Carnegie are the sponsors, it's nothing to do with Headingley.

Waiting for Standee to put the downers on it 1234 and counting

nothing to do with playing at Headingley Carnegie also?????

I wouldn't hold your breath on it being staged anywhere else

I wouldn't hold your breath on Carnegie being the sponsors next year either, they can't even sponsor a trip to the coffee machine at the moment.

Some rather nice highlights on HDM site

Me too, the Dobbins would only do the same!

Yer just seen that, who is the black lad playing for us? Looks like he has loads of pace to burn!

That's Reece Lynn, excellent prospect. Mind you he'll have a fight on his hands, Jack Briscoe seems pretty quick too.

Hodgson was by far and away the best Hull FC player in the tournament last night and proved beyond doubt what a fantastic talent he really is!

I am really looking forward to seeing what he can do next year!

Because he played well in a 9's tournament



He isnt big enough IMO to play backrow and we have far better options than him, we also have better players (potentially) coming through in Liam Kent, Alec Norris and Josh Bowen.

We also have plenty of cover at hooker, I would suprised if Hull kept him TBH.

Hey up, Mr Hull-Robin is back. Craig Hall, Chris Thorman and Reece Lynn were all better and more influencial to name but 3. But there isn't rumours connecting them with signing for Rovers is there.

FWIW Hodgson is an ok player but won't command a regular first team place next year and if the dobbins are willing to pay daft money to poach average FC squad players that's fine with me, I mean they really got one over on us by signing Wheeldon on an inflated wage.

is the Carnegie challenge cup final at headingley then?

Is there any wonder why some players have no pride in the shirt with comments like that. Hodgson is without doubt a talented player, maybe not the most talented but he's definitely not average. He's still in his development phase.

If thats how we respect our young players who are trying to make it then no wonder they go over the river.

And no I'm not Josh's dad or uncle nor do I even know the lad but people on here are quick to put the young kids down, what's wrong is he better than you ever was??

Read what I put again...

He's an average FC squad player, which he is. He's not one of the better players in the squad nor is he one of the worst which makes him average, much like Tommy Lee, Graeme Horne and a few others. I never actually said he was average as a player but in the context of our squad for next year he wonn't get many if any chances of 1st team rugby and if some club wants to come along and pay him more than what FC offered him to be a reserve then FC shouldn't be forced into re-evaluating their valuation of the kid.

You are so transparent it's embarrassing.



Did you miss the part where Craig Hall was voted player of the tournament by any chance?

Oh dear oh dear quite pathetic really

Probably still out celebrating 23000 posts,

If the lad sees his future at kr good luck to him. He may feel he has more chance of a first team spot with Fitzhenry leaving. I haven't seen any reserve games but looking at the reports he's been a stand out performer and has always given his best.

Another Whiting then

Personally I can cope with continued progression and a top 4 finish though.

Thought Thorman had played his last game for us...??

Must of meant the 13 a side game

While I wouldn't view it in terms of getting one over on Hull, [iif[/i we signed Hodgson and [iif[/i it turns out anywhere near as well as the signing of Wheeldon, I'd be very pleased with that. Wheeldon has been a very solid part of much improved Rovers team.

congrats on winning the nines, btw (genuinely).

What are you basing that on?


He's barely even in the squad yet, how about laying off him and giving him a chance? Everytime I've seen him play for the Reserves he looks a class above and the games I haven't made, what I've been told more often than not is that he is the best player on the pitch.

near enough for me

hodgson, very similar to kirk netherton when he was here but more skillful and stronger imho

Worth another year at least. esp with lee going
