Is there any need at all for personal insults?

I don't care what your friend told you, I've no doubt HKR along with many clubs would want both Houghton & Hall but the fact is there both under contract and I cannot see them playing for any other club apart from Hull FC next season after that who knows.

Four to choose from:
Neil Michael Hudgell
Robert John Crossland
Philip Thomas Lowe
Peter Graham May

He must be very proud to have you as a friend.

I have friends, sometimes they tell me stuff, they trust me not to broadcast it on the internet though.

Conversely, perhaps your director friend doesnt mind you broadcoasting the inner-workings of the club he directs; in which case, you have to question his professionalism.

you are inspector morse and i claim my £5 Sherlock

Helps in narrowing it down then.

Thanks - was this HKR director teaching you to ride your BMX without stabilisers at the time of this ground breaking news!!

Ditto. I know something very good that the club will be announcing at the end of the season, but wouldnt post on here as it is very classified.

When it is announced however, people will be very happy

Heads our community team with Liam Welham, Ben Hardcastle and Carl Puckering. He does an excellent job aswell.

See you kath

Good lad Fitz, didn't really work out at The Kings but sere he'll do a fine job back in the NRL. In fact, reckon you guys could sure have used him next year.

nah, weve already got someone who cuts the oranges at half time!

thought Kingy had gone?

God that's going back a bit.

Washed down with a bottle of Isostar?

We need someone that cuts the mustard, s*d the oranges.

Hope your right Brother,in fact wih what Ihave been told I know you are.!! Bye Bye Kath

Who told you? Your year 8 P.E teacher?

Harry Potter?

indeed, i thought fc mite have used him as back cover.......but the quota is a stumbling block..

i was at my nephews chrisitening last sunday and 1 of the players was having his daughter christened at the same place. Got talking to 1 of the players about the quins game and he mentioned how impressed he was with hame and moa at which point i said i hope we keep moa and his reply was i do too but knowing hull fc they will get rid of him to save 5k



It's abit worrying when even players are saying things like that

The club has debts of £1.4m. Revenue will be down this year - we've sold 4,000 fewer shirts for starters. We have Long, Lauaki, Fitz, O'Meley, Berrigan on big money contracts, and I doubt that R Horne, Raynor, Yeaman, Calderwood, Tickle, Manu will be on peanuts. The players complaining about FC's penny-pinching should recognise that a consequence of their poor performances bringing in less revenue to the club is that savings having to be made.

This rant is not about Sam, BTW, who I like, just the fact that a member of a team that's dragged us to 12th in the table feels it's OK to moan about tight pursestrings.

Very good point well made, and to be honest i never looked at it that way just so frustrated with how things are at moment i seem to automaticly want to blame the club

You're not related to Standee are you?

(Sorry Standee, I'll "Give it a rest" now

)

Would have been my first thought as well, as I think most would like to keep Moa and not risk losing him for a relatively small amount of money.

I work for a business that's very cost conscious, and generally people are bought into the idea of saving money wherever possible and recognise that when sales are down, belts have to be tightened. Not all teams invested £30k or whatever in a warm weather training camp, but we did. Not all clubs get the training and playing facilities that we have. At the moment investing in those things isn't yielding a return as the team have taken us to (effectively) bottom of the league and gates and merchandise sales have suffered. Our of order to moan about cost saving in that context IMO. I'll get off my soapbox now.
