Good signing, we need to look forward and we have signed some experienced players to help the young ones progress.



Well done Hull Fc for going out and getting it done early.

Apologies if already posted. Would have stayed in Sydney but offer was too good from Hull and Roosters couldn't compete www.smh.com.au/news/lhqnews/tans ... 17560.html

Didn't he also play no.6 in the U21 final at the KC the other year?

Initially the game 'football' was a game played with both hands or feet using an inflated pigs bladder. You scored by getting it into the goals at the end, and the game only finished when this had happened. There were some rules, but generally it was no-hold-barred, so it could be quite violent.

In the coming years, it was phased out of the public playing it and became a game primarily being played in schools. Over time each school developed their own rules, and the first rules of Rugby came from Rugby school. Then from then on you know how it progressed, up until the Northern Rugby Union (league) was created. IIRC.

Incorrect.

OKay. I'm trying to remember what I haven't thought of in years.

There's evidence that ball games were linked to fertility and were played in early China, but there isn't any real hard evidence where modern day football came from. Equally Rugby is as likely to have evolved from the Hacksey Hood as anything else.



anyway. Tansey.....

I don't know what ball games they played, but that's like saying 'So-and-so was playing tennis years ago, so obviously they created all ball games'.



Anyway, Tansey.

You never struck me as being that old?

Haha.

Nah, I meant remembering from when I was little and looked up the origins of football (I was football mad back then, it was pretty much all I did in my spare time).

there was a TV series on book that changed the world, One of them was the association football book of rules.

That made a common set of rules so that teams didn't play a game of two halves where there were different rules for each half.

No and I've made this point quite a few times over the years. We never tend to make public who we are in negotiation with until it's a done deal. Jason Smith, Richard Swain, Shaun Berrigan, Michael Crocker

are just a few examples.



My sister lives in Brisbane and is a Roosters fan (don't ask me why, I have no idea) has nothing but praise for Jordan Tansey.
