He's a top player and one I wouldn't mind seeing in a Rovers shirt, but big names with impressive cv's don't always win you games, as you well know.

But we were talking about our respective clubs abilities to sign big names not which team has had the best form this year, so you have in fact changed the subject due to your club not being able to sign big names, taking nothing away from the fact your nomarks that have done well (mainly due to having a settled side).

You see just when we think we are going over the top rubbing the fact that we are a much much better side than you, A bitter jealous envious Hull fan like you appears and makes it all worthwhile

If we were to sign Bernie Clifton (Warrington would probably beat us to the bird) he would strengthen us at the moment, what’s your point?

Diddums, you've signed an ageing scrum half who's passion and commitment to the game will be questioned at every opportunity by your fickle lot
You've signed two former SOO and international players, obviously former for a reason because they just don't cut it anymore but it's ok they are nice lads in the dressing room
We are mocked for signing young british players and low and behold Jordan Turner is signed
The problems within your squad stem from the cheap approach to coaching and the people in these positions. The core of the squad had seen Cup Finals and a Grand final in the last 4 years and have been taken backwards at such an alarming rate that people wouldn't believe you were once seen as the team to break into the so called top 4 let alone be so so far behind us now on the field

He's telling the truth, both players at the club who has been an embarrasment to the NRL both on and off the field.

Everybody's doing it, it's the way forward. If anything you are mocked for having more quota players than most. By the way, you still haven't answered my question.

All that happens when you sign big name players is that thick fans like you get the horn over it.

No you're not. You were mocked for making out that Cook and Hodgson were the 2 "top drawer" signings Hudgell had promised. Sounds like Krisnan Inu is the one Morgan was talking about at the weekend in terms of the back coming in who will "take you to the next level". Any ideas about the other one?
