I think the reaction to their demise is in some way due to the bullish way in which they entered super league.
Grudgell promised to take the city back, sign up the best young players and re-sign all those contracted Hull FC players that were desperate to join the dobbins. He then had his vanity signing in Paul Cooke, which was aimed as much at damaging Hull FC then strengthening the dobbins.
Allied to Justin Morgan, they were full of it.
I enjoyed their record breaking Wembley defeat.
I enjoyed them losing their only song this year.
I'll enjoy watching them lose players they'd liked to have kept.
What goes around comes around.

Well said Wilf. Incredible game, with probably the most outstanding finish to a RL game in many a year.

With you on this Wilf.

never good for anyone to lose their livelihood and I do feel for some of the employees involved.

That said, that ending couldnt have happened to a nicer fella in Neil Hudgel. For a bloke who comes out with such small minded comments I am glad his decisions (sacking a coach who eventually lead the least wealthy club to safety and the frankly poor decision to employ someone with zero management experience in Peacock) are directly responsible for taking them down.

As for many of their fans, lets see just how many are "rovers til they die".

It will all be in hand. Surely wouldn't be so arrogant they assumed safety and didn't have a Plan B in place. There'll be some absolute quality available in the transfer market though, they had several corkers in the pipeline ready to announce if they won today apparently.

I was just thinking that. If we didn't re-sign Michaels he would have been a brilliant capture but don't think would have enough cap space. I wouldn't mind Greenwood as well

Todd carney available now?

Maybe we should have waited before extending Steve Michaels contract.
Sio would be an excellent signing and if Carney stayed fit one of the best.
Still think Danny Brough would be the answer

Isn't Sio going back to Australia?
Thought his family were already back there.
Todd Carney I wouldn't bother with. Picks up too many injuries, and still question marks over his temperament.
What about Cockayne as cover for full back and interchange hooker?

You here all week?

Despite what he's been saying in the press today's result might have benefited him. Now Rovers are in the championship he's more likely to get a contract than if they stayed in SL as he's clearly not good enough at that level anymore.

Think he'd fit in well with the culture Radders is instilling

Would give the Kids a run out too!

Think what that game today proved, was how good having relegation and promotion back again, what a great game

If Carlsberg did Superleague endings

No need, Peacock's just delivered the first year of their five year plan with interest.



Work on the next part of their demise starts on Monday.

Rumors Sika might be heading home ?? , So cap issue might not become a problem .

It wouldn't surprise me to be honest, I like sika, but always got the feeling he didnt seem as happy as the other overseas players

Hope not true but if it is I wouldn't mind Savelio if he's available or James Greenwood.

Until anything is confirmed by the club this should not be discussed on here.

It's a social media forum. Get over yourself.

Sums you up perfectly with a comment like that.

=#FF0000Actually he's right. Please keep a lid on speculation regarding player health issues as it creates stress for players and their families.

There's a rumour circulating that when rovers relegation is ratified by the RFL, all player contracts become null and void, and they become free agents. Tough times indeed.

AS far as I know its not a rumour its part of a Super League contract, which stops being a contract when a team is no longer in Super League!

It's probably in their interests to have such a condition in the players contracts. They've got to counter that £1m shortfall in RFL funding somehow.
