Are you for real? Jeez no wonder I very hardly read this site anymore

The squad of 2017 know they have achieved a remarkable feat and they know the consequences of this. Many are signed on for 2018, some are deliberating over contract offers, and others are currently in limbo. We need to pause here over how we dispose of or down-grade players on this thread. Let’s not follow the trend of wielding the hatchet. Let us admire and praise each and every one; from those with the smallest contribution to the stalwarts of the squad. They deserve our continued support.

Off course all your posts are insightful and add to the discussion in a meaningful way.

If that is a typical post it's probably just as well you don't visit very often.

WELL SAID and I agree with what you have said every player did count at 1 stage or another in the season

I think we need an injection of quality rather than quantity. I think the difference between HKR 2017 and Leigh 2016 is that we are a relatively young squad that will get better. Leigh tended to rely on older experience to get up and I think this coupled with a lack of depth has bitten you on the backside a bit this year.

Don't get me wrong, next year will be tough, but wholesale changes aren't the way to go.

Josch Mantomato would be a grate singing for me . RRTR.

Not a chance, hes retiring as he has broken his arm again, the same arm he has broken twice before and has pins in. Think we got good value out of him in his time here.

I liked Mantellato when he was here.Consistently solid winger and kicking was good although after his last injury I seem to remember he missed a few ones he wouldn't have in the past? Watching this year's superleague it seems good goal kickers are at a premium.Williams at Wigan is costing them a lot of points and after Richards it seems very noticeable. Same with Watkins at Leeds.We have Ellis if he stays? Shaw had a reputation as a good kicker I think? Wins are going to be hard to come by next year and those 2 pointers need slotting

It's back the fake rovers fan

Hudge made it clear on Sportstalk that we are hoping to run a reserve grade team, so I would imagine all but 1 or 2 will be staying put.

How dare yow forty yeers man abd boy !

You LIE like you spell very bad so of you go again to the hole you have just come out of

What are your views on the signings of Mose Masoe and Danny McGuire?

Measure it now, this is a test.

Simple realy masoe good for ten minutes , mcguire needs top class players around him to be effective .Does this pass your stupid test , i come on here for a bit of banter and i am rebuffed . do you not have a sense of humour in east Hull or is that you are that green with envy of the Mighty FC 2 X Wembley challenge Cup Winners and still fighting for old Trafford .Lighten up .RRTR

No Rovers supporter would EVER say the mighty?????? FC...sh**y FC . without doubt.

I think your mask as a rovers fan has slipped somewhat Billy. You can write what rubbish you like as its a free forum, but pretending to be one of us with your 'humour' being based on factual and gramatical errors is just a bit tiresome and not particularly funny.

Mask slipped - double tick

Bowing out -- Hopefully

do you think 10 minute mickey will be effective for you next year and will the flegging frog command a regular spot,if you want to lighten things for a bit of sport you could try gassing yourself

whats happening with jamie ellis?

on loan from the giants, not sure giants will be that keen to have him back.

Looks like he will be free to find another club. He played well when he had a settled partner but struggled when asked to be the lead HB. He will always get a warm welcome from me at CP as he was a major part of the team which got us promoted.

He played well for a lot of the season, but at times was a little inconsistant and on some other occasions did not seem motivated. This may not all be down to Ellis, as HBs rely on good players around them. That stated, he is not a player to steer the team around which should be a prerquisite for a number 7.

On that basis, I have doubts about him at SL level. I personally wouldn't give him a contract but Tim Sheens might see something he can work with.

I woukd like to see Abdul stay, he and Lunt controlled the game on Saturday. McGuire will be great next season but may only play half the games. Atkin will have his big SL chance as well. ZDC is a good utility player but not a HB, neither is Addy. Marsh is just plain rubbish. This friday will make or break his future at the club I reckon. On that basis, we need at least 1 other dedicated HB for 2018.

Ooooo you are a one

This is just my opinion and I doubt it will happen, I would get rid of

Horne
Cockayne ( I know he has already signed for York)
Quinlan
Jake Butler Fleming
Moran
Mitch Clark
Bobby Blair (providing we could find a far better oversees forward)

So that's 7 out for me, so if we could sign 5-6 better upgrades on the likes of Horne i think we could have a very strong Super League squad.

You reckon you could go back in for Sio, playing reserve grade
