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.

Thanks for your input Standee.

As a point of pedantry, and having wasted most of my Saturday morning looking back at Peacock’s old interviews, he did intend to be full-time, and I think he was, for a while at least.

He stepped back down to part-time when he’d set up some of things he wanted to do in the rugby department - and possibly because we’d become a Championship team, I imagine.

Sheens has talked in interviews about discussing players and recruitment with the board, so I’d like to think that recruitment is back in the head coach’s purview. Though maybe the signing of McGuire and rumours about Keinhorst suggest Peacock still has some input.

so Bernard you know that he has brought no sponsorship to the club do you, whats the chin done for you lot this year on a far bigger budget,

Are you trying to suggest that people should post things that are based in reality and not just post any old knackers that suits their entrenched view and agenda?

Really?

That'll never catch on.

How on earth are my rare early nineties Berlin deep house vinyls going to alphabetically organise themselves if i have to do research and post facts?

I really don't understand how any one can think that someone who's played in a couple of champion teams, has connections all over the rugby league world and has studied sports management to a decent level can bring anything at all to Rovers.

There's no evidence to suggest he might bring anything at all.

Nope.

As we’re avoiding facts and posting knackers, my theory is that his previous experiences were not a particularly good preparation for the challenge he faced on joining Rovers, and in some ways could even have been a hindrance.

Just felt like he came in and tried to fit Rovers to his vision, rather than vice versa. All the 5-year plan, patience needed, slow-burning process stuff was alarming even before stuff went so badly on the pitch.

He may have learned from it, but we’ve got Sheens now.

I see where linked with more players agen ... anybody no if there’s any truth in them Rhys Hanbury for this season and next and Ryan Hall for next season or is it just more crap untrue rumours

Hanbury sounds plausible. We’re only another injury to Danny McGuire from being in the icky stuff going into the 8s, and he’d be a realistic additional option for the halves.
Hardly exciting, but potentially helpful.

Hall, more likely than not imo, is his agent looking for leverage. The lad is not going to miss out on a gig for 2019, come what may, but you’d think he’d want to know where he stands sooner rather than later. he won’t want risk having to sort out squeezing into somebody else’s cap at short notice if we go down. Be superb if we could get him though - it’d be the best signing prospectively since I don’t know when. We could do with one that changes perceptions.

I think it’s all rubbish but would be good I also see we have been linked with Father Christmas that one might be true lol

May be more truth to that then you think, I’ve heard he’s been pictured in red n white.

saints presumably?

They're actually mentioning Hanbury to you on the Widnes forum, so possibly something in it.

I see watts dad has had some sage words over Shrek Taylor? I agree fully. Sloth from the Goonies is decent back up same as Chav Connor. Won't get near the international 17 when all are fit..Rightly so

Can’t say I agree with Taylor getting in over Luke Thompson Luke Thompson has been the best prop by far this year deserves a spot.... and Conner is a prick can’t stand him but he probably right putting him in the England starting 17 on form won’t be a starting player for me but be good as a utility back on the bench to come on a change the game

Yet still both better than anything rovers have under contract or can hope to sign

Yes Jake and it’s strange that both at one time played for us at the time we had bad coaching

Mulhern over Scott Taylor any day Mulhern will get better with age aswell

I like Mulhern a lot and he's got great potential, but he's not at Taylor's level yet.

Also, we'll likely now have to read a response from Jake about how if Mulhern does approach that level, Hull will sign him. And maybe suffer being 'offered' Ross Osbourne as a makeweight.

I would be delighted if you took Hanbury off our hands

After a few good seasons with us he has consistently been our worst player and has a terrible attitude! We call him TV Rhys here on the terraces here as he only shows up when he is on TV! His reported massive contract could be a lot better spent elsewhere for us, He also spends a lot of time on the injury table.

If he gets to Taylors level (Which is is way off yet, as Taylor has played consistently at a high level for the last 5 years plus, not half a season like Mulhern), then i'd expect him to follow Taylors lead and move to a club to compete for honours.

It seems to me that KR has become a feeder team to Hull FC. Lets be honest, if any player wants to play in Hull they want to play for the big team leaving KR with bit-part players and cast offs.

I think you need to be worrying about your own team
