As for O'Meley, from what I'm hearing he's not exactly buying into Agar's philosophy in terms of a "change of culture".
FC have made a few "paper over the cracks" type signings and it's laughable that folk are buying into the Rule spin because it will all end in tears again and I very much doubt they'll even make the play-offs - just like the last two seasons...
Don't knock it. 7,500 passes sold and 6,500 shirts before Christmas, a fully stocked shop with great merchandise and customer service during the year's key trading period. Excellent work.
I find it interesting you assume Fitzgibbon's character is so weak that he will accept just turning up and taking his money. You either don't believe any of the extended eulogies about him as a player, person and leader that met his departure from Australia, or think he will do a 180 in terms of attitude. Let's see. O'Meley I think will go OK for us. You seem to hear a lot of things. Has the international coming over with Clinton signed yet?
I see you chose not to comment on the Cooke question. We both agree he has great ability. Most Rovers fans think he is not optimised at Rovers and has more to give than Morgan will allow. Either way, why are Rovers trying to tout him round to other clubs?

Come off it. Anyone with a brain realises that the reason Crocker was not allowed into the country was an utter joke. What has Clinton done to warrant this nervousness?
Also, according to many of the numbnuts on here, Crocker not coming was down to Fc and rovers were subsequently nailed on to sign him up.
You would surely have announced the signing by now?

When is Clinton coming then? Surely it would have official announcement by now?
We'll just wait and see what the outcome is, Hull Kingston Rovers have made no public announcement on weather he has signed or not, that is left to some tabloids and a few fans from across the river to speculate on, i would have thought hull fans of all people would know the reason why, possibly not to get our hopes to high then be let down and made to look fools with headlines like this followed by this
But don't worry yourself about it, we'll let you know if we hear anything

we all know on here your a saddo, but if pass sales and a stocked shop is all you have to brag about, well, it speaks volumes. i can live with a poop shop, we had to live with a poop team for years, you never caught me bangin on about how good the roast beef was in the resteraunt to take away on the field performances. crawl back under your rock until you win another league derby. (take plenty of supplies though, you may be there a while).

Did FC look as though they wanted to Crush Wigan and strangle them until they screamed ?

Hang on. Zoddy was talking about the number of Hull fans that believed Rule's spin and I was agreeing with him that record numbers are supporting the club the only way we can right now (ie putting money through the ticket office and shop tills) and the club are enabling us to do so very effectively. You are quite correct, the probability of Hull winning a derby this season, with the context of the last 2 seasons is tiny. Signing the morally bankrupt Fitzgibbon, party animal O'Meley and a partially-sighted geriatric scrum-half means we have gone backwards so can only realistically be expecting to finish 14th and suffer record derby defeats.

Rovers havent ever said theyve signed Clinton, only that there interested in signing him, and if your so eager for an announcment try to imagine what us Rovers fans feel like
