Is that what you say to your wife?

Moore's a bit cheesed off his appointement isn't in place as his number one target has signed for another club.

Cuthbertson?

Well here you have it; the word "should" (which you've engineered) has a completely different connotation of context to the words "could" and then "would".

So thanks for confirming my original point for me that you engineer quotes out of their intended context...

Next.

Good one.

It was just that initial post until I get into the "owning Mrs Barista mode" but I'm there now so it's fine...

It would be a laugh but I don't have the time or energy to amass and manage a vast quantity of quotes on her and every poster on the FC board cos I have a life.

Oh go on then...

Mrs Barista said Hull FC have a "robust business model" - it's not what the tax man thinks...

Look, Hudgell has said the money's there for the new coach to spend and you clearly rate Moore, ergo the astute signings are a given. Whether it's coulda/woulda/shoulda, you're the one making the connections to top 2, not me. Good times.







Would you prefer Moore or Wrigley. Doesn't sound like the HDM have the exclusive tomorrow anyway; their KR story is Taulapapa's 2nd crack at the big time.

Ah I know what you mean, like I have "connections" to the Sultan of Bruni because we both like Chicken Tikka Massala.


The board have gone through a thorough process so I trust they'll get it right whoever it is.

I'll look forward to the Taulapapa exclusive.

Have you ever thought about getting a life?.............no?...........thought not

You're being a bit silly now. You said that the current squad + some astute signings could win more games which would mean challenging for Top 2. I'd say that's the definition of making "connections".

In terms of the (off-topic) "robust" business model at FC, I don't think it's fair to mock 6 years of profitability which was based taxation arrangements that, up to April 2011 were within the law and widely adopted across many clubs and sports, but have now been ruled retrospectively as attracting a tax liability. I'm sure your confidence that it's nothing to worry about from Rovers perspective is well-founded. Believe me, I'm grateful for Pearson's acquisition of FC and swift steps to resolve the tax issue. Otherwise it would have been a reasonable expectation that FC would have gone to the wall.

hull fc go to the wall, never. just merge with somebody, pretend nothing happened and call yourself hull fc est. 1865

If Sandercock is appointed are you going to admit you made that up

What bit?

Ask your mate who was at the top of Moore's wanted list if he got the job.

So Moore was cheesed off- your words because he couldn't sign a player for a job he wasn't offered

Should we not be asking who was at the top of Rovers list for a coach?

Go on then, who was it?

And that could have been Billy Slater but doesnt mean we could afford his wanted list.

So a coach who has not got the job would have appointed someone contoversial as his assistant if indeed he had got the job which he hasn't got.

Thanks for that. Any more 'shocks' to reveal? Can't say I'm reeling.

Tbf if Jarrad Hickey was at the top of a coaches wanted list I wouldn't have offered him the job either.

If he is talking to a player he used to coach that he can't name right now, it would be a Manly player.
Nothing stopping him talking about any off contract Knights.

He's only been at the Knights 2 years - he was at Manly 8 years and coached a good part of the guys in the grandfinal squad.

Can I just say that I've found roopy's posts very interesting and insightful.

Best thing about RLFans is the way that fans of other clubs are readily available with their opinions.

Cheers roopy.

Aye - we're working on a virtual fence to stop him escaping.

Hope he isn't expecting us to repay him with interesting insights of our own.

Sounds like that could be Cuthbertson

I think the club should look at offering a position to roopy. He clearly knows what he's on about unlike the rest of us.

Roops, what are you like at construction?
