...a haircut?

Thought it was too good to be true when I was told we had signed Sean Long.

Thought I remembered that as well.

He tell you himself did he?

sean long wants to................use the same pen as paul cooke did in signing his contract...

at the end of 2004 i honestly thought Mcrae had taken the club as far as he could and that we woulden't win something with him in charge

but come back Shaun all is forgiven, those 2004 performances and attacking flair seem like some distant hallucination compared to this.

...his head testing for signing with us?

i too thought mcrae had done all he could at fc....but this poop is an embarrasment....

He'll be thinking "Whatever Rich Agar told me is utter !"

I would take Bomber back over Agar any day of the week.

Did i hear right about Long,,,.I thought he had signed for FC for 2 years,but thought i heard Eddie Hemmings say that it*s a 1 year with a another 1 optional...

How can people actually have a dig at Mcrae in his final season had it not being for injuries we would have being 2nd in the league and remember we lost a close quarter final with Saints at KR in CC which arguably was there toughest match of there run to the cup.

Year on year we made big improvements except 2003 when we were again massively injury hit and missed the play-offs.And he signed some good players Raynor,Carvell,Dowes,Best and Mcmenmey to name a few and played a big part in the devoplmet of Horne,Cooke and King.

Our magnificent board didnt want him though maybe a few could enlighten me why?

i thought longy said he was impressed with agars plans for the future..

He was talking about Thorman IIRC.

Sean Long wants..............His fookin head testing for coming to us !!!

He meant Thorman but just said it in a confusing manner.

No change there then. Think its time Sky had a clear out and got some new commentators in too.

Agar and Sharp?

agar would be no good as a commentator he cant even string a sentance together

Serious question.

Why would Mcrae wanty to come back to Hull?
Didn't he part on bad terms with Kath?

One thing that does hack me off a tad is when Phil Clarke says that certain teams tries are worth more than 4 points because of the skill level involved .

I know it is just his way of stating it was a good score , but I do find it rather irksome.

I never had a problem with Mcrae, ok we may not have won things but we played decent rugby that did not send you to sleep.

No. In fact he says in this month's Rugby League World magazine:

"I left them on good terms and I got offered the chance to coach in the NRL."

Fair enough.

im with long on that one if its true
