Correct it is. Providing the tax payers of Hull get paid back for it, so much the better.

The tax payers of Hull haven't paid for anything. The local council has guaranteed the loan so the tax payer will foot the bill only if Hull KR don't pay.

Being thrown out of the cup for the offence, would have been way OTT, in my opinion.

For fielding a player you had no right to or were even allowed to play? Really?
I would think only an FC would see it that way which kinda proves my point.

Rather puts a £5,000 fine and 2 point deduction for having an extra player on the park for 40 seconds into perspective!

Mason. Deregistering Dobson. Complete and utter poke in the eye to the rest of superleague.

Funny how you can all remember 1980, but choose to forget other things.

Was there in 1980. Great day Didn't realised I'd mentioned it tbh

Terrible thing we did with Mason, staying within the rules like that. Unforgivable.

Just out of interest how do you think that compares with being given an exception to the quota so you could sign all of Gatesheads overseas players?

There's no wonder Hull gets a bad name.

What really grates on me is the fact Hull KR cry they dont have any money blah blah blah yet go and sign top Aussie players on big money.

Weyman, Costigan and apparantly theyre close to signing Trent Hodgkinson from Canterbury

Re: 2013 Player Movements : Thu Jul 25, 2013 10:49 pm  

We don't say we have no money. The club says it relies on private investors to put their hands on their pockets to ensure we can pay up near full salary cap. Big difference.
We don't have enough cash to pay full salary cap AND spend massive amounts on academies. It's the clubs decision which we do and generally they've done ok in the years since joining SL in building a squad the reaches the playoffs and after all winning games is what the customers want.
