Rags like the HDM just exist to get clicks and sell ads. Posting controversy like this is sure to make your stats look good. That's why they publish so many stories about cycle lanes, vegan food and people being offended.

HDM certainly like a cycle lane story.

depends a lot on who is writing it sometimes a partisan reporter will state something that is rumoured to flush out the reaction of the fans as an indicator to the clubs owners of the likely ramifications of their proposed action. It was a tactic the great Dick Tingle used from time to time in hard times.

The issue with signing a decent 7, is its pretty late for recruitment. OK we may lose Connor for free, but at least we would know around April and we could plan accordingly and would have a couple more non fed spots to play with

Heard once again that we have approached Rovers with regards to signing Abdul.

You’d have thought the club would only enquire if the player themselves were interested?



Looks like the rumours show no signs of slowing down post season.

I'd normally take it with a pinch of salt but the guy who told me also told me about Rovers signing Batchelor and Aydin a good few weks before both were officially announced.

Love it. Great to create some interest and see fans (ours and those of other clubs) tie themselves in knots e.g. "Fatty" Abdull whilst at FC, transformed into an international by Tony Smith, now what?

Always rated him / never wanted him.



Delete as applicable

Jesus all i need now is Griffin has been made Captain for next season

Can't see Rovers selling Abdull. Especially to us

Maybe it’s a player swap. They get Taylor , Griffin and Shaul….

33/1 in bookies.Get on it lol

Well Abdul knows nothing about it lol

That's what he wants you to think

Taylor

For goodness sake it's not about here today gone tomorrow players like Connor. He's on huge wages which nobody else would pay so that's why he most likely will stay another year until his contract runs out.



No the shift has moved to Rovers because we are in a much better situation financially. We are nearly breaking even now (Hull FC £1million plus loss every year) but that's just the start. With the acquisition of the ground and surrounding land we will soon enter profitability with the situation improving every year.



Just one of the 7 surrounding 'parcels' of land which Rovers have bought has planning permission for housing, can you imagine how much money Rovers will make out of that? There are exciting plans for the other 6 parcels all of which will generate money for Rovers. And in the meantime Rovers are free from the burden of rent and every penny made from the stadium goes to Rovers.



Compare that to the Hull FC where far from making you money, your stadium (well it's not your stadium is it) actually you have to pay expensive rent just to play there and in a few short years you won't even have the right to stay there.



Bit by bit, year on year the situation will gradually shift in Rovers favour it's inevitable. Already we have finished above you 2 years running and that's just the start.

Put the sherry away, Bob.

To be fair, Craven Streat (sic) is getting a toffee apple and candy floss van next season. Going to take them above Brisbane Brincos as the premier world RL team.



Must have imagined them laying off the reserve team players and not playing an academy lad in the derby as it would cost them,

Are you Tony Larvin?

Has he just woken from his drunken slumber to learn who our new coach is?







It must have him rattled

Rovers lost £622k in the last accounts and Rovers Events company lost money too. That was before the catastrophic impact of energy cost increases that come with property ownership and net liabilities of £4m. But yes, I'm sure it's all lovely.

Chomp chomp, here comes PAC Man. The only thing that keeps you from falling over is the perfect balance of those 2 massive chips on your shoulders, where as I’m standing on the shoulders of giants. Get away and shoite. You spent over 20 years walking in the wilderness. All that lovely revenue will disappear just like when the original Craven Park was sold, was it 2 or 3 administrations? You were involved with a dodgy building company that time as well

He’s had an uneven career trajectory but the peaks were pretty high. Even as a Rovers fan, I hope Hull fans give him a respectful send off when the time comes and that over time his decline will mostly fade from your collective memory.

Point taken, but at the moment he's not worth a place in the starting lineup.
