Every player that is available seems to be strongly linked with us,joe greenwood,linked to join his brother,jackson hastings,chris sandow recently,and now he says he wants to go back to warrington,who he kicked into touch.We sign danny tickle,who I feel has played really well for us,and the latest weller hauraki who will be 34 next year and is going to be playing against us in the middle 8s which we look sure to be in.
I know experience is invaluable,but tim seems to to give the youngsters a game and then they do ok and out thet go on loan,in a team which has more than its share of injuries.Chris atkin has been very good this season imo,yet often starts on the bench in a depleted side and surely should start. Matty marsh who imo is bang average at best seems to be a tim favourite and repeatedly produces nothing going forward wheras atkins provides a spark.Great point at cas and give us a bit of hope of avoiding the middle 8s,bearing in mind the fixtures we have left,a big task but we live in hope.

Would expect 1 or 2 more signings shortly tbf.. Quietly getting job done

Hastings and Sandow are both trouble so wouldn’t want either really and do you really believe Greenwood was going to sign for us we always get linked with players because we’re a bottom four side and they usually strengthen this time of year

I'd take Hastings without hesitation .Different class to any other half in SL. Baggage yes but treated carefully would be a game changer

Merely used as a pawn in those examples to entice better offers from other clubs.

The media are aware that have cap space, zo theyve linked us with anybody and everybody.

Fact is, we were never actively chasing any of these players.

That must be why we kept the danny tickle signing quiet from the press in case somebody nipped in and gazumped us.

Agree mate,absolute class those that dont want him obviously haven't seen him play.
Kelly came with baggage and we outed him,but is the best off half in the league by a mile,im sure hull fans wouldnt want to swop baggage or not.

Kelly didn’t really come with baggage but yeah he is a great player but he was also one of the reasons we were relegated Hastings is ok but he thinks he’s a lot better than he actually is because why else would he be coming to SL at his age

With your rigid wage structure imposed by peacock there's no wonder you're struggling to sign anyone

Do you have tangible evidence of the wage structure used by Hull KR and also that it was Peacock who “imposed” it?

Or, as I suspect are you just chatting $h!t?

Dumped by cronulla,picked up by gold coast and released even though he scored 16 tries in 33 matches,thats how he finished over here,nobody wanted to know him.How times have changed.

DGM and Jake deflectors set to maximum. Can't abide The Rovers them lads.

Luckily, Jamie Peacock is sat in his office in Marfleet working tirelessly to bring in new players in time for the Middle 8's.

He's definitely not on a different continent doing one of his many other jobs that take priority.

Oops, he's definitely stealing a wage at KR, along with Mr Sheen, still trying to polish a turd.

It’s not as if he’s our coach and he’s off on a jolly he works a day or two for us I don’t think he’s an integral part of what’s going on really

I can't believe you're falling for this muppetry.

Anyone who knows nothing knows that Peacock has only ever had a part time role at Rovers.

And surprise, surprise, as England Team Manager, he might, just might, be in Denver?

The funniest thing is that RLFans.com's best paid, most intelligent poster, driver of the biggest truck, (GRRR!) Leigh_Manning joins in here without a hint of irony.

It was widely reported that peacock came in and imposed a wage structure similar to that which leeds operate(d) in the belief players would sign for rovers on similar wages to which they had signed for leeds.

I've been to a talk he gave where he was asked some questions about rovers and he said that prior to him going in, agents and players had "taken the pi$$" out of hudgel with contract demands (which hudgel had agreed to) and he would make sure it didn't happen again.

He is probably one of the dullest speakers I've ever had the misfortune to listen to BTW. It's like he rehes everything in his head before saying it.

Anyway, no $hit chat from me sherlock

You're not wrong there but it doesn't stop me being objective

Possibly the most, no, definitely the most ludicrous statement you've ever made.

Which is a special talent in and of itself.

Claiming that something is “widely reported” and that you “heard responses to a Q&A” session is not tangible evidence. It’s chatting $h!t, can you can actually support your claims with evidence? Y’know, links to these “widely reported” facts? I’m sure the HDM would have transcribed the Q&A if it actually happened (though that paper is as reliable as wiki as a source of evidence). Back to you

I'm sure it ill be somewhere if you look but I'm not interested. the fact you've sign no one of note since peacock came in is evidence enough IMO but I don't care enough to bother looking. The more of the half decent players who are available that sign for your competitors the better for me

Don't baffle him.Hes made his mind up and no well presented facts will dissuade him. Comprehensively owned there Jakey...

I don't think Peacock has done much for you guys, other than take his salary.

Hopefully Hudgell & Pearson can work with fellow SL OWNERS (so that doesn't include Hetherington) for a bright future.
