It's probably true. I always hoped he'd stay. But we never had much chance of that.

The first two are a waste of money. Better players on East Park.

Name them!

The kid in the 1 shirt and the kid in the 11 shirt.

Cockayne was always a liability as a player. One good thing, 3 errors and a penalty later.... He can't pass nor catch a bomb. Cooke remembered this when Leigh came and Cockayne had a shocker costing us tries. He was our worst player in the play offs.

Clarkson well. My outpouring n him are well documented. Brave tries hard. Can't beat a man can't run through a man can't pass can't run a line. Average in defence. Gets battered and bullied by opposition forwards. Similar back row to Donaldson, Horne, Lawler, Larroyer but he's the worst. You have one player of this mould not 5 in your squad. Blair adds a running threat but no domination.

I'd keep Lawler maybe Donaldson at a push and that dependent on who else you can get. The rest can go from those back rows. This squad in balance and poor coaching appointment sent us down this year not injuries. Wigan had far worse injuries and won the comp with a load of acadamy kids and cheap imports whilst carrying Sam Tomkins.

Rumoured you'd agreed deals with murdoch masila and dave taylor if you'd stayed up

Rumoured by a daft get who writes a rubbish blog. I could make crap up like that all day if someone paid me.

Didn't realise somebody actually thought this might be true, I just assumed it was a new trolling strategy from JTP.

Holy s#it!

Is Jake The Peg a troll? I thought he posted on here for company.....and I felt for this guy.

To think I cared.....to be then led up the garden path and be mistreated.

You trust some people...you show kindness...now this.

Me a troll? How verily dare you? I am affronted by the very suggestion

You're not JTP. You're the derty berds iteration of Donald TRumpyrumpypumpy. Prone to spouting any old cods and then denying it, claiming a Clintonesque media type conspiracy. Get your blond comb over straightened out and keep trolling, Jakebot.

Not blonde.

Ginger.

Evil. I know.

Salter signed on now, not really one to get the juices flowing for me, but he's steady enough.

It's another body i don't suppose he had any SL clubs beating down his door for his signature

Underwhelmed of Pickering here.

Liam Salter. We should be saving our coin for someone better imo. Sheens needs to get in his ear and show him the way to the try line. 17 tries in 82 appearances is pretty cack for an outside back/centre.

would you take Kris Welham back?

yes and no and would he come back

Welham under Sheens would be a welcome addition. Needs to abandon his defensive brain farts, but far more creative and attack minded than Salter. Would fail to get past Goose's ginger filtration systems though.

Did Adam Johnson not plead "not guilty"? Sunderland FC supported him in this only for him to then plead guilty when the evidence was revealed to court?
Admittedly Sunderland didn't cover themselves in glory but I can fully understand why they may have feel let down by Johnson...along with being let down their legal advisers who should have given his evidence a thorough grilling.

oh jesus when will they ever learn who makes these decisions?

Won't be a regular, Inglis will keep him out of our 1st 17.

Welham of 2015, yes. Welham of 2013 and 2014 no.

Salter is in the club because....

1) he's probably cheap,
2) It means our squad can now boast 8 whole players
3) Might be OK in the Championship but not SL quality.

Ignoring players most likely to go, I hope we still keep....

Mantellato
Dixon
Jubb
Wardill

We need halfbacks from somewhere as well.

I'm waiting patiently for the Sheens pulling power effect, although in the Championship that might be limited.

Hull daily mail today says those staying loyal are staying put...and according to the solicitor the others couldn't wait to run for the hills.

Maybe they ran in aborhent horror at what they were offered.

I doubt KR fans are going to see their faves stay....not something they the players decided but something the club decided for them....

interesting how the club speaks of loyalty.

I agree cra3yfan that article is so hypocritical. Those staying loyal are staying and then it says that players want to stay but the hierarchy has different ideas. Is that hypocrisy??????. You cannot blame Walker for being disloyal can we when the club being disloyal to those who want to say. Maybe players are being smoked out just like what the Chairman wanted by offering ridiculous contracts.

Interesting first ever contribution. I look forward to your views being aired frequently around here over the coming months. Clearly someone with much knowledge of the workings of Hull KR.

It's money directly from the Chairman's pocket so I think he reserves the right to save money where he feels it appropriate.

However if JM had been offered a significant pay cut then I do think that is ill-judged as he will already be on less than other overseas players and has consistently out performed the others ( Bobby and Ken aside)..
