cant say i agree, but at least both the missus and daughter like rugby.
i remember when the father in law asked me if he could take the bain to rovers, i thought jeez, theyre rubbish and she will soon want to join me in supporting the mighty black n whites.then you won the northern rail and then got promoted.and then you mullah'd us 42-6 and i knew id lost my daughter to the dark side for good.

Think you will find out ur the dark side and ur daughter to well done to them, there was always arguments when I was at home with parents and brothers my dad worked at old craven park, but for some reason my oldest brother went to the dark side 1980 challenge cup still fresh in my mind for ribbing and taking the p!ss out of him. It's all good now tho and he as even been to the odd rovers game

i go to a couple of games a season at ncp myself, and usually at least 1 will be in yer east stand. went against crusaders last season and thought the young kid who pulled off his club kit to reveal a hull shirt at h/t in front of the east stand was well funny, as was the east stands response.

nothin wrong with a bit of banter but pointless and over the top pointless derailings and far too many posts to be mentally healthy is another matter

ok fella, point taken.clint newton is ok but hardly a legend.even as a hull fan i know he'd never make your all time best 13/17.
so hes hardly hkr legend
tata 4 now
ps. pointless twice in the same sentence shows this is effecting your mental health.
i advise bed rest

Is that the definition of "legend"?

James Webster & Stanley Gene have just had their status revoked thanks to Eddie & his Definitions!

at what point did i say he was a legend i say legend (in the style of foghorn leghorn or fred elliott



)

you cant beat a bit of banter, the problem is that a lot of poeple on here dont no what it is and everything turns into a childish arguement,

For what its worth I quite like Newton.He is a wind up artiste of the first order,but watchable on the pitch.
I still like to take the P out of him though.

its good that he gets on well with ALL fans and likes to interact with them i say............

No they don't then!

yer well my dads bigger than yours...............

given what youve achieved in the past i didnt think you considered them legends. youve had far better players in their respective positions, and neither spent most of their career at cp,though them being well liked is understandable.same with newton.thought your legends would be of the calibre of say millward,lowe,sullivan etc if you base legendary status on playing ability ,achievments or a local lad coming good.

Personally I think it's an overused term. However, in terms of positive impact on the club during his time with us I would put James Webster up there with any of them.

certain players come to a club, and become legends, Sir Stanley Gene is one of those players, a living legend. Newtons maybe not in that position yet though but hes defo a fans favorite.

Course he is there is no other player that is more Hull Kr than newts he just loves it when he runs out onto the pitch to mean machine

What a complete load of tripe, yes hes a fans favourite but by no means is he a rovers legend!!!

Gene and Webster are the only 2 of late imo.

Agreed.

Its not a straightforward question of ability or acheivement when attaining "legend" status IMO. Paul Fletcher is a legend primarily for excess loyalty in the dark days when most players of his undoubted quality would have gone elsewhere.

I think he should have gone, wasted his talent staying with us and would have got international recognition at a bigger club.

I was sad when Anthony Sullivan left, but pleased for him and his career.

I know what you mean, but I think he stayed for more reasons than just rugby. He hasn't done too badly for himself.

Yeah, I'm assuming his business and family commitments came first, can't fault him for that.

i remember a derby at CP when Gary Nolan slapped psycho Fletch, Fletch just launched him, quality.

Pity Super league came to late at Craven Park for the big man. He was a loyal player at Rovers and turned down big money moves across the city and will be regarded as one of Rovers legends.

And still turns out in Rovers colours week in week out for the Rovers legends team in the RFL organised touch rugby comps when they are held down at Craven Park. Top bloke. Pace has gone though.
