Mariano, Spaven, Esders and Watts - how many first team games gave they had between them this year?

Fozzard will have retired by 2011 and Walker,Cooke and Mills will be released at the end of 2010 if not before.

FC have a full British team (except Cusack) in their 17 tonight, as opposed to claiming one on paper.

We were told in by you in 2007 that it would affect us for the 2008 season.

I know with your pathetic club and pathetic team, you have to clutch at every straw available, but it's time to wake up and smell the coffee - we have some excellent youngsters coming through the ranks (much better than the kebab eaters in your academy). Added to the fact we are only one youngster off the target anyway.

Like I say, wake up and smell the coffee...

Anyone for another derby victory

Agree.

We could field a team full of British players and still beat that shower of poop that got beat by Wire tonight.

Mrs Barista lives in dreamland...

You are such a confused person

One minute you talk of players not having a game this season, NEWS FLASH not all squad players have to play, Don't need to as we have a trainer who knows how to keep a team on the park then talk of aging players I don't remember ever saying this will be our squad for 2020

And how do you know who's to be released, for christ sake you don't even know who's coming or going at your own club, it must be embarrasing for FC fans reading your disjointed posts

Thorman classes himself a 7, your point is?

Or how about all other clubs tell the Aussies to feck off back and let the RFL grown some balls and create a league where only 1 overseas player is allowed?

That way every Super League side will have teams like the one Hull put out or the one Phil Webbo listed above and the English kids will finally get a chance instead of having to play second fiddle to players who cannot get a game in their homeland.

The quicker the RFL do that the better. There are kids coming through and playing in the Championship and Service area level who with the right coaching can become as good as Joe Westerman, Rob Burrow, Scott Murrell etc, but overseas players are keeping them out.

And he plays at 7, I think you ought to have thought through your reply

I find that a stretch of the imagination. I also think BC & CI would be classed by JM rather than themselves.

The reason Ben Cockayne has been played elsewhere is because he is not good enough to oust Shaun Briscoe.

The reason Chaz I'Anson is not playing is because he is not good enough to oust Paul Cooke. He is not a 7. You do realise that not many 5/8's can play effectively over a period of time at 7 dont you?

Ben Cockayne has played full back for every club he has ever played for, including 2 full seasons for Hull KR.

It does not matter how you dress it up, that is his position, he may have tried to adapt his game, some would say pretty well, but is he really a Hooker?

You have used that to suit your argument that Rovers could field an English side worthy of SL.

I'Anson is a different argument altogether
