Well, that's not what you said originally, hence why Raggytash responded.



Either way, there's a set number of Non-Fed/Quota players a club can have, and neither Hull or Rovers will be going over it, so who cares.

silly billy cares hes spoilt another topic then other dullers join in you also seem bothered by the amount of overseas players you have in your team or you wouldn't interfere in this topic would you billysmart in disguise

Exactly.



As for double-barrelled names, they haven't been the preserve of the semi-posh for a while, as far as I can tell. Quite a few knocking round SL on mostly working class young men.

Not really bothered by having 7 overseas players at Hull (it's actually one less than last year). What happened is that you got corrected after saying something that wasn't correct, that's all.



Generally, I think the number of 7 overseas players should be lower and brought back down to 5 for all clubs, but that's one for the VT really.





As for Hull fans "interfering", it was you that brought up Hull FC's overseas contingent. Had you not done so (or at least been correct about it) you wouldn't have got the responses you have done.

I feel the urge to expand this point, MR. Double-barrelled names were almost entirely the preserve of the totally ra-posh when I was growing up. As an educated fellow, I am sure you remember the John Betjeman poem about Joan Hunter Dunn!



Somehow and inevitably perhaps over the subsequent generations, the double-barrelled surname has been hijacked by socially disenfranchised ethnic minorities, by the broken marriage brigade, by aspirational feminist wannabes with no taste and most worryingly by the sink estate chavs.



It's a bit like the Burberry tartan. You know it's value is undermined when you see similar on market stalls everywhere.



Anyway, I can name Jones-Buchanan, Jones-Bishop, Caton-Brown, Murdoch-Masila, McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Lateagain-Kelly. Beyond that I'm struggling. Can you think of anymore?

Eddison Pratt-Riddlesden. That actually happened. Think he had pineapple hair.

Poor old Jason Lee. The original pineapple.

They destroyed him on fantasy football also they had a segment on the poshest named footballer who was Forbes Phillipson Masters who it turned out wasn't posh at all

I can't off the top of my head.



However, I think JBF may represent a hyphenated first for Hull Kingston-Rovers. Unless we count Tangata-Toa.

Kiwi's seem to like a double-barreller:



Kenny-Dowall

Tuivasa-Sheck

Waerea-Hargreaves

Watene-Zelezniak

Fisher-Harris

I think double-barrelled surnames with or without hyphens seem to be quite common in NZ culture, especially amongst the indigenous. Spain, Portugal and Brazil too.

Robbie Hunter-Paul.
