And in sport tomorrow, we understand that #Cas are ready to make an approach to Justin Morgan & the #HullKR board will let him have talks.

If he want's to go, let him. Unless Cas offer him more money, I can't see what he's got to gain by it.

More tripe and stirring from the mail

Wow, HDM to run a bad news for Rovers story the day after Dobson signs...didn't see that one coming

Well said, the dreamer team of stanley baxter, charlie "the strawman" mullan and mark " i want to have the babies of graham foster of sutton park" phewings, should apply for a job at the News of the world and get into a bit of phone hacking. Might get something right then.

It's amazing how you were all best mates in 2009!

I've disliked them for years personally, IMO the club should wash their hands of them, don't need them.

It seems to me there is a personal witch hunt conducted by the Hull Daily Mail against Justin helped by their partner in crime radio humberside.
They have printed stories for the last 3 weeks with no substance and with nothing in them that people didn't know already.

Course we do - every club needs their local rag at the end of the day. Isolating the HDM only isolates us from the public of Hull & East Riding.
The local media are all smegheads but we need them as much as they need us.

what is needed is an official statement from Hull KR on Justin Morgans position at the club,to stop all the speculation in the paper once and for all.

Not really.., the relationship between coach and chairman is somewhat strained...who would you rather have...?????

Hudge!

And we all know why it's strained and I'd go for hudgell all the way

"With a new 13,300-capacity stadium set to be opened for the start of the 2013 season, an impressive youth set-up and healthy financial position, the Tigers are a club which is seen as being on the up." All making sense now.

They havent even sold they're own ground yet have they and Morgan don't like bringing youth through so god knows how he gonna get round that,by looking at the cas site they don't want Morgan they want noble

Please explain why Hull KR need the HDM.
If the public of Hull & the East Riding need to read fiction there are plenty of outlets selling paperbacks. I would agree with you if there was any substance in the stories.
In his column on Sunday Hudgell said players had to prove to Morgan they deserved new contracts and wanted to play for the club. Nick Wood of the HDM said on RH this was the chairman undermining the coach. In answer to a text asking how it undermined him he replied something along the lines of because he said it. I think that sums up the quality or lack of quality of the sports writers at the HDM

Agree with you Aldy about the HDM stories, there is no substance in them at all, the story today (8thjuly).
nothing new said again.
Getting a little tired of reading "the mail understands" and "the mail believe"
Until there are any hard facts to report leave it alone IMO.

Do you not think the coach should be in charge of who gets new contracts then?

No, he should tell the board who he wants to keep and who his potential targets are, but the contracts should be left to those managing the club.

I must admit to having a chuckle every time I read another rant about the HDM and/or Blunderside on here.



I've had to wrap all my Irony-O-Meters in lead to protect them.

Correct.

If and its a big if Morgan goes to cas let him go we got on without Justin and we will get on without him again he has done well for us lets not forget that but their was a hull Kingston rovers before Justin and they will be a hull Kingston rovers after Justin life goes on

I'm not going to dispute that the Hull Daily Mail is pants but my original point was that alienating them, only encourages them to respond with a slightly angled negative spin. If they think they've been sidelined (which many think we have/should) - then we can expect more of this tat from them. It's their way at trying to make Rovers come back to them and give them the top scoops again. Local press are an evil necessity but we don't gain anything by black listing them.
Like I said they need us to help sell their paper and we need them to write controlled and balanced reports and limit any bad press as much as possible by working closer with them. 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer ...'

The Hull daily mail is only writing what a guy (didnt catch his name) said on rh last sunday straight after the win over wakey. If Justin goes then thanks for all you have done but the club moves on and the new coach coming in means the players will have a clean slate and will be picked on form and ability something that doesnt always happen at the minute. A few players are "comfortable" at the minute and they know it

Would any club react to the very poor and ill-informed journalism adopted by the HDM by giving them information and allowing access to its employees. Have you ever seen a report on either Hull FC or Rovers appear in the HDM as well written and informative as this Yorkshire Post article? www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/ru ... _1_3543912
