Not pinning hopes at all! My point was that as Briscoe is injured Cockayne will be needed at full-back, so Ratu will be needed to slot in at centre to allow Webster and Cooke to continue at 6 & 13 and avoid too much disruption to the current line-up.

fair point. its annoying when you lose lots of players to injury, we know better than anyone. keep your fingers crossed you don't lose any more. because you don't have much depth in your squad, your first 13 is very good but nothing after that. looks like for the first time since you came back to the big time, that you are in a bit of trouble. you all need to stick behind the club, the last thing you need is to lose fans because of it. i noticed your away support last night was very poor compared to your usual standard

Glad you take notice of us... as for noticing FC... not a chance!

confused

what does that mean

Just Basil trying to be clever again and falling short as usual. Pay him no heed.

Soz Einstein!

Err size isn't a problem as we're a bigger side than what we were last year and we finished 4th last year. We're certainly a lot bigger than than FC so what is your problem?

Weight of packs in kilos per each club's website.

Rovers
Vella 106
Wheeldon 105
Lovegrove 103
Netherton 104
Mills 118
Newton 102
Galea 95
Cook 97
Walker 107
Average 104

FC
Cusack 103
Dowes 108
O'Meley 106
Moa 114
Radford 102
Manu 109
Lauaki 109
Tickle 102
Fitzgibbon 104
Average 106

To be fair to Zod, he said that the rovers side was bigger and didnt narrow it down to just the pack. No idea if he is right and cant be bothered to check.

wille manu same weight as lauaki yeh right

Maybe he's just heavy boned

Just what the website said. A stone of that is his hair.

Pubic?... he should have a back, sack and crack then... I know a good lumberjack

He is right. If you take the backs into account, which [uare[/u heavier than Hull's, Rovers average weight is 98kg and Hull's is 97kg. Although if you adjust for Mills, who inflates Rovers average weight as the heaviest player in both squads, and doesn't really feature,the average weights are the same. So the comment about Rovers being [ucertainly much heavier[/u than Hull's looks somewhat of an exaggeration. I'm sure his prediction that Rovers will finish 3rd and Hull 9th, though, is accurate.

Well Rovers are a point better off than they were at this stage last season whilst Hull are bang on target for 12th again

No problem, just wondering why you hadn't slapped down one of your own fans for stating something that, in your eyes, is so obviousley wrong. From your comments in the Clinton thread I was under the impression you thought you had a team of giants, hang on though, its just coming back to me, you were talking a complete load of cack weren't you

Quite right. Plus 2 of the 3 teams between Rovers and top spot have been beaten by the 12th placed pension-seekers, so there's only really Leeds that stand between Rovers and the hubcap.

Or alternatively looking at the corresponding fixtures last season, Hull are four points up and Rovers two points down.

I feel quite optimistic now. Maybe if we lose a few more our chances wil get even better!

Plus Leeds have lost already.

I'd best get my Grand Final tickets sorted then.

Your slipping up

Coffee to make, shoes to shine, Sunday roast to cook, a woman's work is never done. Sort of back on topic, I might have a quick look at Matt Cook again on the DVD whilst doing the ironing.

zod's missus tells me he's always exaggerrating when it comes to size, and his version of "big" doesn't really tally with hers

I find it best to use that as a default position when it comes to Zoddy's posts, and now and again you'll be pleasantly surprised when something sensible is posted.
