I remember powell and Mr Hughes alluding to this at the Fans forum. The new fitness coach could be the best signing of all this coming season.

Yes but youre signing more foreigners not less! I'm the first to admit our faults as a club, you should grow up and do the same. Not just spout some rubbish about us getting handouts. Did you're dad tell you that?

Would love us to have a good cup run. Big days out for us as a club have been too few and far between.

300 posts and so knowledgeable already

dads dead so no maybe the handout comment was a bit easy fair dos but im sick of fans going on about aussies yes weve maybe got more than we should and i would be worried if we didnt have youngsters coming through but we do our neighbours were the only club not to give debut to a player last season and nobody says a word

just because youve posted 12.000 times it doesnt make you anymore knowledgeable than me it just says maybe you should get out more

Fair point, but neither does it make me a troll.



If you were to research the origins of the HKA name and connect them with a certain poster on your forum (roofs) who was himself known to stir the waters with anti-london comments (purely tongue in cheek, as were my HKA statements) you'd see it was just all good fun and not a troll in sight, although a few of the less intelligent East Hullians did seem to get slightly miffed by being referred to as HKA........





Other misinformed souls who would refer to me as a troll would be the criminal element on the NRL board, who can't understand the concept of being a fan of many sports. Neither can they deal with being told that the NRL isn't No1, is in need of major changes (14 teams reported losses for the last 2 years) and makes major errors of judgement. The also don't like the pi55 poor crowds at teams like the panthers being mentioned....and therefore, roll out the troll moniker. Even worse, in their case, because I played Union, I am a Union Troll.....oh the pain I feel every time that is rolled out.........I thank the Lord my Grandad isn't around to feel the shame.....





There are very few trolls left on these forums....the likes of Bazza, as annoying as they could be, are sorely missed in the off-season.

Darthchris has evolved into a very low standard troll. I can only assume jaybs is a troll too.

first of all im not anti london far from it i just found it a bit rich coming from a london fan the HKA thing and yes ive seen you stirring it on the NRL board

Rich? It was pure comic genius, even if I say so myself





As for stirring it on the NRL board? If my responding to idiots claiming that Union is a dead sport globally and RL will take over in New Zealand once the new gazzillion dollar TV deal is in place is stirring it, then I am guilty as charged.....seriously, the NRL board is a cemetary where 1 poster adds a daily link to a story on the SMH and expects everyone to take it as gospel...





As a holder of an Irish passport, I have a duty to support ABE, but my growing disdain for everything Australian is purely down to freedom of choice. I actually enjoy it when England beat them at Cricket.....and I dislike Cricket nearly as much as England

and this is solely down to their denial that RL is anything other than hobby along an English Motorway and in 2 states of a prison colony........oh, lest I forget.....it's big in PNG too...a country that most others recommend you don't visit unless being raped is on your bucket list!



...so yes, if stating the facts rather than the dreamworld imaginations of a few convict keyboard warriors is stirring it, then I deserve a raise!



BTW. Read the 2 quotes in my sig....they should give you an idea of the crap being dealt out over on the NRL boards.......denial as to the origins of the high kick'n'chase and pure racist abuse.

i think it was NRL V ARL argument totally pointless in my opinion people going on about crowds and tv figures there was about 15 pages on it when i stopped reading
