Really?

I suggest you go back and read the previous page, some corkers on there.

in answer to your question and i stand to be corrected but wasnt it harvey howard? our last british coach

The RFL granted dispensation for Aaron Heremaia to be given Federation Trained Status due to the time he spent at Leigh prior to the February 2008 rule change.
I assume Micheal Dobson will be eligible for the same dispensation due to the time he spent at Wigan in 2006

Sorry ginge, but that's plain nonsense. Agar was given plenty of time and support by the vast majority of FC fans - indeed there were still some sad to see him go at the end. There were hardly any chants/banners at all and only in the last season at one or two matches.

Don't confuse what gets posted on RLFans with what happens in the real world.

Give over, this place is [ithe[/i barometer!

Clearly a trip to the opticians for a stronger prescription is due. My apologies.

Can't be ruled out as nobody seems to have any idea how Heremaia managed to qualify for a dispensation that was supposed to [iprevent[/i players having to leave UK clubs. Think the RFL have given up completely now and are just making things up as they go along.

I think it's clear there presently isn't enough British players of the right quality to go round the 14 clubs, hence the reason why clubs with the pedigree of Leeds (for example) are signing the likes of Richard Moore.

If we get slated, who cares? We just need to concentrate on the juniors we are starting to grow. This will get our numbers right over the next 2-3 seasons.

But that was a whole 2 coaches ago!

Just go out and kick ass mate.

I will agree with that bit Ginge.

at least u got sense of humour bb

At that particular time that post was made back in 2009 (yes 2009), Rovers where a top-three side so my statement was 100% factually correct so not sure what your point is.


Typical back-peddling once your pathetic engineerring has been exposed. You now more acurately state that I have been bigging up Moore, however [unever once[/u did I state he was the [iideal[/i candidate as you have insinuated, attempting to portray me as a "club apologist".


Thinking a team would a little worse than expected happens by many people everyday - so what? Besides, your performance on the show is pitiful to say the least with your cowardly backtracking when challenged by Craig Murdoch.


Again, during that particular tournament, Fox was the better winger and Tony Smith agreed by selecting him after Briscoe's lack of agility to turn and gather kicks was exposed. As far as stating he lacked the athleticism to be a winger is more of your manipulative fabrication.

When all's said and done, I continually expose your sad agenda of attaching ridiculas amounts of significance and importance to what is basically "rugby league chit-chat" which indicates you have some kind of inferiority complex.

Your outlook on this board is more of a "commentator rather a contributor" which is concurrent with the behaviour of a parasite - you really need to get a life...

Can I be the referee?

That's a pretty good riposte there from young Master Zod.

Just needs cab man to back him up...

"Mike Smith is possibly the best communicator the club has ever had". I rest my case.




[u"A little worse"?[/u

That's a bit rich. You said they were finished as a play-off force and would struggle to make the 6 in future. 2 Grand Finals and an away win at Wigan later pretty much exposes your judgement as, er, flawed. I’m feeling generous.
I was rubbish. No shame there. It wasn't really cowardly, though, more that I was completely outwitted by the cheeky Cumbrian halfback. You win some, you lose some.



Apart from these direct quotes, you mean: "I've felt the need to educate the FC fans about why Tom Briscoe [udoes not have the athletic ability[/u to play at international level unlike Fox."
"His l[uack of athletic ability[/u was exposed and exploited in terms of his lack of pace and agility and if you can't see that, then you really know nothing about how important the back-three's (i.e. [u2 wingers and full-back[/u) role is in modern-day RL"
"[uI agree about him not being a winger[/u, but even in the long term he won't make an international centre. The kid has the mobility and strength of a forward and I could see him maybe moved into the [usecond-row[/u one day"
In answer to what Tom Briscoe lacks: “ Speed and agility in bucket loads.”

Look, if you don't like being reminded of saying things like, in response to the question "Who do we want to sign as prop, if we could choose" when others were saying "Adam Blair" you picked "Joel Clinton", then don't say stupid stuff. Lordy. Moth to a flame Zod. It's good to have you back though, having been MIA for much of the season. A public service I carry out on the boards, drawing you in.

15 all.........................

God I am so lost with this zod v Barista I bloody knew I Shud ave bin a barrister wasted I am

I am a bit too. He's just so angry and aggressive about everything. I think he might feel a release of all that pent-up excitement next Tuesday when he comes to the Fans Forum. Then we can all settle down again to shouting the pre-season odds, assuming the signings are astute enough, which I believe they are.

Well ain't it a winger were signing Scottish he is in Australia so we have English in griffin, irish in mcconnel and wats his name who is Scottish thatl do me

zod is ok I think u two just rubbed each other up wrong way

Aw spoilt sport

OK Dad.

Why?

It's amusing, the majority of posters appear to be enjoying it.

I think you'll find this is my gig.

Barista just knocked some of Zod's arguments out of the park.

Game point to her.

Come on zod come on zod lol
