Webster, Green, Dobson, Vella, Mason, Clinton, Galea, Newton- how many foreigners do you want in a side.'"
Rovers like everyone else would love a production line of local talent but personally I have no problem with overseas players plying their trade here.
I would allow clubs to sign as many overseas players as they want. But I would then add a rule allowing only 5 to play in any one game.
That way, red tape and self imposed quotas will never stop you bringing over a star name like Mason if you want to, but still there will always be plenty of opportunity for local players. And the RFL stay within the law because there are no quotas, nothing.
Main thing is you need to be in Super League or you get the worst of both worlds. If you are not, star overseas players won't look at you and the best local talent will go elsewhere. Why wouldn't they?
Hull KR lived in that world for well over a decade and people don't realise how tough it is. Never mind debates about overseas quotas, every fibre of your being is consumed just in the task of staying alive. It's less about overseas quotas and all about car boot sales and penny farthing sponsors.
Thankfully Rovers came through that but there were times it really seemed we wouldn't. We are still only 4 years on from coming off life support so I think people are way too harsh on us.
An expansion club (rightly) is given a lot of leeway because they are starting from scratch but coming into Super League from over a decade of part time rugby isn't all that much easier.
I wish Wakefield luck as they descend inevitably into the dark world Rovers have now left so very far behind. Personally I don't think Wakefield will ever come back, the dice are loaded too heavily now. When the life support of Super League is removed, Wakefield will be gasping for air, frightened, full of regrets.
When reality hits home Wakefield fans will have more pressing things to think about than Hull KR having 2 more overseas players than Wigan.

Cooke never had a contract full stop down to the incompetency of your club, and by the way how is Ur club doing u know the wealthiest club in SL, the one that has the best ground best fans think you need to worry about what the quins are gonna do to u today, or the wonderful Agar could be saved for the rest of the season if you win today so COME ON U ULL

Actually he did. The RFL even went to the effort of saying so and then claiming that we'd accepted his resignation. And the incompetence was down to one man.

No he never funny ain't it rule quoted that he was gonna make Cooke pay and take him to court as rovers never paid any money to Ur club for him, so ask Ur self why was he allowed to just leave.

Ah, but the problem is, neither is Willie's passport. It's still in Tonga.
I believe the Rfl were assured that the arrival was imminent and that's why the re-registration was provisionally approved. With last night's fiasco, is their patience with Rovers about to run out?

Shock horror, Rovers become the first club in the history of RL to have a problem with floodlights.

| Dont agree with that. Most Rovers in the east Stand stayed until the final try which was on the hooter.

| I know Rovers miss Dobson (so they say) but their form wasnt that great before his injury. For me, Rovers lack power up front and pace in the threequarters to trouble the engravers at Red Hall.
Lets face it, FC and KR will be winning foook all in the forseeable future, Wire, Wigan, Saints, Huddersfield and Leeds will see to that.
I dont think you could put together a good side between the pair of them at present (FC & KR).

| So Rovers were rubbish last night, so what? they will be better they may even get worse, in the long run it is all irelevent, I dont like it when we loose in the fasion we did last night, but hey even at my age I hope to have a few more years of supporting the club & that is what it is about supporting your club. Why any supporter from other clubs should concern thier selfs with our problems beats me, our ground is quiet good enough for us it will get better in time. To all you sad people who think it makes you bigger or better to support another side I am sorry to tell you that it makes not one iota of difference. To all us rovers supporters we got beat by a better set of players last night our heros were awfull deal with it, enjoy the good games live with the bad just please dont demean your self by lashing out at other clubs.

I suggest you check the Sky footage or get your eyes tested, the East Stand was still virtually full when the Rovers played were filmed clapping the fans, but don't let the facts get in the way of your poor attempt at trolling.

Mixed emotions from me.
We are poor with a shocking coach, but are still doing better (or least the same as you).
I'd be very worried about your team if I was you.
Suppose thats the difference in the ambitions of the two supporters.

So our ambitions of finishing high enough to be in, and do well in the playoffs and also the challenge cup are different from yours...
What are your ambitions then?..
