Only one on that list was a good player.

I miss Donkin.

all had the potential to be good players for what ever reason it never happened, noticed theres another donkin in the reserves isn't there wonder if any relation

Add Leigh Deakin to that list. He was highly rated, but for me was bloody awful.

That's the thing, you don't really need to wonder why, fans need to raise their expectations of players social activities, being smashed in a nightclub on a weekend isn't acceptable during the season, too many players are "good lads" or "nice blokes" to the fan base, until they start to have their attitudes changed by the expectations of the people who pay their wages then we'll see the same wasted of talent year on year, I cannot remember a time when we didn't have an "if only" player at Hull FC.

Sadly true.

I hope that the clear out of the bad eggs is being followed up by some tightened discipline but I fear that there may players there now who might well fall into the "if only" category if not managed correctly.

Paul attracted a bit too much attention from the social spying brigade, funny how he was always being spotted and more obvious ones where going un-reported. Nature of the beast I suppose, but for those of us who remember him as a young lad and at the time he gave us hope for the future along with Rich Horne and Paul Cooke.

I wish him all the luck at Wakey and it could be what he needs, we may yet see the KING OF OLD.

Constantly offering people fights in Pozition kind of does that Ian, nobody spied on Paul, he brought it upon himself.

He couldn't get his head down at the club he loves. So whats he going to be like when he is re-united with pub buddy. Mr Brough

They may have one or two, for old times sake!

The amount of stuff I used to remove from the board was at times silly, no way could anyone man been in as many places, drinking that much alcohol and survive is beyond me. I do think many of the "reports" where at best "stretching the truth" TBH and he is by no means the worst.
