I fail to see how CS has taken Rovers backwards? Explain!

His Bobness a marvellous post at last someone who talks sense ! Although i have to disagree with the two ex Crusaders players i think Withers started the season really well but has fell away badly since the Exile game, O Hara has given it everything since he has come back from injury. But will agree that we would not have touched them without the special dispensation.
I Dont like long contracts so maybe 3, we wouldnt want to hand out massive compensation if things did go pete tong and we had to dismiss Sandy.

2011 Hull Kingston Rovers 27 14 0 13 713 692 28
2012 Hull KR 24 10 1 13 645 608 21

Of course there's mitigating circumstances, injuries/suspensions/etc, but having watched the majority of hkr's games this season I wouldn't say it's a success.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying sack him and you are a side in transition, but up till now have you seen great improvement in your playing style/attack/defence?

I do agree he should be given some time but he already had a deal for next season, a 5 year extension would be ridiculous.

Mariano would easily get a run out at HKR, give over. Raleigh IMHO is actually now just reaching his best, form Prop in this month RLW. I wouldn't say Hodgson was any better than Ellis, I suppose we will see this weekend.

Dont know about your guys, but Raleigh is in the form of his life and Ellis has probably sparked our current run of form, it should be a cracking game !
See what you can do with the weather though, its always blowing a gale over at your place, that is if its not snowing

I have booked some sunshine for you all, it should arrive early Sunday morning and leave at about 6pm



Bring 2000 fans and we will throw in a free breeze!!!

Have a great day!

That only means that he may be the best [ieducated[/i coach in SL. There is a difference.

He's probably the most intelligent coach in Super League (do any of the others have a masters degree in economics?),



As Kosh says he might be the best educated, but not necessarily the most intelligent. In any case what does a masters degree in economics have to do with coaching rugby teams. Unless, of course, he's teaching them how to balance the household budget.

Also, if he is so intelligent, what on earth is he doing at Caravan Park?

Obviously he would pale into insignificance in the company of such an intellectual giant as yourself, Caravan as Opposed To Craven, see what you did there, have you ever done comedy proffesionally, or do you just treat us to your hilarious repatoire?

No, unfortunately I have to aim low when I post on here. Anything applicable to normal people would be lost on you lot.

5 year deal? What a cracking idea. I don't think the players would be pleased though, judging by the way they play for him.

Ah well, don't let us keep you, bye.

Wakefield seem pretty confident about this one, personally I think our chances depend alot on how the departing players perform, I think in recent weeks one or two of them have had one eye on the exit.

What makes me laugh is the comment clinton made in the paper " I want to go out on a high and get rovers to the play offs as they're great fans" slight slight problem Joel injured with hammy injury yep that's the way



I don't think wel win another game tbh

We played OK against Bradford but made some daft decisions in attack. We also fielded a lot of youngsters and we were still only 6 points adrift. Wakefield, even though they're playing well, don't have quite the same calibre of players as Bradford.

Yes, many of the Wildcats team are ex Hull/Rovers, so want to put one over on us, yes they are confident at the minute and yes they are highly motivated because they're trying to break into the top eight.

We should have players coming back from injury, our squad is at least as good as theirs, most of our games we have not been blown away (with a couple of exceptions

) and we're not on TV!



Everything is to play for, we're not out of this yet, far from it. We all remember leading at home to Wakey and letting them steal it with 3 converted tries in the last ten minutes, but the teams have changed a lot since then. Both teams are pretty evenly matched, although with my R&W specs on I'd say we actually edge it.

Come on people, game on!

Why did you have to bring that game up again. Twice they've done it to us IIRC. The rule is we don't speak of it then it wont happen again

Wakey will be so confident, where gonna have to start like a house on fire, which unfortunately is something we don't do very often. IMO it will be a close one this, but I think we could nick it.

I beg to differ!

Houses start by burning slow, then burst into an inferno and then slowly fizzle out!

Sounds just like Rovers to me

Is this the same as "one game at a time" ?

Ticket allocation sent over has been sold out not sure how many Rovers sent but should be a good Wakey turn out

Amazing what a few wins can do for the fans nice one be good to see a few wakie fans get urself to our fun day before the game see the Olympic gold medalist

Thanks for that I am an IT dummy just had a bashand got the below now any help gratefully recieved!

we've upset the apple cart again

Nothing like taking a post out of context.

Best away following for a couple of seasons, good effort.

the ex players certainly did well four tries was it.....although credit to kr fans for bens recption
