective its hardly a surprise that our local rag turns to him for comment.

Maybe they considered taking views of some of the know alls, pretend know alls and know fook alls on here and decided Clint was the best bet.

Journalists eh

No that would make to much sense surely!

i was talking about Clint Newton

James Rule on KCFM said Clint Newton = Mischief-Maker

Ya little tinker.

Mick Robinson's dummy just flew past my window

Would that be Mick 'I'm sorry lads but I listened to burnsy on the other side for once tonight' Robinson.

He rings Sportstalk more than anyone.

Good old Burnsy came out with another belter tonight
