Got to be happy with this, proven coach and NOT dependent on staying in SL. At least we know that plans are being made no matter what.

I'm delighted , absolutely delighted.

World class appointment.

He's been brilliant at the Reds. At least you will get another go at the 'money spinning' middle 8s next year no matter what

As a Salford fan, he should walk now as his allegiance is obviously with you guys, especially if we meet in the MPG.

Expect a three-year plan, by the way, that's his philosophy, trust in Tim our fickle lot used to vomit, well Tim could be the one to hammer the final nail if we meet in the MPG. Either way, if we fail to even reach the MPG Tim's a winner and it's the death nail for Salford. Trusting in Tim has killed us, I sincerely hope your trust in Tim is more fruitful than ours. Goodluck.

As a Hull FC fan I have to say that its an appointment you can't knock. Sure some people will try to but when compared to McNamara & Terry Matterson or Brian McDermott then Tim Sheens CV is light years ahead.

Nobody can tell if this will work out yet but I think Hull KR have to be applauded for pushing the boat out & giving themselves a real opportunity to push on here. No club in the world wouldn't be dissapointed with the appointment of Sheens if there coaching position became vacant.

I may be one of the few FC fans who want both FC & KR to prosper, FC more obviously! But you now have a real chance.

Its a change in approach from Hull KR, its a stance that says we're not just talking about plans etc, we are now putting something in place to make changes happen & bring success.

WELL DONE TO HULL KR.

An excellent bit of business by Neil and the rest of the board. Especially considering its not linked to SL retention.

It's news like this that settles the nerves across the whole club.

Personally, I hope Webbo becomes his assistant but we'll have to see. I like Webbo, but the good of the club is more important.

An excellent appointment by the club and a real declaration of intent.

Playtime just got serious.

Should settle the ship. Be interesting how it pans out with peacock. Feathers might fly

Pleased with this appointment, along with the message it sends about financial commitment from Rob & Hudge.

Job to be done 1st though.

Just love it what a pity we did not get him before webster and like i have said before webster was a good player but not a super league coach now go all out to stay in this league please

I agree its a great appointment by rovers but there are three must win games to go first

Finally, some good news!

Cracking appointment, will get to ride around the full city with his stagecoach bus pass, will he be eligible for a free TV license?

If that's the best you can do then it must be a good appointment.

He is a world class coach given the right players, just hope he remembers his place of work, you know what old age can do to some folk.

I see his age as a massive plus point , when he transforms us he's much less likely to be headhunted by a NRL club.

That's correct Chessy, most over the hill Aussies come to SL for an easy payday, he will be the head of dads army.

Good appointment on the face of it. Hopefully for you hudge & co will keep their noses out and let him get on with it

Great appointment with tons of experience at the top, Mac Banana must of changed his mind, I bet your breathing a sigh of relief there, just the small matter of staying up now but with Jamie back your chances have improved no end do you think he will be able to work with Peacock above him going to be strange for him having a young guy over him with no coaching experience wonder if it will work ?

Best news we've had in a while.

As somebody predicted, I'm pleasantly surprised.

I think that's a fair point.
He does have the standing in the game and the authority to tell them to let him get on with it. Hopefully it will shut Hudgel's mouth regarding team matters, or at least smoke him out.

I guess he'll walk away if they do. I doubt peacock will have any involvement with coaching when sheens takes over

He's not supposed to now

You must be over 80 then.
