It is the illegality/unenforceability of that approach that makes fed-trained etc necessary. Although we don't seem to be bothering with it anymore, for reasons that remain unclear.

Without trying to get involved or make it stupid, why is it illegal to do it that way?

RFL seem to make there rules up as they go anyway so why cant they turn around and say 7 players from 2013 can be of non UK, everyone else with a squad number has to be UK born

Cause mr Kolpack and mr Bosman got the european court to agree with them that it is.

Cant Mr Fed Trained argue this point?

i never thought one topic would cause so much mud slinging from fc fans. im glad im not nowhere near as obsessed about hull fc. anyhow welcome to east hull willy hope your stay will be adventurous one.

blimey i am glad we did not have the Internet in the 1980 is they would not have been any room on this site when you think it was hull and rovers that more or less started it all with over seas players lots of them

Read the thread on the VR, [uit is clearly not an FC & KR spat,[/u it is an issue, the RL are a joke and the issue would be brought up if it was Wigan, Warrington, Huddersfield etc

Although I am very pleased with Mason coming to us I do also think the rl are a joke a times like wen they ban someone for a bad tackle then it goes to appeal and gets up turned no consistency in a lot of things they do

Typo

Being serious for a second, it is a game wide issue and not one that I personally agree with.

What is amusing in the extreme is you lot preaching very extensively and very loudly to anyone who'll listen as to how terrible Rovers are as regards the perceived good of the game.

It's for clarity, you understand.

Oh indeed, always best to be clear about the issues of the day I find...

still nowt official from the club as of yet, wonder when the next press confrence is!!

Hull White star I was meaning mainly ur big guns like Leeds, Wigan, etc especially before a big game the big threat to lose a good player could be crucial, yet it doesn't matter what they did. Radford got sent of which ultimately cost you the game, were as if that had ave Been Bailey then no action would have been taken full stop.

Are we ?,great ! can you come around to mine lads,I need a new outhouse.

I must be the 5% then Al. As I said somewhere earlier,any good player in any team is what we pay our money to watch.
Got over the Crocker disappointment now,time to move on.

salford??? (10 foreigners), wakefield???? (9 with another one to come), this may indeed be an RL problem as you say, but I don't see Hull fans all over their message boards like a rash, I wonder why

There isn't a press conference is there who bloody knows if and when he is coming, he as said in the past he is then he doesnt, does your head in all this.

Its a case of Willie or Won`t `e.

Why can't you (and a few others) understand that it's the way this has set us back as a sport. They have dispensation for theirs regarding time of arrival etc, as do you, as do we. It's the fact that now all you have to do is get a passport from basically anywhere but Oz and NZ and you're fed trained. Surely you can see the damage this could potentially do?

Abit like Manu having done more community service than Mason as well

Well according to James Smailes on radio humberside he is defo coming and explained why things have been delayed Big Willie has been ready to come across since before Christmas. According to Hull Daily Mail website rovers are to make an announcement on Fri, if this happens who knows.

listen very carefully berrigan I say this only once hull kr have through out this. Process consulted. The rfl about this. The rfl have stated hull kr have done nothing wrong. If you feel injustice has been done then stop whinging and Contact alan johnson, the home office , and the rfl and get these loopholes closed. Take action but please Stop. Whinging and do something about , im not getting personal Towards u and wish you well

If I'm being really honest, I'm still a bit drunk from Christmas and the New Year as well.

Why don't you stand for election "Hull east(fc fan of course)against south sea islanders formerly ozzy formerly south sea islanders coming in through loopholes to HKR" .I will knock you up a sandwich board to walk up and down olderness rerd wiv
