"The best prop in the league"

do you believe him?

smug? he's been integral to 2 CC wins and were getting a hefty fee for him after paying 30 grand for him.

I hope he finds some peace at cas as he's a great talen

He's a wasted talent. A narcissistic idiot.

gutted hes left us, but theres things going on we are not privy to, we have had 6 years out of him but the club is bigger than the player, wouldn't say its a wasted talent as hes still only 27 and has 2 cc under his belt,

He is a wasted talent in the fact that he should be an England regular and playing in the NRL he's better than both the young burgess brothers in my mind

2 Challenge Cup wins you say? I've not noticed you mention those before?

I haven't, they're run of the mill for a Hull fan

Agreed. I hope this is the shock he needs to finally start to take it all seriously and that he gets his head down as cas and achieves the levels I'm sure he's capable of. Brave decision by Hull which could backfire but you've got to admire their stance

Was a bit out of the blue it seemed? But as a neutral I would be interested to watch the game when Cas visit KC.

re hard;ly


But you're hardly neutral in that you'll support any team who are playing FC.

And I'm unanimous in this

I can’t help but feel that everybody at F.C. can’t believe their luck. With a good set of young props coming through and a chance to rake in a good pot of cash to offload ‘a troubled player’ it’s a win-win scenario!

Not luck, it's called investing money in the youth and eventually reaping the rewards, a bit like Leeds and Wigan have done for years.

But it's a fair point, we had a good few years off Watts and he played a big part in our recent success, lets hope he can improve himself off the field (and calm down on the field) and realise how good he could be.

Been released by 3 clubs now and none of them to do with his ability.

I've said this all pre season and all I got was sh*t off clever clogs on here! And how I've lost all faith in Sheens and think it's time we moved on, why we call him the wizard I'll never know, clown would be more fitting, we need some size in this league and we are seriously lacking we look like a football team

Leigh are proving how great of a job TS and the club did last year. Certainly looks like a wizard to me compared to what is happening over there right now. However, I do agree we have failed to add elements to the squad that we need. I personally don't think its because TS / NH / JP didn't want to or didn't see the need.

Good afternoon StanTheMan6,

The Championship competition is a lot stronger this year with a very good London, Fev, Tolouse and Toronto teams. If KR was is it this year, i do think you would still win the comp however it would not be the walk in the park it was for you last season.

I disagree I think it looks weaker

I think the fact he was binned off by his first club at 18 and 9 years later it's still happening says it all I seriously doubt he will change

I also disagree. I cannot see any way the championship is a lot stronger. London are performing well but their squad is the same or weaker than last year. Toulouse look to be improved but they didn't make the top four last year. Leigh are replacing ourselves. Toronto are obviously new and add to the depth in the league. I would say it is slightly stronger at best.

I'm sure Leigh were saying the same thing this time last year but I do not see anything to be worried about from the championship thus far. That may change if Toronto add a few more players but unless they do I do not see them challenging SL sides. Leigh still look strong on paper but have a hell of a job on to make the top 4. London we have already put to bed in friendly when we had a lot missing and they were at full strength.

I don't mean to take away from the championship as it is a very exciting league this year.

I am loathe to criticise TS due to his experience and vast knowledge of our game. In my opinion the thing we are lacking in Rovers play is speed and intensity, plus we have hardly had a settled side, we have missed the enthusiasm of Lawler and Donno, lost Addy, now Lunt. We look lethargic and seem to play with an attitude of well there's always next weeks game we can win.

Well, so glad the boys have made me eat my words..

You are fooling no one . One of many log ins. Bog off to HDM

Huddersfield are no mugs. On paper look better than us. Think taai ikafiakihikiio and dale were superb.Brough is a busted flush.But lots of strike in their team .Mamo missing possibly hurt them but from what I've seen n read he's stunk so far this year?We on here are fans and we can overreact and see faults but tonight the defense was immense the attack was sharp and the leeds and cats game we lost but had the lions share.lessons learnt it seems.Saints next week is possibly a pivotal game? We have beat them few time at ours and they may get beat up v Leeds tmz ? Mega performance tonight and to be enjoyed.

Agree with what you say about last night. Excellent defence when Huddersfield had the ball (especially at the start of the 2nd half, when they had about 4 sets on our line), and dangerous when we had the ball. Heffernan was outstanding in attack, Carney put in the hard yards, and though I'm not a massive fan of his Kavanagh had a great game.

Last night was a great team performance. And showed that there's spirit, belief and a togetherness in the squad. Wether that's enough time will tell, but as a fan it's great to see.
