“LOL at Eddy.
Clinton, Watts and Webster Rovers best players.
Quite evident you have not seen any of them actually play.
Funny how you were calling him Liam 'Hic Hic' Watts last year and saying Clinton was lazy and Webster always injured.
You really are an idiot aren't you?”

“John.
For once I agree with you. Houghton should be captain of Hull but we all know who is going to muscle in on the big wages and be handed the captain's armband.”

“we have some excellent hookers in super league and Danny is up there with the very best, this is a great achievement for him, but hopefully only the start, if he continues to play the way he has for the last few years, he will get a place in the full England squad and the captaincy at Hull.”
