On the Sneyd to Cas rumour - not sure this has legs. Looking on their forum in addition to Trueman, Richardson and O'Brien apparently they are linked with McLelland too. No mention of Sneyd.

The Sneyd one may not, but I don’t think Radford has finished raiding yet!

A number of players have been mentioned in the course of this discussion. As usual some people including who do not get the “right” answers turn to being abusive. After all it is all opinion. Of the players that have transferred to us whilst young are a certain international hooker, now plying his trade in Australia, Jordan and Jez. You say the latter two have not improved. I say they have. SL coaches have commented on their development but but you with your limited involvement in the game don’t agree. That’s your right but I know who’s opinion I think is most valid.. The two players at Wakey also fall into this category. You are wanting proof of my membership, that is just childish In any case would prove nothing, anyone could post anyone else’s membership card. Can you imagine if every time two people on any forum held different opinions they had to prove they were “true” supporters.

No opinion can be right or wrong, it is just opinion. Opinion can however be reinforced by the opinion of others who have genuine expertise in the game. This includes coaches, administrators,, current and ex professional players. People falling into all of those categories have expressed the opinion both on the tv and in print that both Jordan and Jez have improved their game since leaving FC. Jordan was in fact ahead in the Man of Steel rankings before his injury. You however choose to ignore all of that and base your opinion only on your own observations of watching matches over a few years. You are entitled to do that but please give me the same right without making petty personal insults.

I’ll remind you of your original post.

Most of the young players you either release or allow to go that are signed by other SL clubs do develop into better players. We have benefited and so have Wakey. I think you should be acknowledged as a feeder club.



We asked you which players, you came up with one which you actually thought of, and that was decades ago, your statement was nonsense, but I’m pleased for once, you took the time to reveal more of your feelings, rather than your usual three line pessimism. Have a nice Sunday.

After reading back
you are correct, I shouldn’t have called you a forum Ghoul, I apologise

You change tack to suit your argument.

Whether Lyne is as good as your present centres is irrelevant. The issue is whether another team was able to develop him after his release. He gained international honours so I guess the answer is yes..
.
Your academy was not mentioned at all. The issue was young players and Miller fits that category.

The was no mention of Rovers success or failure only that we benefited from your cast offs.

I did not say FC were the only club to make such mistakes. I mentioned Cater and actually said other clubs were similar.

You say I talk rubbish?

Yes you do

What is your actually point?

Players can get better if they leave to another club, wow really nobody knew that, I thought that every player released by ever club got worse..

Well done captain obvious

Some players leave and get better, some don't, Hull are no worst than every other club in that respect all clubs make mistakes

This certainly isnt the reason for our disappointmentting season.

Hmm..

On an unrelated point Michael Maguire is rumoured to be axed at Wests with McNamara, Sean Wane, Woolfe amongst the leading candidates. Could be a bit of SL coaching change in the off season potentially.

Ian Watson confirming our interest in Joe Wardle, Savellio leaving maybe?

Trying to find out what you are talking about or what your point is because no one knows.

Think he has already signed, if it a backrower it would be Ma'u (already signed as weel I believe)

But hopefully its Fonua, as Wardke could cover centre too.

We are light in the backrow with only Savelio, Mau and Lane, meaning the likes of Scott pkayong backrow, another backrower might also mean Ma'u and Savelio dont have to do 80 minutes, you can see how their performances tail off last 20 minutes.

We should be making a serious offer from Marty Taupau, see if someone will take Taylor off our hands to help pay for it
