Where do we fit a re-run in? During the blank weekend for the England v Exilia game?

looks like, or a vacant cup weekend if both teams are knocked out maybe ?

Maybe this summer. So the England v Exiles date works

this would still allow a French international with effectively a 'B' side playing against someone like Scotland or someone of similar level a bit like a 'LER Select' side ?

doubt peter gentle will be too keen on playing the game that weekend, we could lose upto 5-6 players if the knights play too, also both games rumoured strongly to be played at the kc stadium! (exiles and knights)

Dredging this up from the bowels of history

well I hope there's a friggin' game this time !

drove six friggin' hours for sweet FA only to arrive at the GB with no speccies - I thought to myself 'there's something not right about this ?'........(perceptive or what ?)

some friggin' council plonker decided he should water the friggin' pitch at 0800 hrs on the day of the match in friggin' freezin' conditions - not only had I just booked into the friggin' hotel but drove straight back another six friggin' hours - boy was I friggin' annoyed !!!!!

not that I bear a grudge or anything ?

That much is obvious.

What's the likelihood of a repeat postponement then?

if there is a postponement I will personally blow up the new stand.....



that's after I have executed the pathetic groundstaff with a Kalachnikov AK47



the ref plus linos will get the 'Vlad The Impaler' treatment.....(hope it's Ganson !)

It's Uncle Thierry

Zut alors !




quel con !

Fef banned for 2 matches for that gentle stroke of M-Mon's chin on Monday night

deserved it - lucky to stay on the field

he was doing ok this season kerbing his aggression and helping the team so it's no great loss to the squad - speaking with one of the SL refs before one of the early games at the GB this season he openly called Ferriol the 'penalty machine' so if that's what the refs are thinking then he's on dangerous ground with that kind of reputation going around - I don't think Trent will be unduly worried about losing him

should be his last season at the Cats - hopefully Mikael Simon will be given the chance to prove himself, he was really down a couple of weeks ago when not even in the 19 for the Wakey game really fearing for his future - nice guy and a good player who can actually control his discipline

So with Fef suspended and Cardace picking up a knock against Wire, the squad is:

Greeny, Blanch, Pryce, Dureau, Ian Hendo Henderson, Bulldozer, Sir Steve Menzies Campbell, Mounis, Traffic Warden, JPB, EEEEELLLOOOIIIIIIII, Millard, Bousquet, JaJa, Paea, Baitieri, Duport, Fisherman, Pala.


Not seen Hull's yet

Oh, here we are:

Aspinwall, T-Bris, Crooks, Heremaia, Horne, Green, Lynch, Manu, J Cunningham, Bowden, Pitts, Russell, Seymour, The Human Tattoo, Turner, Westerman, I Wish I Could Be Like Liam Watts (fa fa fa faa faa faa faa fa), Whiting, Yeaman of the Guard.

You'll 5hit us

Really hope so.

Ever noticed how any thread featuring one of the Hull clubs descends into internecine bickering?

interesting to see Bousquet back in the squad to replace DF - unfortunately no place for Mickeal Simon who will be a very unhappy bunny - he is pretty disconsulate not being in the squad at the moment and this will not help his confidence

wonder if TR will persist with Eloi ? he hasn't been brilliant lately so maybe Fisherman will get a recall ?

Sebastien Raguin = Traffic Warden ? - lost me there JD

His day job when he was at Toulouse.

Mickael Simon - yes. I'm a big fan of the lad. He looks like the epitome of a modern front-row forward to me, i.e. big, strong, mobile and built like a brick privy.

really ? didn't know that ....i'll deffo be abusive to him later on ( from a distance of course...)

don't know what the problem with Mickael is exactly - seems like a punishment of some kind

he says he's fit as he can be but needs match practice - Trent did a similar thing with Eloi by leaving him out of the squad for no apparent reason but all it seems to have done is weaken his confidence IMO - EP isn't the player he was last season or at the beginning of this season, I don't get TRs tactics here....


Bousquet is a good prospect but Mickael is proven SL material - sorry, I don't get it !

12-4 up after 22. No Hendo Henderson. Fisher started, Eloi and Bousquet off the bench.

22-8 at half-time.

What score is it please?

comfortable enough with Dureau running through twice unapposed to seal the game plus steady kicking

competant perfromance against a much weakened Hull outfit tho' you can only play what's in front of you

back to third with the game in hand in the bag - now to the serious stuff of the mighty Saints !
