I have not at all stated that Hull fans should be hacked off or feel short changed because Berrigan and Tansey are no longer in your squad.
As you appear to have become of such little intellect I'll explain (once again as you appear to be so hard of understanding) in bullet points. Please note, just for you, I would attach this as a spread sheet if RLFans had this facility.
a) A Hull fan buy their pass in (for arguments sake) October.
b) Berrigan, an enjoyable player to watch leaves for completely reasonable reasons, and the correct reasons for both Hull and Berrigan.
c) Tansey is sacked, quite correctly by the board of the Hull club.
d) If I were a Hull fan I would be disappointed that these two entertaining players had left the Hull club, but fully understanding of the reasons. I do not feel short changed by the board, I just feel it is a shame that because of reasons beyond the control of the Hull clubs board I will not have the privilege of watching these two players in black and white this year.
To clarify further. I am first and foremost a supporter of Hull Kingston Rover Rugby League Football Club. However, over the last few seasons, although I have been disappointed to see some teams rip us a new one, I have felt an enormous amount of respect and felt lucky to have seen some of the Worlds top players do this to us. I want to see the best players that the game has to offer and although Tansey does not fall into this category, I think it is a shame for the game as a whole that he will not be representing your club this season.
Pick that apart, I cannot believe that anyone with a modicum of intelligence could take my views on this whole sorry matter in any other way than they were originally intended.
You saying I'm thick innit? Look, this is the second time we've fallen out. Let's not allow Tansey to win. I'm happy to break up with you over Benji Marshall or Sam Tomkins, or David Shillington because of his lovely autograph placement strategy, but not Tansey. I apologise for misconstruing your points and believe now that you meant it in an almost pitying way, such is FC's lack of depth now. I think that makes it worse, actually.
Got to agree with pmh, it's a real shame for the kid. Undoubtedly he left the FC board with little choice,(I actually think they have been rather brave give the depth of their squad at present), such a waste of RL talent.

I actually think it's pretty poor taking the p1ss out of a talented young man who has obviously got problems and just lost his job.
There's no winners here, Tansey has possibly just ruined his career, (and let me state, I sincerely hope he gets his life and job back on track) Hull and TGG has just lost an exciting player who if he'd managed to behave as a professional sports person may have gone onto rep honours, and the fans who pay there money are left watching a weaker team. Many of those fans will have bought their season passes before both Berrigan and Tansey left/were shown the door. I know how I'd feel if Dobson and Galea, for example left in the run up to the seasons start.
the only reason you lot have sold so many passes is the fact that all the smackheads are going under the modernised stand to get their methodone and the single mothers are using milk tokens to pay for a pass 10000 everygame

Is it? I don't recall the first. It's my Latin temperament, I shout, scream, f and Geoff, after that I'm done. One of my weaknesses is that I forget that others don't do the same and have quote-a-base arsenals.

Please note, I don't highlight things in red, I am not a teacher, neither am I the arbiter of what should or should not be said on these boards.
That is possibly the worst apology ever recorded (and I include Cain and Abel) I had no agenda, neither hidden or otherwise, and still, you appear to seem that I have one.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Aye, that'll be it megadunce.
Do you turn into Uberdunce at midnight?
No, I reckon it'll happen once you've scampered home from Young Offenders day release.

I can't remember what the falling out was about. The cereal box/chair art thing was just an artistic difference of opinion, yours just being "emperors new clothes"-esque and mine being just plain sensible. I'm sure there was something else, but I'm of that age now where I can't really remember.

As an FC fan I am disappointed Berrigan and Tansey are gone, however its a long season and it evident by reports in the UK and Aussie press that Hull FC are looking at bringing in more players. Its disappointing none will be here for the weekend however I am glad they have not made any panic signings and are waiting for the right players to come along. I don't feel ripped off at all, lets see at the end of the season what the team is, it could be a masterstroke getting rid of Tansey and Berrigan.
Obviously on pre season form Rovers look favourites for Sunday but we will still have a decent 17 available with plenty of superleague experience and our pack looks strong. After a slow start at Cas we played some good stuff and won against their first choice team.

As a Rovers fan, I agree, two players that would have lit up the league.

And, again, as Rovers fan I agree that this is the right thing for your club to do. You have cash inthe bank and space on the cap.

And you shouldn't, no one has said you should ffs (and this isn't aimed at you steve_norton) this has all come about from La Café doing a bit of stirring in regards to my post which was actually supportive of every aspect of your club in regards to this matter.
Honestly, I'm going back to just posting utter bollox. It was much easier.

It's not just your post mate. It seems she is just looking for a row over this subject and I have no idea why.
