We have signed jake-butler-fleming a 24yr old outside back from wentworth magpies.A versatile player who can play various positions in the backs.Can only be another positive.

agreed. wing , centre, full back, just the type of versatility we need at a good age fingers crossed

According to Sheens JBF is in the mould of Kenny Sio.

I believe Quinlan also plays for the Magpies!

Double barrelled name? Surely should be playing Onion.

Yet another ozzy , do we not have any local talent . may as well rename the club HKRFC australia

I see you've suddenly learnt to spell you've got to remember if your trolling don't forget what your trying to be you give yourself away

a bit ric daff lad considurin yov got 7 out of yor startin 13 overseas players,, no local talent available as you well know

Shoccking spelling did u not go tu scool

Sorry to interject, and I rarely post nowadays but if you're referring to Hull - you're talking . I don't blame you, as the troll clearly seems an annoying halfwit, but don't make up nonsense to suit your argument or you'll appear just as bad.

Radford has already said barring injuries Tuimivave will be fighting Connor for a place on the bench, and Manu will almost certainly be on the bench replacing Hadley for impact. Michaels won't start in front of Fonua, Griffin or Talanoa, so that equates to 4/5 of our starting 13.

I actually think Rovers will bring through some decent talent from the City this season, as it's much easier to do so in the Championship. I also think Ellis, Abdul and Lunt will be a class apart in that division and if you have a decent pack for them to play behind - they'll tear it up.

Quinlan used to play for the Magpies, but last year played alongside McCarthy for the Illawarra Cutters with the odd appearance for the Dragons thrown in for good measure.

I am surprised you're still allowed to post on here.

you have 7 overseas players that if not injured will play a part in the games you play at the moment just making a point to the buffoon whats nonsense about that,, you clearly seem uncomfortable about it

Well, that's not what you said originally, hence why Raggytash responded.

Either way, there's a set number of Non-Fed/Quota players a club can have, and neither Hull or Rovers will be going over it, so who cares.

silly billy cares hes spoilt another topic then other dullers join in you also seem bothered by the amount of overseas players you have in your team or you wouldn't interfere in this topic would you billysmart in disguise

Exactly.

As for double-barrelled names, they haven't been the preserve of the semi-posh for a while, as far as I can tell. Quite a few knocking round SL on mostly working class young men.

Not really bothered by having 7 overseas players at Hull (it's actually one less than last year). What happened is that you got corrected after saying something that wasn't correct, that's all.

Generally, I think the number of 7 overseas players should be lower and brought back down to 5 for all clubs, but that's one for the VT really.


As for Hull fans "interfering", it was you that brought up Hull FC's overseas contingent. Had you not done so (or at least been correct about it) you wouldn't have got the responses you have done.

I feel the urge to expand this point, MR. Double-barrelled names were almost entirely the preserve of the totally ra-posh when I was growing up. As an educated fellow, I am sure you remember the John Betjeman poem about Joan Hunter Dunn!

Somehow and inevitably perhaps over the subsequent generations, the double-barrelled surname has been hijacked by socially disenfranchised ethnic minorities, by the broken marriage brigade, by aspirational feminist wannabes with no taste and most worryingly by the sink estate chavs.

It's a bit like the Burberry tartan. You know it's value is undermined when you see similar on market stalls everywhere.

Anyway, I can name Jones-Buchanan, Jones-Bishop, Caton-Brown, Murdoch-Masila, McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Lateagain-Kelly. Beyond that I'm struggling. Can you think of anymore?

Eddison Pratt-Riddlesden. That actually happened. Think he had pineapple hair.

Poor old Jason Lee. The original pineapple.

They destroyed him on fantasy football also they had a segment on the poshest named footballer who was Forbes Phillipson Masters who it turned out wasn't posh at all

I can't off the top of my head.

However, I think JBF may represent a hyphenated first for Hull Kingston-Rovers. Unless we count Tangata-Toa.

Kiwi's seem to like a double-barreller:

Kenny-Dowall
Tuivasa-Sheck
Waerea-Hargreaves
Watene-Zelezniak
Fisher-Harris

I think double-barrelled surnames with or without hyphens seem to be quite common in NZ culture, especially amongst the indigenous. Spain, Portugal and Brazil too.

Robbie Hunter-Paul.

Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Raymond Faitala-Mariner...we should sign all these players immediately as a treat for Gwilym.
