And what does that make you then? The fact is the balance of power has not shifted at all.For as bad as things have been over the last few weeks,it's still a far better situation that what's at Caravan Park. You still support an inferior rugby team in an inferior stadium. You're still in a league that most super league supporters don't take an interest in. They regard the team who comes up as 4 or 6pts a season.I only take a look at your results to see if you've lost.You're not in superleague end of! You've no guarantees of getting there this season, even though, this is probably the best team you've had for achieving it.

If franchising does come in as is expected before you've achieved promotion. you're definitely up the creek without a paddle. And the theory most likely, if franchising does come in and you have been promoted beforehand, is you will be discarded then.

The only superleague team in crisis at the moment is Wigan, who have serious problems.

The simple fact is you're still in the little leagues looking up enviously at the big boys. Jog on

Thanks for that World of Rentboy

I'd have been more concerned if we'd stuck with kear,i think they did the right thing and was one of the first to say so.What difference losing away to bradford narrowly in the challenge cup makes to your arguement i don't know.

As for the buy out,you could look at it 2 ways,if someone came in to buy rovers you'd claim it was because the investor had recognised the potential to develop the club and take it to the top,but because it's Hull everyones jumping ship.Have you read the article in tonights paper regarding the shareholders acting as gaurantors for a £500,000 mortgage to build our ambitious training complex?hardly the actions of a sinking ship.

You ridicule mcnamara without having any knowledge of his coaching abilities,i'll bet he knows more about the game than you could ever dream of knowing,so what makes you qualified to assess and mock his credentials?Did he not turn rovers down when they approached him?

as for rovers being on the up,come back in 6 months when you've got something to back your claims up with,it's just the annual hot air that comes from craven park and usually ends in a flood of tears.

What a stupid thread. The gulf between the clubs is so enormous that a slight shift either way doesn't mean a damn thing. Maybe when you get in super league it might be worth discussing.

thats why ive bumped this thread
not so stupid now is it.
