He basically made his own position last year with his work with the younger players, and this year he was offered a similar role with a new title and a heap more resources.

He was technically one of three assistant coaches last year, but his role was basically to bring on the rookie players to firstgrade level.

He wasn't 'not wanted' by Bennett. Bennett made up a whole new job description just for him to continue with his work with the younger players, and with a heap more resources to boot. The Knights were very disappointed to lose him, and are now paying good money to a top level coach to do the job he had on a plate if he wanted it.

If you are correct it just goes to show you can't believe everything you read in the Newcastle Herald I guess

Must have been a really tough choice between having this fantastic, money no object role in Oz, working for a billionaire with virtually unlitited resources, or tipping up in east hull with a fan for a boss who undermines you at every turn, with little or no resource to play with.

Either sandy is really dumb or maybe it wasn't quite as rosy an offer as our roopy friend is telling us

You do know it’s wrong to use your parent’s username and password don’t you?

I know it’s the holidays but you must have something to do, why don’t you see if one of your friends want to play out!

Roopy is our friend, he ain't no friend of yours. Stick to bumming Sheldon.

Head coach or junior development officer - tough choice for a career coach.

He actually tossed in a good job as a senior teacher in a private school to go coaching full time as an assistant, so i suspect money isn't his prime motivation.

I see that although swearing is banned on the Hull KR forum, homophobic abuse seems to be fine.

Roopy is my friend, I played a game with him and he also showed me photos of his grandchildren with the kangaroos...

Best buddies us

It's not abuse, its a statement of fact. If you don't like it, use the door.

It makes me laugh on a regular basis this one.

Despite the fact that roopy's watched all grades of Newcastle for over forty years, Hull fans know more about his club because Craig Sandercock used to work there and is now our head coach.

They'll be telling us they'll be challenging next year again soon.

Nailed on champs next year.

Chumps more like.

ZING!

Nice work, mini lugged one.

I'm hung like a donkey but it won't reach to australia

Hey, good one. Not seen the "let's pretend you're at school" put down for at least a day now.

Maybe he really is a stupid as we think he is

Ehab Allam is buying Rovers, announcement at half time vs Leeds, along with the proposal for a massive luxury hotel and sports academy, 16 squash courts, I think. As homage to his Egyptian ancestry, it will be based on the Luxor hotel in Vegas, a massive red and white Sphynx at the entrance.

Dont know about the sphynx but you could be correct about the first bit

I so am. Don't forget the vital importance of the owner being a lifelong fan of the club. We've heard little else since 2006.

I've not heard that.

1984. No one has ever said that.

1983. What?

Why would they buy kr ? Im not trolling im seriously scratching my head for a reason

To plough money into us and make us as successful as Wigan.
