You're right bundle of laughs aren't you!!!!
So you seriously think that we'd be better without Dobson?
You've also got insider knowledge into Clintons wages, which is good and he's getting an extra £100,000 a year, so working on that he must have come in on £100+ you're saying he'll be on £200+ a year next year. If you believe that you are away with the fairies.
Justin Morgan is an amatuer coach? The same one that got us to a challenge cup semi as an NL1 club, then got us promited, then against all odds kept us i SL, managed a 7th place finish the year after that and got us up to 4th the year after.... oh and we're having a mediocre one this year therefore he's crap.... So rather than slag off what we have and using your massive rugby knowledge who do you think we should have as chairman, coach, and half backs?

That's not what he's saying at all. Do you have the memory span of a goldfish? There was much talk in the press (local and national) of Rovers having salary cap problems bringing Clinton in, consequently he didn't play the first few rounds. There was also much talk of his contract being loaded financially to years 2 and 3 to fit him in this year. So Larry could be implying, for example, that Clinton is on £30k this year and £130k next year. He was the highest paid forward at Brisbane, he won't be coming for peanuts.

Nope not the memory span of a goldfish, I remember Clinton was on a reported £125k in the NRL, now I would assume he hasn't took a years pay drop of £95K with the promise of a contract or £130k this year. If he has had it back loaded as reported I would be shocked if it was anything like £100k as that would mean we are either paying him peanuts this year or Matt Orford money next, I would think neither are true.

This "Much talk" you speak of was mainly on here, and mainly from Hull fans such as yourself. I'm sure you will have links to the vault full of facts to verify all the above?
The only fact is the salary he was on at the Broncos, a salary that had 1 year only left to run.

I'm about to reply and I really don't know why, but here goes:
On second thoughts, you really ain't worth the 3 calories I would have to expend to type anything coherent. You are just an oxygen thief.

It's ok by the third year of his contract i'm sure he'll be earning £1.65m

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.
I am of course referring to the back loading as Mrs B has garnered....
Anybody really, really think Big Joel is worth an internationals , world class players wages...??? Good player he is, but yet another blot on our salary cap situation i am afraid...JM has clearly not mastered this most important of modern day skills...
With regards the ins....you can add a hooker and a centre....Owen is dependent on his recovery..he may well be asked to spend a further season at Cas to prove he is " as was "

So you think Cas will offer him a one year deal which he will sign, to stay at Cas to prove he is good enough to sign for Rovers the following season.
