They’ll be miracle workers if they do! Good player for a third of every season. HKR short on cap room (and depth) now so a few injuries would leave them very limited on wiggle room!

A subject dear to my heart I've been a fan of single malts for many years and the variety of tastes and surprises is second to none. My favourite is the 18 y.o. Caol Ila Unchilfiltered an absolute belter. I finished off a bottle of Talisker 57* North recently that hit the spot. The Macallan never let me down and I forked out a few quid for a 21 y.o. which didn't last long! I get my special stuff online here - www.lfw.co.uk a great selection and amusing anecdotes about the flavours

I'll reserve how "nice" it is till the end of next season!

Knee jerk reaction and a bad move imo The lack of consistency has probably been the final nail, but I put that down to the players/captain etc more than the coach. 1st Mistake was taking the captaincy off Lynch and giving it to Ellis (probably an integral part of the Ellis deal). Ellis was missing at the start of the season and took long enough to get into the swing when he did return, without worrying about the responsibility of captaincy. The abject failure of Westerman (or Revolving Door as I liked to call him) for 90% of the season (although I believe played out of position to make best use of his talents). Holdsworth's headaches and injury to O'Meeley at a crucial time also didn't help. O'Meeley was having his best season for us since he arrived and certainly put the oomph into Hull's attack. So Gentle can feel hard done by and the new proposed coaching set up doesn't inspire me with any confidence at all

Cut the sentiment - if it was London or Les Catalans, everyone would be calling for them to be dropped out of Super League. It's a hard commercial environment for all at the moment and only the fittest (richest!) will survive. It wouldn't surprise me at all if illegal approaches are being made by Salford (Koukash) and let's face it probably the majority of agents sail tight to the wind! If there is undeniable evidence then the agent (if ones involved) should be banned from ever dealing with RL players again and the clubs should immediately get a season long transfer ban!

Hock & Tickle sounds like a weird sexual practice! -
A new-look TotalRL.com is on its way!
Roy Boy replied to John Drake's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Why the change? I liked the forum we had in the early 80's (black & white) - none of this coloured rubbish. Progress? Why fix something thats not broken? Moan moan moan, moan moan moan! -

I remember Myler - a good player - hardly a Roger the Dodger though! -

John's still undergoing therapy! -
What can you say? I always think if you really have it in for an opposition player, it's because you'd secretly like him in your team - well that's not maybe always true - but in Newton's case it was. So so sad - RIP Terry

Don't be daft - I'd like nothing better than to be in a hospital room with my wife watching her writhe and scream in agony for a few hours Sorry that should have been ex wife -
Never mind just saying it - what do you base your opinion on???? Don't be swayed by Morgan's constant appearances on Sky and every other form of media known to man - he isn't playing! Look at the players stats - engage noodle and tell us again that you think KR will win! Then again, I've just realised we've got bl**dy Agar at our helm! So it's the Dobbins by 50

Interesting - Dobson v Long ??? My money is on long (obviously!) I'm soooo excited I just hope the game isn't decided by Newton diving again trying to milk a penalty of Yeamen

Other supporters???? seems like your the main instigator! Small Town syndrome?? ha ha ha - you need to get over your club in decline syndrome! Bet you've got a photo of Stuart Cummins on your bedside table lmao

No your wrong there! Even when you lose to Wigan you carry on and get another go :-) Don't give up all hope just yet
