What I heard of his speech played over the tannoy I thought he came across well and was as honest/open as he could be about everything under the circumstances. From what he said though it sounds like the Hull Daily Rag have annoyed the club again, don't know what we don't just ban the idiots, do nothing for the club from what I can see.

I wasn't paying alot of attention because the people around me chose this moment to talk about Dobbo signing a 'new' contract with Rovers keeping him here for 4 years.

Yeah thought it was a good speech espec when he said that the tabloid were practically wetting themselves over the story, was good to see Dobbo sat with Morgan, now surely if he wasn't going to be a KR player he would not have been with Morgan, think this week there will be more light shed on things, and radio humberside got nothing out of Chester so good on him.

Not quite as good as the Kings speech.

Good enough for me and great for him to make the speech and put the story to us all rather than bits in the paper which a lot of which was total cr@p just to sell more copies

Didn't hear Clint's speech, will that be on HullKR.tv?

No mason is now the king that should be on hullkrtv

I think Mason enjoyed making a debut to cheers rather than jeers.

Feel sorry for Neil, speech was a good idea and put some fans fears to rest. But when he touched on the media 'wetting themselves' with regard to the deregistering Dobson story I thought he sounded genuinely disappointed and no wonder, he and the board must feel like banging their head against a brick wall sometimes. Just hope he and the board carry on their fantastic work.

That Mike 'Black & White' White is really getting on my nipples too, probably Morg's too as he obviously refused to speak to Blunderside. Did Mr White not hear Neil's speech or did he choose to totally ignore it and still bang on about the whole thing after the match and wth his chum Tool!? He even suggested to him Dull FC go for Dobbo, what a total kn@b! He is just -stirring in my view, there is obviously no story as he makes out, Dobbo is still contracted to us and is going nowhere whether he likes it or not. He was nearly creaming himself with the man from the RFL last week and seemed desperate to drop Hull KR in it. IMO he is just keeping this going to feed his black & white chums with under-the-bed sock material! Bring back Gwyllum!

What goes around comes around. We all go through periods of being in and out of favour with the local media. The facts are that Rovers having to de-register Dobson to accommodate Mason who you've been attempting to get here for 6 months, is a media story. Rovers have already had criticism for the quota and have been caught short here, with only the "fortunate" injury to Dobson and special dispensation allowing Mason to play. It's poor management to be in that situation. You can't be "lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it" when Burnsy makes jokes about signing Reardon, for example, then take your bat and ball home on this. It's maybe impish and stirring it, but you love it when the boot's on the other foot.

Tell me Hudgell didn't actually use the phrase "wetting themselves"?!

Ah is that who it was I was listening to him on way home I thought Wat a complete d!k he is and tool saying it's out of order that we've done what we've done, it's only cos he is a complete tool and not capable of doing things like that, well cheating in the challenge cup.

Did he bring his bar stool ?

where was Joel clinton again? still no real light shed there.

Yeah he did certainly cheered the crowd up well done Hudge

and he said he is sick of our fans been upset by the media, gotta love him

Chester says he will be back for Friday

How odd. If attentions had been focussed on the fine detail of quota, passport and visa requirement, such as the incorrect judgement or advice on Ben Galea's passport, there would have been nothing for the fans to get upset about. No real need to then get cross with the press for doing their job.

But the press lie and fabricate things just to sell an extra two papers at what 40p a go I don't buy that cr@p paper anymore waste of money.

I thought he spoke well, but I think it would've come across better if it was done either direct to the crowd or pre recorded (just not in the sponsors lounge). Also thought the timing of it could've been better. Seemed a bit strange, Neil talking all things Willie Mason, whilst Mason was warming up.

Other than that, it was good.
Well done

The margins between what is in the readerships interest and ShLt staring may be negligble... who cares anyhow?... When Dobbo is fit he will be re-instated as a Rovers player ... end off.
James Rule is asking for RFL clarification... no doubt so FC don't make further transgressions!!! or perhaps just ShLt staring?????

If they have told lies, is he pursuing legal action against them? If the RFL issue a statement to say Dobson's contract has been terminated, what exactly do you expect the HDM to do? Ignore it, or try and get clarification? The nub of the issue is that Rovers error over Galea's passport has ultimately created a story for the local media to report on. Don't shoot the messenger.

Asking the RFL to clarify anything is beyond pointless.

how odd, fc get beat by 12 man wigan team

and still come on here spouting. bloody cabbages

But as hudge said he is still legally contracted to rovers you had to be there to hear it amazing how the rfl statement was quickly re done for the following day as they had not been correct in everything they had said, at the end of the day we have done nothing illegally so all is cool, and in the spirit of the game as Rimmer stated every super league club has had some special dispensation in the past and KR are no different, I mean you can't complain your team got to wembley on the back of cheating

Itw, itw, it was.
