A Rubber Duckism which leads me to believe he may have sampled my mum’s cooking (it also applies to her gravy).

Perhaps Ellis is keeping his options open. Impress at Hull in case we go down/

It's a duck thing

I googled the term Rubber Duckism, and it has indeed been included in the latest edition of the Oxford Dictionary.

Apologies EW I edited your post without quoting

Not really, but it may lead to him getting more game time.

I didn't want to put cryptic messages on here, but the club watches. So I need to be careful what I put. Anyone's free to DM me for an explanation.

The club watches rlfans? Sure!

methinks they should be focusing their efforts on bigger things than the tripe on here. #KissKamOut though just in case.

Paul's inbox explodes like a hot girl who just changed her fb status to 'single'

I found out they monitor this board when I posted something about Harrisons personal life on here a few years ago. Got my knuckles slapped.

Well if they’re watching… GET A BLOODY GRIP, lead with strategy and direction and engage the fans.

Is he receiving pics of some long staffs?

Well if you are watching….. #KissKamOut!!! Lol.

2 tries on his loan debut for Hull. So far!
Not good enough for Powell though!

Is everyone missing him being at fault for two (now 3) tries?

Exactly. He's an obvious talent, but he still has massive faults in his game and has shown enough to show why Powell might not be willing to throw him into our first choice side.

How did they know it was you, Mr Cullen?

And effected a try saving tackle, or two.

Longstaff is showing some promise though. I’ve got no doubt his aggression and energy will benefit the side when he eventually gets a chance. I’m hoping we are patient enough with him while he develops, as he effectively saved the game for Hull at the end. It was clear there are a couple of areas to work on though.

Also, can you imagine the meltdown that would have occurred on here if we had been battered by Cats, with Holmes and Currie the villains? Longstaff saving the game for Hull would have been like pouring plutonium on the fire at Chernobyl. As it stands we are just at Three Mile Island levels of alert.

Spot on. I think with the right guidance there is a definitely a good player there, it's just massively naive to think a regular inclusion in our side this season would have made any difference to our (so far) poor season.

Do you write the scripts for Powell's after game comments on young players?
Longstaff is 19, of course he has a lot to learn. But for raw talent, skill levels, controlled aggression and spirit he is an excellent prospect. He also has a great engine. He needs game time, hopefully that's what he will get at Hull although I would prefer him to Oliver Holmes and play him at Warrington.

He's 20.

On Tuesday, last one or next, not sure.

No, I just don't fall into the trap of overhyping young kids too soon.

In that case, get rid.
