Whichever way you dress it up, there is a well establish word which best describes such activity within many walks of life.

PARASITE - An animal or plant that lives on or in another animal or plant of a different type and feeds from it.


How FC can claim they are a conveyor belt of young players is beyond me, correct me if i'm wrong but wont they be have a full quota of o/seas or non fed players next year including a starting pack that wont contain any uk born players.

They may produce young players but how many go on to produce there potential in a Hull shirt the majority of these players seem to have to leave to give their careers a kick start.

The Briscoes and Houghton may be ones to come through (and for england purposes I hope they do) but if the past is anything to go by hey'll just and up vilified by there own crowd and shipped off like the Tommy Lees and Graham Hornes of this world.

Exactly my point !!!!! :lol: That's where the second tier of life forms come in and feed. PARASITES !!!!

THANK YOU Mr. PEARSON, FOR RIDDING US OF FCKWIT FUBAR, CEO TOOL AND THE STINKING UNCLE KATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY DON'T THE DOBBINS PLAY IN GREEN SHIRT, GREEN SHORTS AND GREEN SOCKS IN ORDER TO EXPRESS THEIR INFINITE ENVY OF EVERYTHING BLACK AND WHITE??

Didn't particularly mean you in all honesty even though thats how it sounded.

TBF Rovers have done pretty well out of Leeds since getting into SL (Murrell,Walker,Netherton) and so did Hull when they were trying to establish themselves in SL (Dowes,Raynor,Carvell). Ratu has a decent pedigree and will get the chance to establish himself as a SL player, a chance he may well not have got at Leeds.






Motto of the week -

It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.

Hull haven't been averse to signing players from Leeds either on permanent contracts or as ashort term fixwhen their own junior players are not deemed by the coaching staff to be good enough at the time.

Leeds and wigan have an enviable record of producing young players , which other clubs must try to aspire to.
With the numbers concerned it is of course the way , that some players will seek new clubs to further their careers and prospects.






I like toast as much as anyone , but not for breakfast , dinner and tea.

You shouldn't worry your little head so much Willa.


There's a big difference between reserves and SL. Hodgson got our reserves player of the year but wasn't good enough to take the place of someone we released for not being good enough (Lee)

The same Hull FC that let Shaun Briscoe go in favour of keeping Motu Tony. Let's be honest, you don't have a good track record when it comes to that sort of thing!

I can't believe we're being criticised for signing young british players! :lol:

I can.

They've had the pick of the city for a decade. We've had a share for 3 years in theory, arguably only two in practice. Where is our Tommy Lee or Paul King?

Parasites. :lol: I hope your carrion makes you fart Thunderously. :wink:

Slowly sucking the life blood out of the host, the host becomes weaker and eventually fades and dies...

ok I'll go with that..

Seriously tho', your clubs inability to take players (or hang onto them) from potential to proven article is hardly the fault of other clubs.
