More like could you not think of anything that would be an adequate reply. I was making reference the competition getting better as a whole, I still agree the international team is poor. If the competition is so poor, maybe a team like yours would have finished higher up but you didn't. What sort of excuse is that for where you finished?

i bet he regrets hot being involved in the tussle for 12th place this season!

Like i said in my post earlier, weve got/had some very average/poor personnel on our roster.

The quality aint what it used to be and that wasnt overly great over here.

IMO the competition is bordering on the mediocre, even the play off games were boring with very little intensity.

ok??

Bo!!ocks, if these youngsters are good enough, they'll make it. They should be learning things from these aussies and getting better.
Each squad has had about 25 players, at least 15 of which qualify for England multiply that by 12(which until this season was the norm), that's 150 players, ample enough "talent".

Disagree , if you bring over an expensive import you are more likely to play that person even if injured . Houghton would get more of a chance at Hull if Berrigan wasn't in the squad and would develop a lot quicker .Let's face it Berrigan has not exactly pulled any trees up as he.

Is this the Houghton that played 24 SL games this season and 23 last season? For someone that turned 21 last week, I'd say that's not too shabby in terms of giving a young player opportunities.

If you count the 20 minutes each half he disappears maybe so!

Not a bitter comment either he did it when he played for us, just had better players around him at the time to pick up the pieces when he went into hiding.

played loose forward at hull and i believe its his best position, and there will be a number of super league teams after him if rovers do release him at the end of his contract,which i dont think will happen who knows

Far too lazy and Tackle-Shy for LF.

like i said played there for hull

Sometimes. Far too lazy and Tackle-Shy for LF.

He may have been named as LF on the squad sheet, but he always played as a Scrum Half for us. Don't think he has the engine or workrate required of an LF in today's game TBH.

i haven't seen cheeky charlie for a bit and now freddy kruger turns up.

a coincedence?

no dont know cheeky charlie, know hes a wined up merchant ,played the game at pro level and watch alot of games,and thats my opinion

He's gone.

but you dont know if he was named at 13 for hull he didn't really play as a 13?

Easy mistake to make, he probably also thinks that just because it says DAZ on the side of a bus, they'll take washing in.

well it would appear hes back in freddy!

Freddy is not cheekie charlie.

i will take your word for it kosh.

who is he then?

So Cheeky Charlie was Cooke?

Either way, bye bye to Cheeky Charlie. The guy is a turd who winds up most serious HKR posters on this forum, so god knows how everyone else views him.

Hopefully the dumbwit has crawled back under his rock for good.

Amen Brother.

But more importantly, where is Cabman?

Hurrah!

Special Gold Star Order of Merit to whoever did that sterling piece of work.

It was a joint Rovers/FC modding operation. one group softened him up and the other applied the coup de grace.
