At least the majority of our fanbase were alive for ours.

Thanks for proving my point.

Classic Keefy. Come on here to, as usual, have a sly dig and when home truths are fired back at you, it’s all out warfare on AP, JC and the whole of FC, oh and deluded fans. I’ve been an acquaintance with quite a few Rovers “fans” over the years. What starts out as a reasonable discussion about rugby, inevitably, turns into a derisory comment on FC. I just don’t understand the evenhanded chip you have on both shoulders. One in particular noticed my FC tattoo on my leg and said he’d supported Warrington at Wembley, when I asked him if he went to matches, he gave the usual reply “no”. Our conversation and relationship ended immediately.

My point is that although we have under achieved we have actually achieved. A Rovers supporter celebrating that Yorkshire Cup win in 1985 with his/her first legal pint is now in their mid-fifties.

Keep it coming.

I have to agree. It's time for a change. He may even call it a day himself.



Lovodua to start if he's here, Dwyer bench and Balmforth next in line.

Anyway, back on topic.

Hopefully Dwyer to be announced this week and an overseas back rower rumoured to be close to being announced too.

Seen the back rower rumour been mentioned, anybody know it actually may be

Would Dennis Betts be a possibility for Director of Rugby for FC. Just annoumced leaving Newcastle at end season.

Keith.



As a Rovers fan why don't you ever post on your own clubs forum?.



Intrigued why you don't. Serious question.

Not seen any names, hopefully not Proctor.



Another Willie Manu would be nice

Not had a sniff on the 2nd row.

Im hoping for a top NSW/Q Cup player.

Does anyone post on Rovers RL fans.com site?

Apparently not. Perhaps you could start a topic to kick things off?



I and I'd guess other Hull fans would like to contribute to any the discussion in the absence of your fellow Robins.



What about this topic. "Why haven't we kicked on this year?"



After 80 minutes from the grand final and fans and experts predicting going a step further why have we gone backwards?

Longstaff

Our collapse came after the unfortunate way Tony Smith announced his departure. I’m not suggesting it was the only reason but must have had a big effect. Mags has had a bit of a stabilising effect and managed to inspire a few wins. Deaspite the poor results after TS’ announcement at least we have avoided any recent blowouts..



We do have an alternative forum which is quite popular.

The silence from Pearson is deafening.

Seems to me he has buried his head in the sand,with no new ideas or real money to rectify the situation other than a fantasy plan hoping that several of the clubs promising younger players will all make the grade in S/L.

Huge mistake backing Hodgson and Pearsons credibility seems to have run out with a lot of fans.

Its a results based business and getting those fans back in the stadium will only happen with success on the field and given our recruitment Hoy and Trueman apart it certainly wont happen next season.

I agree we need to move on the players mentioned.Gale and Houghton should be no problem but we may have to keep Taylor and Griffin and that would be a disaster.

Probably not popular but if we could sell Connor for a decent fee then that would help with offloading Taylor and Griffin.

I think we will struggle next season but have a feeling that Licensing in S/L will be back for 2024 so no concern over relegation

Overseas back rower

Can anyone join?

What’s the website name? Echochamber.com?

I think we will. Can’t see Wire being too dogged in keeping hold of him. I’d like to see him stay. Good energy and attitude.

You'll never win at the new Wembley

I’m also wondering whether a decision has already been made in the background regarding the 2024 season.



Adam has not seemed as upset publically with the players this season. So perhaps if he knows we are ok for 2024, then the focus has switched to the Academy and restructuring the current first team.
