There is the poser?The leeds side then was not described as old as it is now in some quarters,and there was some young forwards with potential coming through,some are strill here,one or two have gone,Scruton to name one, who got his ring in 2008.Yes Gary must have thought "I think we can win the thing with these lads not on top $ like I would have to pay Morley.

I had a conversation on Friday with a friend.

I truly believe that Moz has been our most important signing. Not just as a leader on the pitch but also in the dressing room. Someone who came in and was respected by the entire team whether British or an Aussie international.

I think he has most people from all over RL got their respect

I might have to throw the signing of a certain Mr Tony Smith into the ring here.

But player-wise you could be right, I'd say the Joey Johns signing made a lot happen for us.

the best 2 signings that you have ever made during the sl era must surely be moz and tony smith as they have both changed your clubs culture without a doubt

regarding moz never coming back to the rhinos
i believe that it was a mistake that we didn't re-sign him due to the clubs offer of a 2 year deal not being good enough to make it even onto his managers bargaining table,but in hindsight it has hardly restricted our clubs success has it?

agro today in the league express between moz's book and fat garry schofield

Garry at it again heh?

Quote ="the flying biscuit"go to the bottom MOZ ON LEEDS SNUB www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... mself.html'" A poster who once said on here he supports Liverpool (not that I really believed him based on other things he said, but that's what he claimed anyway) posting that link. Interesting.

Typical Schofield. Doesn't care what he says, but gets upset when someone says something about him.

maybe its a myth that scousers are all "victims"

what next, are we going to find out flying biscuit has a job and doesn't nick cars or have a curly wig and moustache

ha ........did i make you read it did I...... did you read a page on the internet on the SUN's website about a feckin rugby league legend???

I'm tellin scouzers you read an internet page from the Sun...i'm tellin tellin tellin.....

Well i read it, forwarded it, told my mates about it, went outside looked up at the big yellow thing in the sky, then went to the gym had 6 minutes on the sun bed, and drank a bottle of Sunny delight, then i picked up my Son from school in my Nissan Sunny, and popped the beatles "here comes the Sun" on the cassette deck.

grow up....... honestly ........

By the way have you rung the cub shop about Moz being a disgrace by having his book serialized in the Sun.

All this 'kiss and tell' stuff!! Whilst it's interesting I can't help thinking that it is a year, or two early.

Best time to release the autobiography is while he's still playing. Imagine if Sean Long's book was just coming out now, everybody would be "who was he?".

"Best time" commercially then probably yes, but, does that make it right?

I've only read the extract, so perhaps I'm getting the wrong end of the stick, but, all this tittle tattle with and about people still involved in the game it's not right is it? Also, what if we have our greatest year next year (it's always our year after all) and he is a big part of it will there be another book/final chapter?

He is a top man and made a vast difference to our team and set up of that there is no doubt i just don't think he would have sold less copy next Christmas

I couldn't care less where a fella from a Man United supporting family in Salford serialises his book. I only care what people who have (or claim to have) an affiliation to Liverpool do.

Meanwhile back on topic, Moz's book has sold out at the HJ shop and they are ordering more copies !

It's not a case of selling your club and the game down the river though, is it? The names Long, Senior and Alker spring to mind.
He is also at the end of his career. There are several people in other sports and other areas of life who publish their -'life story' whilst still in their early twenties.

I don't know what is in the book so can't say one way, or the other, about "selling the game down the river", it might not be that contraversial?

BTW I think he is a top bloke has got a story to tell and desrves some cash for telling it. I look forward to reading it and that might sound a bit two faced, but, I really think as Club Captain, a current international I would have preferred to read it next year.

I'm a Liverpool fan and I clicked the link. Anyone want to buy my season ticket off me?

Yes, I think he has made a big mistake as he has now missed the Wire 2013 CC and GF wins.

My English teacher Miss Pringle always said "take your time, make sure you get everything in, and never finish early".

No you're not.

The book actually sold out half way through his first official signing session on Monday which was a bit of a bummer to find out after queing up for 20 mins and getting a load of (mainly friendly) stick from the wire fans.
I was advised to go to Waterstones and come back but they couldn't g'tee he would still be there - fortunately he was and I was the last to get it signed.

He was of course the true gent I expected him to be, even though he had clearly had enough of signing for the day. (can't believe Hetherington at Leeds thought he was finished when he came back from Oz).

Turns out the wolfware shop only had 200 which I though was a bit pessimistic seeing it was advertised. The shop lady said they would ask him to come back to do another session but Adrain didn't know anything about it.
Next local signing is Waterstones on24th at 2pm. They only had 7 books left so hope they stock up properly.

As a side note I also managed to get Paul Sculthorpes Man of Steel autobiography brand new hardback delivered for £2.81 - how the mighty have fallen!

Uncle Rico, I think that either you've mis-read my post, or maybe I haven't mad my point well enough. I'm not saying that Moz has sold the game down the river, he certainly hasn't, and I don't believe he ever would, but I think that Senior and Alker did and Long wasn't far off. The three of them tried to sell with sensationalism, and the first two didn't appear to care whether they damaged the game or not.

Dear Teesside (double S noted from a previous telling off) I hadn't misread your post, or indeed thought that you hadn't made it well enough, it was as a point eloquently made, I got it.

Without wishing to sound defensive, perhaps you misread mine? Ha ha. For what it's worth Chaz Winslade has hit the proverbial 'nail' I was rather clumsily trying to make 'right on the head' about it being a better read next year.

I assume she was suspended from working with children, especially the male gender, shortly after this advice?
