We've lacked belief and composure of late. Next year a few players will be a year older and a year wiser, but replacing Galea and Green with Paterson and Burns won't make us any more savvy, from what I've heard. Hopefully we'll get more game time from them, but we're going to be relying even more heavily on Dobson's direction by the looks of things.

Cheered me up a bit anyway. 2012 had the odd moment I sulkily forgot - putting 70 on Cas, nilling Widnes, pipping Wire, they just all feel a long time ago. Hopefully the experience (mostly of losing, but still) that the young players you mention have gained will stand us in good stead to move up the table a bit next year.

The signing of Paterson is a bit of a strange one. IMO you'd have been better off extending Galea for another year and giving Jordan Cox some more game time down the left.

I think next year will be similar to this for Rovers, finishing somewhere between 8th and 10th, but the year after with the kids a year older is when we'll see you climb the table again.

Not a problem sweet cheeks, I just get bored with morons such as your good self coming on here talking poop, when if a Rovers fan were to do the same on your board, they would be accused of obsession, or small club mentality. If I were to spit my dummy it would take your eye out, being pipped by the league winners won't bring that response I'm afraid.

I've been a big admirer of Galea, but I think another year might have been too far. Touch and go mind you.

I'm quite excited to see Paterson, looks like a player capable of the spectacular. We'll miss Galea's nouse (sp?) though - we don't have much to spare.

Almost the exact same situation as with Vella last year. It was time, but we've missed him if you see what I mean.

The way I see it, from comments that have been made, I get the impression that sandercock thinks we don't have enough aggression in key positions, which i could agree with, we have lacked an enforcer type player this year, and hopefully Paterson and Burns will give us this edge.

Wigan were toying with you. Instead of simply giving you the complete hammering which would have been predictable and boring they thought they would see how many points start they could give you before coming back to ruin your day. Hats off to them, they did it to perfection. I imagine losing that way hurt even more than just a straight tonking.

Have you sent your cheque off yet?

Cheers Nicky. I was pleasantly surprised by the East Stand's ovation for your team, but then we also did this 2 years ago - you appear to be making a habit of winning silverware in East Hull, you must tell us what it's like sometime.

Great support from Wigan yesterday, surpassing Wakefield & Hull to be the biggest following of the season. Lets hope you get a late season game next year and we can let you loose in the North Stand.

It was the best game I have seen at home this season (and perhaps stretching back a few more seasons). Well done Rovers and congratulations to Wigan on winning the LLCup.

I've just about got my voice back.
Really enjoyed the game, gutted about the result obviously but pleased with the effort & passion from the lads. Shame we haven't seen more of it throughout the season.
I was bawling my eyes out at the end, really felt for Scotty. Slightly disappointed not to hear from CS, thought he should have said a few words.

Neil Rudd went to interview him on the pitch and there were a few boos from the stand as he approached him. Sandercock had his girls with him and shook his head. Wise move I think.

I didn't see that. Thought it was strange that he didn't say anything.

Agree on all counts little robin,one player who i wont be sad to see is jake Webster wot a waste of time and talent! The photo on the HDM website showing Wigans last kick shows how bothered he is.

do you know official figures for away fans,would be interested to compare the above 3,also do you or anyone know why there are no official attendance figures for the Hull and Wakefield fixtures on the club website??????

Fcimp.You will be speaking from experience about getting a tonking off wigan,over 50 pts scored against you in both games.!

By responding to him you are feeding him oxygen!

No idea, but I have eyes.


9086 V Hull, 8726 v Wakefield, 8845 v Wigan.


No idea why they aren't on the clubs website, I don't work for Hull KR.

But it's a service to rest of society keeping him occupied on here, if only Gary Glitter could have been coaxed to spend time on RL Fans just think how differently things might have turned out.

Nice!

My mate went to a Gary Glitter concert when he was younger. Said he didn't know what came over him.

Early contender for post of the month.

A huge thanks also to all the Hull K.R. fans who have stayed behind to applaud the Wigan players #SLHKRWig

Wigan deserved the cheers they got, there not only the league champs but a pretty good team too. There great to watch when in full flight as we found out lol.

Yes I think they and their fans were totally taken by surprise by it, good stuff! Liked Lima thanking the North Stand too
