He does this for affect. Just ignore. |

| Quote knockersbumpMKII="knockersbumpMKII"Motu had some good games at FB but just not enough and frankly there were times as the regular FB he was very very shaky and cost us many tries, Hall was played there as cover when he was what 21 without ever(?) playing a senior game there before, hence why I thought it was unfair to include him. Byrne's level never dropped to that of which I saw of MT too many times, he very solid if not unspectacular, he was also mostly a winger, however THAT tackle he pulled off, if you've watched more than a few games and highlights you'll know which one I'm referring to, takes him well out of contention for worst FB.
Fonua was exceptional for half a season, Crooks as a rookie (along with 4 other rookies that were in the first 17 that year) was on fire from the get-go and offered us more than Fonua as an overall package (pace, passing, timing/link up play with Lineham that was unerring and even kicking) There's no doubt MF has bags of talent, power and loves his rugby and I like him as a player, he certainly sparked a lot of what we did this season at centre. That Crooks fell away for whatever reason in 2014 shouldn't dent what he did previously which for a rookie was oustanding and we've lacked that classy centre play since and even beforehand. I did consider Martin as it happens but he wasn't the Martin of old when he played for us.
And for someone who is having a pop at another fan for how many actual games they attend which is rather tired and a bit pathetic (I suppose you travel 310 miles for a home game right?) you clearly can't have watched us much when Matty Head did play because he was absolute class.'"
Roses tinted to say the least. Crooks made his debut in 2012. Therefore his better season for Hull (2013) was not his rookie (dreadful americanism btw) season. You are misunderstanding what essentially was 3 very good displays (Wire away, Leeds at home and Wigan at home) in side surrounded by some fairly average players. As mentioned, not good enough to lace Fonua's boots.
Adam Dykes was better then Matt Head. |

I only watch the odd games and highlights now so does that put me in his bracket.I don't agree with all his choices but its good to see someone not going with Fitzgibbon just because of his name. |

But you don't comment on every post, pretending to to know everything about rugby and the come out with over the top statements and nonsense. |

All about personal choices, that's what forums are for and putting forward why, and yet Dave K immediately sought to just wade in and have a pop and focus on how many games I go to as the yardarm with respect to having a valid voice.
And yes, Dykes is/was better than Sneyd too but both he and Head just didn't play many games.
As I said, I respect was MF did for us last season but my points still stand with respect to Crooks, not fit to lace his boots is just silly. Crooks was far and away the best centre in SL that year.
people getting far too hot under the coller over other people's choices/viewpoints and having a go at posters is just dumb and what puts many off from even bothering. |

Here you go again, accusing other posters of something which you do on a regular basis. |

To be honest, he doesnt reply to every post. He posts things for dramatic effect, which he has already admitted to, and several posters jump on it like its a competition who can insult him first.
A bit silly really, as thats exactly what he wants. If, like myself, you dont like what he posts, dont read it. I dont bother blocking people, i just look at the posters name and realise that the post will contain a load of rhubarb, and just scroll on.
What I do find rather irksome, is the several replies to the troll post, often from users, like yourself, whose posts are often fair and reasonable.
If everyone left him alone, he would dissapear. The responses to his posts are like a family and friends to him. He is obviously lacking something in the real world to resort to coming on a message board where all he gets is abuse.
Catholic School upbringing perhaps? |
