On this occasion i think you are right

Don't jinx me now

I thought Rovers supporters said that Gene hated Hull FC and the time he spent here

Of course it was, Rovers had there best season in years in 2021 under Smith and them decided to draw up some replacements



Any evidence, as the only thing I see is that they expected and wanted Smith to stay?

Don't know if Ellis has got caught up in the reshuffle. Not sure if he'll be an assistant.

Some nice words from Rovers fans here, done a great job, left the club in a better place, but my favourite is them wishing him the best of luck in thr future https://twitter.com/hullkrofficial/stat ... -MhHA&s=19

Doubt it, 3 out, 3 in.

Irrespective of what we all think about HKR their recruitment is good and well balanced.
Ill once again get the usual black marks for saying this but they will finish in the top six and we wont unless Tony Smith can work some magic and find us a big pacy second row,and front row,and we need a wing with real speed.
Hopefully he can engineer Taylor,Griffin and Evans out the door so he can add to the squad

Wonder if he will still feel the same if Smith does get announced.

Can’t you see all the Rovers fans comments under that piece saying they didn’t want him to stay and were looking forward to a new coach coming in?

No me neither

not so good on this one
He will be with the club

For next season? Batch is decent, 3 NRL signing aren't anything special if you watch the NRL, on paper all three aren't as good as the 3 they have just released when they signed them(I know it doesn't always work out that way).

Why do you think smith announced his departure the way he did?

Hudgell was in Florida at the time, meeting Willie peters,

Like I said, smith was given every chance, the other offers he was hoping for didn’t materialise

Are you for real?
Thanks for proving that you know nothing about rugby

I'm sure he'll be with us still. Maybe used in a different area?

Touchy touchy.

Don't worry, Gale will be on hand to stear you round the park next year

I came on here to play FC bingo, I’m already well on the way to getting a line.

Have heard he’s heading in the opposite direction. Bloody hope not.

Judas

Spot on Dave.

But no doubt one of them will tell us how brilliant the 3 NRL players are despite not seeing 2 of them play for ages because they don’t get picked for their clubs despite how bad their clubs are doing (Broncos and Knights).

They will have said the same when Sims, Vete and Takarangi were signed

Talk me through your signings, Kennedy is a pudding, a bit like Evans, Opacic is solid, nothing spectacular, Sue could do well In SL but hasn't played much in a poor Newcastle team. I watch just about every NRL game. No where near the calibre of BT, Vete or Simms when you signed them?

Who else have you signed a Hudds reserve winger.

These might do well, but it's nothing to get excited about.

Add to this an inexperienced coach who fights with other circling members joining a team that finished 8th, I don't see why Rovers fans are coming on here like they are Saints or Wigan.

Did someone just say Hudgell was meeting Peters in Florida, in the middle of the NRL season?

He hated it at hull
Hated it.
The culture, or lack of it, the egos of players who’ve done nothing, all the billy big I am’s.
He won’t have that at rovers, plus he’ll get to play for a quality coach.
