I'm not the one complaining though. FC fecked up on the registration. The RFL's rules weren't sufficiently robust at that point to disqualify us. No one would have complained if we had been disqualified. The media covered it, very fully, including Radio Humberside debating the "moral" vs "by the book" sides of the argument ad nauseam. Here, Rovers have made a mistake about Galea's passport, one which has meant your biggest ever signing has been in Australia for 6 months, and meant you have to de register your most important player who has a fortunately timed injury. Like it or not, it's a story, and one entirely of Rovers making. The media would not be doing their job if they failed to report it and the statement of "termination" made by the sport's governing body.

fook up or no fook up, the fact is mason was outstanding on the field today, he lifted the team and the crowd, hats off to the board, thats why i pay my money. mason has been here less than a week and had an impact like that. you should just do us all a favour and fook off, take your cr@p elsewhere, it was better on here when u were banned

Who did Hull de-register to make way for Obst?

Look, the point being made here is that Hudgell has done an open mic criticism of the media for their reporting of the Dobson registration issue this week, going as far as to use the phrase "wetting themselves" over it. All I'm saying is Rovers themselves created the message, so it's disingenuous to try and deflect the blame for the situation and shoot the messenger. Honestly. Nothing to do with Mason, whom I like very much.

still here

Hudge's programme notes made the most impact with me today rather then the interview

To be fair to Rule he was only saying it as he see's it.
Now the fact that White went looking for the comment and asked if FC were going to go hunting for Dobson when he knew full well they had a full Quota was mischief making of the highest order.
TBH White was also out of order when he pretty much said to Rule 'Have you discussed sacking Agar, and if not now when?'
The guy clearly has a very high opinion of himself.

They are doing more than that though take White's comment today that I have already mentioned when he was talking to Rule as another example.
That isn't the press doing their jobs that is some local hack being a 'Swear word here' .
David Burns right at the start of sportstalk on thursday night wasn't him 'just doing his job' he was being a 'Swear word here' .

There is a diffrence between them doing their job and mischief making.

Must admit, it did get me thinking about what he wrote.

Rovers for the KC????

No


The bit about the support with the signing of Willie Mason needing to match the ambition of the stakeholders.
That didnt just mean through the turnstiles it was the full spectrum.

Think Neil wrote it like a true solicitor.

Raised more questions than provided answers !

Imo, the Hull daily mail is becoming more like a comic every week, i only buy it once a week now for the property guide, as for as rugby match reports you are better off reading the Yorkshire post.

He certainly has, he's up in own ar$e!!

THE TOOL REALLY HAS A PROBLEM TO COMING TO TERMS WITH ROVERS RISE AND RISE. HANDING THE SHIRT TO PHELPS THE OTHER DAY YOU COULD SEE HE FELT SMALL.

You really think Mr Rule, who helped save our club from the brink of disaster and turned it in to one of the biggest, most profitable clubs in British RL feels small because your debt ridden little club has finally signed someone with a big reputation?

I bet James had a wry smile on his face, knowing the lengths your club was prepared to go to to get him over for this game, when he saw your attendance for yesterday.

yeah Yeah blah blah whatever

you are been sarcastic with that statement arent you?

Just read in this mornings Mirror the BBC are mabye closing local radio stations. I can think of one that causes more trouble than good in the area, and would be first on my list

Absolutely, but Gwilym and Burns have form for it, you know. You might remember some mischief making in April 2007....

How did James Rule help save our club?

Hull board.

Do you mean this isn't the Hull board?

All this time I've been thinking I'm on here trolling with a handful of other Robins.

I'm just trolling one of our trolls. I think he'll find that JR had nowt to do with "saving" our club, but was interested in the response.

Anyway, back on topic. Rovers eh?

Totally agree, and for that reason alone, I won't be throwing any toys out of the pram over the last week's media coverage. You take the rough with the smooth. Its hard to get the media interested in RL, but we have managed it this week, some coverage by design, other coverage by balls up/accident/opportunism* (delete as appropriate).

I do think Rule would have been better giving a "I won't be commenting on other clubs affairs" to MW, but given Hudge's past form that may be "pot/kettle" a wee bit.
