On the makeup of the Summer Bash, I've never really understood why the RFL think that putting by far the two supported clubs in one match is a good idea.

How many of the people who are going to support the Bulls are doing so because we are playing HKR? Very few, I'd wager. Most are going because it's a weekend away, plenty of time for a drink, food and fun, with rugby matches thrown in. Same with the 3500 who have allegedly bought tickets from Hull - surely they are going for the weekend in Blackpool and the craic.

If they'd gone for 1v2, 3v4, and so on, I seriously doubt that the crowd would have been diminished in any way whatsoever. Then they could have had Hull KR vs London as highly competitive match to round out day 1, and then Bulls vs Halifax as a spicy local derby to round out day 2.

As it is, by the time we get to the final game of Day 2 there'll probably be about 500 people in the ground...

Not going either.

I don't like Blackpool anyway, to be honest, and a day spent wandering around there followed by us being thumped by KR is something I feel I can easily miss and I would do even if the event were free. Having to pay for it is just beyond where my mind is at, at present.

I'd sooner poop in mi hands and clap than watch, even on telly....fox hunting, RFL style. Not for me.

Re: Hull KR - Summer Bashed : Mon May 22, 2017 6:56 pm  

I'm not going, I may go Sunday for the Sheffied game

I wonder how many Bulls fans, after an afternoon on the lash, will just stay in the pub and watch it on Sky. I think that would probably get my vote even if I'd bought a ticket

Re: Hull KR - Summer Bashed : Mon May 22, 2017 7:46 pm  

I'm going. To be honest we're going for the beer and the trip away with the lads, we're going to get hammered, we know we are......but the rugby might just sober us up.

An ex-Bull Lewis Charnock now playing for Barrow is apparently on Hull KR's radar - does anyone have anyone information on the player ie would he be a good signing. Rovers are also intereested in Joe Bullock (Barrow)

Re: Hull KR - Summer Bashed : Mon May 22, 2017 9:44 pm  

No thanks. I've never seen how these daft fixtures fit into a regular league format and this year is grossly unfair on our club even before we imploded. In any case Hull KR must be odds on to take us to the cleaners again.

Feel sorry for anyone going to watch that!

We only had him on loan at the back end of last season from Saints. To be honest, I liked him. The sort of hard working little half back that whilst not spectacular, he puts full effort in and has enough skill to play the position without looking out of place. Sort of player I think we could really do with now to be honest, a right little tough nut. Not convinced he'd improve Rovers' squad that much though with the likes of Abdull, Ellis, Dockar-Clay & Lunt already there.
