Salford have released Chase, Fages (Saints?), Paterson (Leigh bound) and Hansen (Catalans?).

Should we be interested in Rangi?

He is undoubtedly a game-breaker IF his head is in the right place.

Could be a solution to (1) full back or (2) loose forward.

I met him when he played for Cas, when he was enjoying his rugby, and came across as a grounded individual. Then all the hype surrounded him. Maybe he needs a family-oriented club like Rovers to revive his flagging stock.

At the right price I would offer him a one year contract with an option.

Not for me I'm more than happy with our backs we need forwards

NO way let him go back home never liked him when he was at cas or playing for England no thanks he is Trouble big time

Who do you think should leave and who do you want to replace them?

I wouldn't go near him, he for me is the reason the teams he plays in finish near the bottom of the table. He's not a team player, moments of brilliance interspersed with over flamboyant drivel. He looked lost at FB when we played Salford and don't see him as a loose forward. He might do well in a saints or wigan but to put him in a mid table side would be suicide.

Sums up how I feel TBH

No way should we touch him chase has more baggage than a north sea ferry.

He's a Bailey Mk2. Would destabilise our club and undermine our team spirit.

Can't comment on the North Sea Ferry analogy, as I haven't been on one for over 20 years. As a flyer, however, I can say with some certainty that Chase would carry more baggage than the entire Ryanair fleet would at any one time nowadays.

Rovers have been under cooked fitness wise at the start of the previous 2 seasons so for me Mallinson and his whole team need replacing and overhauling.
Fitness coach
strength & conditioning coach
wrestling coach
all these (not sure who is in individual roles currently) need to be replaced or procured prior to pre season otherwise the players will not be prepared for the new season.
As for the defence, isn't that Pochings current responsibility? i think there is enough evidence this season to argue that the lack of consistency and some massive scoreline against Rovers means he is currently struggling with this role.
That said defence would improve along with improvements in the areas for the other coaches i highlighted, i'm just not confidant its enough. I'm not sure who to replace them with but hopefully Peacock will have input and help sort out the shortfalls.

Of course you can't comment on the north sea ferry analogy you probably have you own yacht moored somewhere

I'm getting worried that he might have a secret beneath volcano lair, I can't compete with that...

Yacht. Forget it. Any spare coppers nowadays goes to Mrs PR's wardrobe and my vintage wine collection. I wish.

If I had the money, I would definitely invest it in Hull KR though. I would also upgrade to a Gold membership for me and Mrs PR and subsidise deals for those posh Hull Pies and Wold Top Bitters and Lagers to be sold at sensible prices at the stadium on matchdays. I'd also order some bigger custom made shorts to cover up Bobby Blairs bum cleavage.

This sounds like a campaign for election

Don't make promises you cant keep or we'll have to call you Dave. You don't have any pig related stories in your closet do you?

G Horne has signed a one year deal with a one year option, will be announced tonight or tomorrow. I was talking to him tonight an our open evening, good guy to chat too, positive about both clubs in particularly hulls recruitment and even the academy merger.

Don't worry. It only functions as an off shore tax haven at present.
He's cashing in his Volkswagen shares to have a submarine pen built on it. Then he's employing Heston Blumenthal especially to deal with you.

See it was announced about an hour again, ruined my inside information. And I was so pleased with myself.

One other thing he said would be that Rovers won't be running an under 23s side due to lack of players and cost.

Doesn't make much sense for us to run a big squad at this time. And the kids that aren't ready are better flying the nest - look at young Robinson, he's played pretty regularly at Fax.

The problem is that kids start at SL clubs then are seen to have failed by 'stepping down' a level.

A more sensible approach would be to progress from, say Skirlaugh or West Hull, to York or Doncaster, then to Rovers or Hull. Then to Leeds or Wigan



We spend whatever we do on our academy then George Lawler rocks up from West Hull. Shaul was at Skirlaugh iirc, and Lineham was picked up from York.

I don't think academies are a particularly efficient system. the RFL would be better off taking money off the SL clubs, and investing in the grass roots. SL clubs could then scout for mature talent rather than focusing their efforts on teens.

Got to agree with what you say i have watched all the Q 8s ans seen 3 or 4 players in the championship teams that might make it in super league but will they get a chance

Any rumours from yesterdays 'party on the pitch'?

Wasn't a rumour I heard yesterday but if Sinfield doesn't like Union he's coming to us apparently

good player sinfield

Wonder what position he would play in union, one of the half back roles I'd suppose.

Big sponsorship from Siemans I was told by someone, hopefully true. Mind you it's been a rumour forever !!

Heard yesterday that we are looking to sign prop Luke Ambler from Halifax.

This info came from the same source that told us that Welham was leaving to sign for Bradford a week or so in advance of it becoming common knowledge.

Rumour only and don't know how true it is. Is Ambler any good?

i heard tough guy ronnie pickering on a three year deal
