Yeah got to admit is a good idea that. Fair play.

it is a good idea. I wonder how they will price it

Great idea.

Nice to see Rovers putting something back into the amateur game and giving these lads the chance to play against the pro's.

Would have liked to see Hull FC do a similar thing but it seems you've beaten us to it.

Anyways on last years performances we'd have got beaten and badly. Thorman would have been playing for Pint & Pot next year after been shown up by the amateurs!!!



I for one will be at this game for sure, smart move by Morgan I think. The amateur kids will be really up for it and although they won't have the skills or pace to beat Rovers they are likely to physically give them a good workout.

Seems KR are making strong bonds with amateur rugby in the city after years of FC having a monopoly over which kids come through.

I hear East Hull will be moving from there Rosemead Street base to Craven Park in the near future too.

It is a good idea and hopefully will see a very decent crowd at a time of the year when fans will be wanting a rugby fix. Another fixture versus Hull with one game each side of the festive season would have been another shot in the arm for the amateur game locally.

Esat Hull relocating to the old Issac Newton School just behind craven park i think

So are East Hull

Yeah East Hull are relocating onto that field which I am told will be barriered off and be used for Hull KR academy matches etc etc

Well thought out money spinner. Well Done.

Would be more impressed if money went to amateur clubs and Hull KR's Education and Sports Trust alone.

This would then stop idiots pointing out that this is just another result of rovers financial woes and pursuit of much needed cash




I am a cabbage

With the money been split 7 ways, it is hardly going to be a money spinner for Rovers is it. The goodwill could be immeasurable though.

the money hkr get will probably cover the costs of putting it on.

Be good to perhaps a East Hull v West Hull U10's game beforehand

Not if theres an all in brawl

Why not 'thats a good idea, lets do it as well'

There's a headline saying who has made the Mail's amateur dream team in today's mail. I can't find it anywhere can someone list the team?

Who IMO on his day is the best secod rower in the city in the amateur ranks.

Paul Stamp is no longer amateur

No Chris Stephenson? What a joke. The best 6 in Hull for years including when Mark Hewitt came back to Amateur

Didn't turn out for Dockers on Saturday....maybe a long term injury ??

His brother didnt mention it today when I asked if he was in the team.

And where would this be played? Im sure Duffen would allow it at the community stadium during a packed xmas for Hull City

Back at Boulevard maybe?

Stephenson has been without doubt the best amateur off half in this city for the past few years and, in my view, didnt get a fair crack of the whip when he was Rovers.
However, having seen him recently he looks a shadow of his former self and isnt a patch on Matty Danville at the minute.

are you off your head? stephenson is one of the best half backs in the amature game and he wont look a patch when he's been playing injured (also the reason he aint playing at the moment). also cant see how martin johnson has missed out. but i think you could go on all day about what amature side you could put out there as hull is a hot bed for amature rugby league
