I mentioned that earlier. Wouldn’t surprise if they don’t want to pay out for someone else.

And there was me thinking Craven “Streat” was going to catapult them into the upper echelons of world rugby.

After 31st July any player on loan at Championship and League 1 clubs can't be recalled. The date for players on loan at SL clubs is the 24th July.

Rovers recalled Rusling from his loan expecting him to play on Monday to be then told by the RFL that he isn't eligible to actually play due to the loan cut off rules.

As for debuts I think we are at seven. You also say about us moaning but it's not actually Rovers fans doing the moaning here. Hull fans seem more bothered that we can't field a full 17 then we are.

Definitely a money thing, despite being skint, we have paid players off, brought in loam players and given debuts to to a host of young players.

That's because you're on a Hull FC forum....

Got to laugh at the excuse of International call ups



One young player called up to play for Ireland U19’s and suddenly they are unable to name a team

Pretty sure we have named a team that's the argument we only named 16a. Oh and BTW the club have now added Parcell as 17th man.

Wasn't the loan rule changed this year, so you could call back a player after that date? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.examin ... 554543.amp

Would appear that the rules changed then.

Looks like rovers are trying to make a point but going the wrong way about it/ looking for a sympathy vote. I get not being able to name a squad for a reserves game but it's absolutely embarrassing for them to only name 16 players in their match day squad, they've got players recalled from loans and surley a few academy players to fill in.

So why is McGuire making such a big song and dance about only naming 16 players?

Hoping the RFL would do them a big favour and let Litten and Sims play



Better hope you are signing more than the 11 players you are releasing otherwise you could have this problem next season

Don't really know what they're whinging about.

Injuries to the spine aside, its a decent team. Pretty much first choice pack. Ryan and Hall have been first picks on the wing all season. Wood and Minchella have played when fit.

Absolutely. The usual fabricated nonsense from them ready for a timely boost on Saturday. Didn't we beat them with 16 players when Faraimo got redcarded a couple of years ago?

The whole club is built on this mindset. Hard done by and up against it.

The fans buy into it (critical thinking is not in their DNA when it comes to Rovers), and now it looks like DM has fell into the same way of thinking.

Me neither. The core of that squad was within one game of the GF last season.

They still have plenty of experience available and also have the luxury of fielding 6 full internationals.

That must make them favourites given how decimated we are.

There's not a single player from Saturdays u18s game in that KR squad. We have 2 in ours. This is just posturing from them.

And what they are basically saying is that every single one of the 17 lads who played in that academy game is now injured and unavailable to make the squad, which is clearly bull.
Even if you don't think they are ready to play, at least just name one and let then be an unused sub (or even bring them on for a bit if the result is basically decided by 70 minutes). It would still be a good experience and learning curve for a young lad to be named, warm up with the team, spend the game on the sidelines rather than up in the stands.

I did like Maguire as a player but as a coach for half a season he has done nothing but whine that the world is against him.
I'm not sold on Hodgson but to be fair to him he could see injuries mounting and players been moved on so he made an early move into the loan market to fill the spaces and he has given debuts to a fair few young players this season. Maguire has just cried about injuries every week and repeatedly claim he doesn't know how he's going to field a team the following week.

I think our 2 were named in the squad for the Toulouse game the following day.

Just do what we did last weekend - name an unused sub

Hodgson did the exact same thing last season with Burrell against Huddersfield. Gave him a couple of minutes at the end of the game. He was only seventeen at the time.

And now it seems he’s whining because Tony didn’t involve him as much this season





Rather convenient and creates an excuse as to why he can’t be blamed for the poor showing this season

Anybody know how the tickets sales are going?

Gale, Marcus Walker and Aidan Burrell all announced as leaving alongside Johnstone, Ma’u, Bowden, Reynolds, Smith.

Not great I guess otherwise they'd be banging on about it on twitter every hour.

I think 14/15k is the best we can expect.
