Thats the one,the mickey mouse league michael dobsons playing in,the michael dobson you were hoping was going to sign for FC.

The same Mickey Mouse league a certain Michael Dobson played in. That would mean that as a Hull fan you would turn down Dobson if he was offered to Hull? Apart from Blair, all our signings are under 30. We pass the over 30's to you lot to pay their pension.

Seems Bobbin' Along realised the ridiculousness of his/her post.

Not at all. Simply realised the futility of entering a debate with someone as blinkered as you.

Yeah, that'll be it.

Ok then. Does a player with no kicking game suddenly develop one at a lower lever? This seems to be the thrust of your argument.

Are you capable of realising the ridiculousness of your post,a mickey mouse league.Whatever.

I'm just wondering why he's so interested in our signings

He's concerned about our lack of a kicking game. He should be commended for being so altruistic.

Titans caved in when Kelly was injured. They ended up buying Daniel Mortimer mid season to try & steady the ship. He must have been doing something right to be missed like that.

all I know is the Titans fans don't want to see him go so he must be half decent then.

I could kick 40/20 after 40/20 if there wasn't anyone close to me and I had all the time in the world.

Let's get one thing straight, the NRL reserve comp isn't as good as SL, as much as the Aussie apologists knocking about on here seem to think it is. Fact is I reckon the likes of Wigan, Leeds, Wire, Saints etc. could more than hold their own in the NRL comp.

So basically how a player performs in the NSW cup is no real barometer for how he might or might not do in first grade, whether in the NRL or SL.

I'm a Titans fan. If you'd watched them over the last couple of years since Prince left you'd see why some fans don't want him to go. He's capable of the odd bit of brilliance, something GC fans are starved of!

It's like FC fans with Rankin, on the whole he's massively inconsistent, but because he's got the odd bit of magic in him he's forgiven it.

Excellent. I'm glad we agree that we don't really know how good his kicking game will be in SL. I guess we'll find out the traditional way, by watching him in SL.

I've missed your contribution on here mate. Stick around more often please.

I pop on now and again mate. Is it my imagination or has the trolling dropped a couple of notches?

Despite being somewhat reassured by roopy' assessment and excited by Kelly's clear talent, an organiser is important. Thing is though that Broughs, Sinfields, Dobsons and Walshs aren't exactly growing on trees. Pryce and Sneyd at 1865's club are not really renowned for directing play (which isn't saying they're not creative or good players). A lot goes through Westerman there now, I believe - but even still.
I think we've recruited well, but for me it's more relief than triumphalism. And after Keating, who came with a decent pedigree, I am a wee bit concerned about how it'll fit together. Be interesting to see how it pans out.

Well yeah, but you're the one that piped up when I questioned someone calling his kicking game as excellent based on watching him in an inferior competition, just remember that.

I say he has no real kicking game to speak of and certainly isn't an organiser, based on watching him for a long time in the NRL first grade, which is much closer to SL standard than NSW cup is. I challenge you to find any GC fan who thinks different.

Not sure how you worked out that Sneyd & Pryce don't direct play?

Don't you worry tapes have been sent of Sneyds challenge cup performance on how to kick and organise. After all he's your go to guy.

Neither are, long dictated saints play and williams did at cats. Sneyd never directed play at cas last year, he was more off the cuff hence the reason powell dropped him / subbed him in the big games

Do people still use tapes ?

Well it's a spectrum, but I wouldn't put them alongside players renowned for pulling the strings. Pryce had always been more of a runner, and Sneyd from what I've seen and read on here seems closer to somebody like Myler than, for example a Dobson or (even more so) a Deacon. Finn is more their type I think, if not necessarily quite the same quality.

sneyd ripped up sl then for what ever reason went of the boil last few matches,still glad we got him, think out of all the halves you got myler could be the best

Beta max in 1865.
