We could certainly do with some at this moment in time Ginge.

Heard dobbo wants to stay now not sure how true it is cud have keating and dobbo and burns

I heard tonight that Keating wants more money hence them looking at other options.
However these are only rumours in the pub and i doubt have any substance to them, does make you wonder though doesn't it.?

I heard cockayne is a done deal by somebody in the crowd today!

It is apparently however he tweeted and said it wasn't but I think it is heard brown of to cas

I cannot understand the logic in this if true which i hope isn't, Brown looks a very good player with a good future imo and should be offered a contract.
I only hope that this is just a rumour to add to the many that are flying around at the moment..

Spot on! Brown is faster, stronger, younger and has the potential to get better, I liked Cockayne when he was he before but he had his chance and blew it, we shouldn't go back when it's not progression.
Persevere with Caro too, he just needs to get some bottle and some confidence, he's still young and people forget he only played a handful of games for London so lacks experience and again has potential, I can see him getting better given the chances Cockayne had!

You are without doubt the most gullible person I know of.

Did you know that guillible is not actually a word and it is not the the Oxford dictionary.

You are correct. "Guillible" is not in the Oxford English Dictionary. Or any other, for that matter.

I can't understand why Caro hasn't been out on loan to a lower league club, he needs game time and a bit of confidence.

Thats what I said
Even with the typo

Hasn't he been at Gateshead? Not asking that in a sarcastic manner btw, I genuinely don't know if he has or he hasn't.

Not heard that he has. It would seem the best solution. The worry is that he'll be brought back for the Leeds game and be hung out to dry in a very weakened team.

Hull FC under investigation for fielding 14 players I here.

And James Clark has already tweeted saying the 4th official gave Pitts permission to go onto the pitch whilst Lineham was hobbling off on the East Stand touchline

Or not...

@KCCLARKY: For those asking about Lineham interchange. 4th official allowed Pitts on and signalled for Tom to leave on the far side #noproblemsthere

Caro has been playing for Gateshead and scoring same as heil who scored yesterday

While I don't expect anything much to come of it, it is worth bearing in mind that @KCCLARKY is 'Head of Communications, Media & Marketing at Hull FC', on twitter, so I won't [inecessarily[/i be taking his view as definitive.

IIRC (and I very possibly don't) the 4th official allowing the player on was part of Salford's defence and it availed them little.
Of course that was them defending a narrow lead late in a game - but that raises the question as whether it is the breach of the rules or the wider context and outcome that is punished. If Cas had scored and won against 14, would Salford still have been punished to the same degree for the same offence.

I've not and I won't be watching it back - if they're both on the field together for more than a few seconds, say 2 ptb, with the player coming on in the line, then I'd expect (or rather deem appropriate) a [ismall[/i fine (or a bit larger and suspended) and a warning. Just to discourage it being done tactically.

O/T I don't really get twitter. Apart from weird horse it seems complete cackamala to me. But I thought the hashtag thing was to click on for similarly themed cackamala? Is it also used as an equivalent of 'FACT'?

The kid was hardly in a fit state to contribute to the game at the time, non story really.

Surely the competency of the 4th official needs to come into play soon on this. It has happened twice now this season, and a player cannot enter the field of play until he gives them the thumbs up to do so

True, but the rule, or at least the convention, is that you can't bring on sub until the player he's replacing comes off, even if he's down injured in backplay. By getting a player on more quickly you gain a small advantage relative to a team that waits in the same circumstance - and if you don't discourage it, the convention will quickly change. Which wouldn't be the end of the world, but the current method is simpler.

As you say, the thing itself seems like a bit of a non-story. My point really is more about how much store Hull fans think we're likely place in what Hull FC's propagandist says.

It needs to be clearer whose responsibility it is. I actually think it should be on the 4th official. But then there's room for claims of misinterpretation - so maybe it should be shared, I dunno.

why make things complicated? The 4th official should not let a player on until one has left the field of play. No ifs or buts.
