Ignore is the sensible option. It breaks down though when posters not on ignore quote several; previous posts.

People just need to chill. I have met several members of the forum in real life and they were all normal and hospitable, even to me!!

So what did Ryan Hampshire make of all this bickering? He started it!

Anyway, someone asked "which rule changes?". I think there was a presumption we would be going ahead with fewer interchanges in 2016 but it looks like we will stick with 10 until at least the year after.

I can't really understand why Hampshire is so loved as an unproven senior half back personally. He could be every bit as good a full back as a half back at this level, where you get less time and space to reach your support speed and when you do you need to run around bigger and better players and run away from faster ones than you do at u19s. Given the choice of him or Williams as a player I think will be best in 5 years I'd say Williams. I'm not having a go at him, I just think we presume he'll be best note as a kid in the grown ups team where he was best as a kid in the kids team. As long as he's still at the club then we'll hopefully see him progress, but I can't help but think it's not yet his time.

Not keen on bullies of which you really come across as with your pointed little winky barbs.
Now I don't expect you to understand that given your aforementioned demeanor.
You might have signed a few autographs but does it give you the means to put your head up your back passage?

Put me on IGNORE simple!!

And take the easy option? How about you do the same?
I am nobodies mummy and I stand by what I said, if other people can't see it then that's as it is!!
To force somebody by whatever means, to stop posting, whether they are man enough or not is bullying in my book.

Are you still here WW......? :slee:

'To force somebody by whatever means, to stop posting!'

I don't need to put anyone on ignore, I can handle any poster and any discussion, clearly you can't!!

You are more bothered than sc, least he just did one!!

For myself and from what I read one or two others seem to think the same, it is the fact he has not been given the chance to show whether he is good enough or not. Again personally I think this is down to the lack of a second tier structure. At the last level he played in he was ripping it up in partnership with George, however George has been given the chance at senior level in Rocky's position and Sam Powell is the preferred option should George not be available. IMO Waney has missed a trick by not giving Rocky a chance to shine. It may be that he'll prove his worth if there is a second tier next season and his time will come.

WW must be confusing to some at times!

In my case, call me 'Whelley'

You could replace your comments Mark with Tim Smith and Sam Tomkins. Doing the opposite of what you suggest then was right then as it is more than likely right now. How about, Rocky and George are given 6 games together as half backs next season? Unless you give them the opportunity you will never know.

Sad to say this but the Saints half back pair were amazing last Friday working together as a proper half back combination.
