Rovers have come out and explained the situation. We've 29 players unavailable across the club. You mention academy players able to step up..... That's what they've been doing the past 6 weeks. Look at the squad. Who do you think Fishwick, Barley, Dawson are, They're 17 year old academy players.

The academy side that played yourselves on Saturday and drew was pretty much made up of first year academy players aged 16. Of those that are fit, If they were ready to face men then the club would throw them in.

Registrations are closed otherwise they'd bring players in. Even Mcguire stated if they could both him and Delaney would don a shirt.

What doesn't fit the narrative for you all on here is that Hull KR actually have an injury crisis and only have 16 players.

Just because he says it doesn't mean it's true, I think hevis dong it to prove a point to the RFL, with regard suspensions and double weekends. Also alot of academy players got a huge bonus they make their debut (hookem got 15k for Hull for debutong) so it may be a cost thing.

Also read they have 4/5 players out of loan.

Name an academy player, put them on the bench and just don't play them then. At least you would be lining up with 17 players.
It's laughable that a full time professional club is claiming they can't find 17 players in the entirety of their club.
And simply saying "we have 29 players unavailable" doesn't explain the situation at all.
How many are first team? How many reserves? How many are academy? How many players are actually fit to play (whether they're 16 or not)? Why have you not recalled loan players when you have the world's worst injury crisis all year?
Absolute cop out by the club.

Three?? You're only picking THREE academy kids whilst in our injury crisis we've seleced SEVEN to make up the numbers? This is clearly about forcing a narrative and nothing at all to do with the protection of younger players.

Hull KR reporter claiming it could be financial reasons, can't be true they have loafs of money and a squad no where near the cap?

Re: The end is nigh (Rovers at home) : Thu Sep 01, 2022 12:09 pm  

Dobbins fans will believe anything their club says. The whole thing sums up how that club operates. How many debuts have they handed out this season compared to us?
I can hear the worlds smallest violin playing when I hear them moaning.

Hope we just focus and do what needs to be done .

I mentioned that earlier. Wouldn’t surprise if they don’t want to pay out for someone else.

And there was me thinking Craven “Streat” was going to catapult them into the upper echelons of world rugby.

After 31st July any player on loan at Championship and League 1 clubs can't be recalled. The date for players on loan at SL clubs is the 24th July.

Rovers recalled Rusling from his loan expecting him to play on Monday to be then told by the RFL that he isn't eligible to actually play due to the loan cut off rules.

As for debuts I think we are at seven. You also say about us moaning but it's not actually Rovers fans doing the moaning here. Hull fans seem more bothered that we can't field a full 17 then we are.

Definitely a money thing, despite being skint, we have paid players off, brought in loam players and given debuts to to a host of young players.

That's because you're on a Hull FC forum....

Got to laugh at the excuse of International call ups

One young player called up to play for Ireland U19’s and suddenly they are unable to name a team
