Decent summary here from Smailes, positive, but not entirely North Pole. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/New-atta ... story.html

I like him. Salt and pepper hair and a bit grizzly because I suspect he doesn't really like rugby league.

Uncertain. Wonder is Chester is still "purring with pleasure" or whatever it was.

This is what I mean about him coming to grips with the new format.He thinks Rovers can make the top 8 and then says
"New additions Tyrone McCarthy, Greg Burke and James Donaldson provide the quality needed to contest a top-eight finish. If KR keep the nucleus of the pack fit, a play-off spot could be achieved"
Didnt anyone tell him that only the top 4 will play off this season.

I've not paid much attention to it, but don't the top 8 play 7 games after the first 23 fixtures to determine the top four?

Re: Mediawatch : Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:04 pm  

The top 8 keep the points they accumulated over the season and yes they play 7 more games. Anyone who really thinks that Rovers are going to get in the top 4 needs to seek psychiatric help
