[quote="Dave K.":2emirw5t]Can't wait for the Netflix series.[/quote:2emirw5t] Until then, there’s always the BBC’s ‘Trouble at the Top’ programme from c1998, that you should be able to find it in the usual place. Plays out the story of Hull KR struggling in Administration (amazingly their crowds of under 2k weren’t classed as sell outs in those days). Also shows the back story of Tim Wilby’s attempt to buy and merge the two clubs. It’s an interesting watch with quite a bit of FC reference and footage.

Big test for Myler, got to work some magic and bring in a player or two that will improve us. We all knew the squad was thin and have since released two players. Not going to be easy though.

I hope it isn't the case but if Sao is out for the season, could he be deregistered to open up a quota spot, then resign him for next season off quota?

I would also let him go at the end of the season. 33 later this year. I think we need to look for a younger replacement personally.

[quote="Blackandwhitebigdog":2qjub2uv]When was this hinted at?[/quote:2qjub2uv] In his interview last week whilst talking about the squad, I thought he’d said that we’d be stronger this week, but it sounded that there may be through squad signings, not just returning players. I can’t find the clip and I may have I misinterpreted what was said. However, hopefully we get some additional re-enforcements soon.

The injuries in the pack are a problem. We at least need to go find a prop and second row imo. The problem is that we don't really have the youngsters coming through in the pack. If we have a lot of injuries in the backs we have Moy, the Kemps, Charles, even Westerman who I'm confident could all hold their own. In the pack I don't think any of them are ready, particularly in the front row.

If Sao isn't retained I think we need two established props to rotate with Ese Ese, Aydin and Ashworth (plus Fash & the kids), two second row to complement Cartwright, Lane and Holmes not up to it IMO and at least one centre to partner Hardaker. Don't think anyone believes Chamberlain is anything but a squad player. That's minimum additions if we're going to continue to improve.
