Cock is the word if you heard him on the super league show, the man is a disgrace, teams like batley shouldnt be given the extra funding they have earned should go to the super league teams. Batley have rebuilt there ground on the pittance they have received from the game so i would say the RFL would be better off giving it to teams like Batley rather than Cas and Wakey who have done exactly what with there grounds given they have received approx 20 million more. The man is a buffoon and i hope KR fans condemn his stupid remarks

peacock has had more sky money than batley

Have Batley rebuilt there ground at the end of the day they will always be a little club who draw less than a 1000 fans with no expected growth ever so wind your neck in and look at the bigger picture

What bigger picture? Propping up the small club in Hull?

you lot were in this div not long ago were you not, careful you may just be back there

I said it on another post the super league is not financed enough from sky that's why we only have 12 teams and where playing some teams possibly 4/5 times it ridicules and its the people who govern our sport and sell it to sky are blame.

There should be enough money to finance fully 16 teams in top tier with funding available for the next division and the coverage of matches by sky of that league also, this way the super league would not feel so inclusive and relegation of one up one down would give all clubs a chance to aim for the top, the very people who fund our game are the ones killing it and our powers that be are selling rugby league well short.
I think Batley and other great old clubs will go to the wall if their fans can not see a proper route to the top and some equally good funding to help make this happen, Union is laughing at league no one watches the clubs sides on sky but they get massive money put into it we are the poor relations due to inept governing body at least this present format gives some teams a bit of cash but by no means is it the answer or anything resembling one for any of us

Disgraceful what peacock said on the super league show, but what do you expect from a bloke that charges 2k to listen to him talk for an hour

I agree but we are a lot bigger club with a lot bigger fan base are Batley going to attract crowds of 6000 say if they were promoted no I've nothing against Batley there a very well run club but there at a level now which in reality is the highest they could ever go

Don't say that Jske you've just won the challenge cup

Funniest thing is you'll win nothing in the next 10 seasons.

Bet we do.

Challenge cup or grand final you won't.

How do you know strange things happen in rugby league, (you might win the grand final )

How could you possibly know that

So its gone from anything to something specific now, still conjecture at best.

You wont win anything after your Leicester year for another 10 years.

It's a fair assumption. What's another 10 years when the major trophy drought has been going for the past 30 years?

You'd only won one thing inside 30 years before this year, awful teams can have good years as you're now proving.

We've probably reached more finals since SL started, then you've been in your entire history, maybe Addy & Scruton will turn you into contenders, bearing in mind you've got to stay in SL to win the GF, so if you do stay up you will have a better chance of winning the 2 trophies I stated, fingers crossed eh!

Not quite true.
We've been in 5 major finals in the SL era, winning two.


Some history on Finals/Major Trophies:

Challenge Cup
Rovers have been in 7, winning just 1. 14.3% win rate.
Hull have been in 16, winning 4. 25% win rate.

Championship Finals / Grand Finals
Rovers have contested 4, winning 2. 50% win rate. (They did win 3 Championships as league winners too)
Hull have played in 7, winning 5. 71% win rate. (Also winning another Championship as league winners)

Total Major Finals (Challenge Cup & Championship/Grand Finals)
Rovers: 3 from 11 (27.3% win rate)
Hull: 9 from 23 (39.1% win rate)

Total Major Trophies (Challenge Cup & League Champions)
Rovers - 6 (1 cc, 5 league)
Hull - 10 (4 cc, 6 league)

Saints v Wigan final nailed on your grand final dream ended at 5pm challenge cup final day

The dream is still alive Frankie. Still battling on two fronts.

So basically we're both bald men fighting over a comb..

Seeing as you are able to predict the future with so much certainty, you should change your name to Mystic meg or even Nostradamus.
Either that or stop mixing your tea leaves with marijuana.

1991 premiership.



forerunner to the current GF, top teams only, considered at the time to be a premium trophy to win.
