Don't stress JB. After tomorrow you will never have to read a Barrington Bradman Bing McKenzie post again

I'm currently praying to the omnipotent being that is Paul Gallen that your fellow countrymen at Heathrow T3 will get off their pommie backsides and shovel all the snow off the runway in order my plane can take off tomorrow night... but the way things are looking I might have to try praying to Andrew Ettingshausen as well... I think this might be beyond Gal...

What's up Bazza........have the septic tanks not got 'tinternet or is your bar in some backwater where the locals will think you have 'gotta perty mouth there boy"

Sorry Gutters but Barry McKenzie won't be able to watch much NRL or its poorer relation SL whilst living in the land of the free owing to the fact it's about as popular in the USA as Julian Assange is with the US Government over there right now.

Barry McKenzie feels he has a duty to all his fans right here on the forum to provide quality and up to date information about all things footy. Sadly I wont be able to watch much NRL and therefore wont be able to report back on how poorly little pommie sam and Gareth Eliss are getting on...even though I probably don't need to.

Therefore it is with much regret that Barry McKenzie will not be posting on these boards again.

Of course I will be available via email for any issues or queries that a straight link to a SMH webpage posted by Dolly Massager wont help you with.

Really? I would have thought that after living in London for the better part of a year you would be used to an enviroment where nobody is interested in League.



I mean to say, you have been able to comment on the state of the NRL and ESL without actually even going to the ground nearest to you to watch the only Pro ESL team on offer in London, so how is this different to being in the USA? I am sure there are plenty of bars frquented by other Single Australian Men that you can go to and watch the Sharkies getting hammered every week without having to get up at 6am to do it......so in reality bazza, there is no difference between where you are now and where you are going to next.......

please don't encourage him, he is offering to leave and never return!

I will stop if he offers to take Dully Massager with him

Thats a good point Gutters.

I don't have the TV ratings for RL in the USA but from what I've seen on telly there during recent trips unless it involves shooting a ball through a hoop, driving big cars around an oval, playing baseball or wearing padding, a helmet and shouting 'hut hut' a lot those Seppos don't want to know about it.

BACK ON TOPIC!



Is there any room in Eastern Hull for Greg Inglis? I mean if he were to sign, him and Mason would get through some pies that's for sure

The type of stars some Experiments could only ever dream of been able to afford.







Hey 2000 home shirts sold already GF, that's nearly Fulcrubronquins Experiment's home support isn't it.

Does that include the 15 notes you got for the one at the bottom of your wardrobe


Merry Xmas Roofs.....here's to another great year of banter and I am especially looking forward to July...if the RFL do eject a heartlands team...these boards will melt

Oh yeah, was bit disappointed with that actually.





Cheers GF, you as well.



Well in theory no heartlands teams should be ejected, but will leave it at that....

How come this thread rolled along quite nicely and yet the willie mason/tongan assport thread has turned into a Hullathon?

Because we're just that rugby league mad in this wonderful city.

BLOODY HELL! hUDDERSFIELD HAVE SIGNED ANOTHER....HOW MANY IS THAT THEY HAVE NOW?.....Oh...4 you say

Fair play to them, good club Huddersfield, am having a drive to their place on Sunday actually. You see I will visit real clubs Gutterfax.

so...they've taken the ankle bracelet off then have they


Crabtrees testy.....good reason to go...always like the way he plays the game!

All about principle my friend.

12th.......having beaten Crusaders, the worst team in the league and won a derby match. Now with 3 very big games coming up do you still reckon the passport issue was worth it?
I mean, you could have been pretty much as bad as this with a team full of English Talent

Jesus, you're getting as obsessed as a few (not all) of the Hull fans on here GF.





Super League (which Fulcrubronquins theoretically shouldn't be a part of FTR when you think about it...



) is a marathon not a sprint my friend.

If we have a disappointing season in SL, yes it will be just that, but considering the strides we have made from promotion in 2006 (you know, like [iearning[/i an SL place through hard work and been a big enough club for the honour..



), to survival in 2007 (something many promoted clubs in the past have been unable to do), to 7th in 2008, to 4th in 2009, to a first-ever SL play-off win in 2010.


With all that in mind, I can accept a poor season this year, our support will remain about the same (at least 3x that of some lesser 'clubs' if you can call it that

) and I've no doubt that we will get the news we want in July and be able to bounce back for a better season next year.

Would like to take this opportunity to again congratulate the Vikings on getting back what they should never have lost in the first place.

Now, as far as who to kick out, I would keep all the [u[iclubs[/i[/u in SL, and eliminate the one which isn't, if you get my drift......

I'll tell you in October!

good response....

I have booked a reminder in my diary to make sure we catch up, because there were some other quotes in this thread about our strength conditioning coach and propping up the league that were quite good too


Wigan and leeds next isn't it

we did better than last year, if we can just cut out the rest of the English in the squad we might beat St's next year!

genius

up there for thinking!
