I see the 6 local pundits in tonights HDM all have FC finishing above us.

Most of the national pundits too. Luckily the bookies dont see it yet so there are still some good prices going for FC.

No offence but i would rather take his word for it rather than yours.Clarky's predictions in recent years have not been far off,including yourselfs.

You mean like him predicting Catalans would win the comp last year? - Hello McFly...

Thank God the season will be underway for both Hull clubs so the FC fans can take their steps back into the painful reality.

Talk that FC will finish above Rovers is laughable and anyone who thinks FC will finish in the top-four need physiatric help.

- After FC's 1st game of the season against Warrington in 2008 I stated there was not a cat in hell's chance FC would reach the play-offs = I was proved correct.

- I stated before a ball was kicked last year that there was no chance what-so-ever of FC finishing in the play-offs = I was again proved correct.

- Now a handful of clueless pundits predict the same nonsense they have for the last two seasons...

Then we have the factually incorrect drivel that Rovers are "light-weight" when Rovers are a taller and heavier side than FC by a fair way though I'm not as sad as some folk to be bothered to work out the specifics.

Err maybe if you did then you'll realise I am 100% correct.

Rovers have 16 players 6ft 2in+ (8 of them 6ft 4in+) with the majority of them 16-17st.

Man for man, Rovers are a far taller and heavier side.

You got this info from where exactly as your club website disagrees with your stats, unless, of course, you are a thicko who cant work a centimetre to inch convertor!!!!!!!
Anyway, in answer to your complete b@llocks, 5 of your 6' 4" (sic) players are fringe players at best and the others include 3 backs in Cooke, Walker and Colborn, not quite so threatening when you its put like that now is it!!!!!

Why would they agree to it and pay him compensation as well? Makes no sense. Joel Clinton is on the verge of quitting Brisbane Broncos after sounding out the club about the prospect of an immediate release to play overseas. Brisbane chief executive Bruno Cullen confirmed the formal offshore interest on Saturday night. Clinton is off-contract at the end of 2010 but fears he is unwanted for 2011 after two indifferent years at the Broncos. The 27-year-old is Brisbane's highest-paid forward on $275,000 a season. Should the Broncos agree to a release, it would free-up room in the salary cap for the club to launch a major recruitment drive for 2011. Cullen said the club would consider releasing Clinton if they believed it was in the forward's best interests. "I've spoken to Joel's manager and he asked if Joel got a good deal going forward, would we consider letting him go," Cullen said. Signed on the recommendation of Broncos legend Shane Webcke for the 2008 season, Clinton has endured a tumultuous stint at Red Hill. In June, Clinton was fined $50,000 for breaching team rules by bringing a woman back to his hotel room and he played just 24 minutes in the Broncos' season-ending loss to Melbourne Storm. While Clinton's departure would give the Broncos clout on the open market, Cullen said the club would never try to force him out. "We'd be a bit light on for front-rowers (if Clinton left) but we've got no plan at all to sign a replacement. Joel is a nice fella and a really good bloke. If he's here next year so be it," Cullen said. "There are examples of us letting guys go for their benefit. "David Stagg was supposed to be a part of our plans for 2009 but then Canterbury came up with a better offer for him and we respected that." http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,865 ... 66,00.html In that case I apologise and he is getting payed to fish
