Whilst watching the match tonight i thought i heard him say that whilst Sean Long and a few others had retired, saints were still able to assemble a team UNDER the salary cap.Could he please get in touch with the Hull FC board and advise them how this happens as we are missing something.

What do you want him to get in touch for?.... To let them know Longy's retired!(which is what we've been telling you for months)

or to let them know you "CAN" assemble a team UNDER the salary cap?

Are you posting this hilarious gag on every board?

You may have noticed, i posted it first, but it's too good a chance to miss!

It keeps you off the streets I suppose.

You should know Shelds..... about these boards keeping people off the streets...

can't be much to do in Oz!

Not at eight in the morning there isn't.

... and it's a bit dodgy going out at 11 pm, especially up West Hull

It's a good job posting hilarious gags keeps you off the streets then.

how about taking a walk in the sunshine? running, reading the papers in the suburbs?coffee in the harbour,working??? or just general backpacking.... shagging even

???? loads to do in oz at 8 in the morning sheldon ive been there more than once...

Well, it looks like your time in Oz has affected your sense of humour,or it's hit a raw nerve. I suppose "living, working, drinking and general socialising with "real life" fans from the opposite side of the river" gets you better prepared for p1ss taking than the few cyberspace friends you have on a 19 inch monitor.
If the statement was about a Rovers player, i'm sure it would of been picked up on and a similar comment would have been made, and taken for what it is, just cross city banter.

Whatever you choose, have a nice day shelds!

To be honest it was nice of Fitzgibbon, O'Meley and Long to all pose together at the press conference last year when they "Retired"




Must have been a symbolic gesture to what they are doing to your club

I'm more worried how you searched for that on Google.

Well "old men with pants round ankles" didn't turn up much which could be used so I ended up relying on the word "pension"

why not google, CVA and see what you can find?

Aye,those three are useless now.

You do know that Ben Galea (32), Willie Mason (30) and Ben Fisher (29) are all older than Mark O'Meley (29) don't you (with Clint Newton and Joel Clinton being only 1 and 7 months younger)?

But yeah, otherwise it was a very good and well though-out joke

Indeed and you also realise that Newton, Galea, Clinton and Fisher missed only 10 Super League games between them, 13 if you count the 3 Clinton was waiting for his visa and we even had one extra game than you.

Whilst O'Meley, Fitzgibbon and Long missed 27 between them, A full regular season on full pension

FC in general have been very unlucky with injuries, i wouldnt crow about KR's injury free players, you never know maybe its your teams turn next season on the treatment table? Hull KR have been very lucky with injuries

Rovers have lots of injuries, the fact the club doesn't mention them in every interview is why you think we are lucky.

Rovers don't seem to suffer from the niggly injuries though i'll give you that, very rare our players miss games with calf or hamstring strains where as Hull seem to suffer lots of these to a variety of players

But Hull FC do, so is this down to the individual or down to training methods? its not as though its just the older (

) player, it happens to the young ones, are the training regime, not warming up / or warming down correctly? or is the conditioning completely wrong? Im at a loss as to why we seem to struggle, and i can only think its the training! depressing
