the Super League season, your thoughts.

Feeling very positive to date towards both our on and off field and also surprised....we were promised survival, consolidation and challenging but even the progress of our club has left even the most optimistic fan aghast.

On the park most fans would have taken a second position and a quarter final placing come the start of May and with more luck with injuries we could have seen HKR top of the league in only our third season in the top flight.

Despite the current economic climate looking round the ground it appears our advertisers have remained faithful and with three co sponsors of the game the other week that side of the off the field activity appears to be holding its own.

The most pleasing aspect above all appears to be our youth structure which appears to have had a complete overall during the past few months and the academy side appears to have some very promising talent amongst it.

Its certainly a great time to be a Rovers fan....COME ON YOU REDS.

The team has been more consistent , previously in SL we had difficulty in getting back to back wins.

The defence has improved and our attacking flair is now evident.

The lack of warm weather pre-season training is now a forgotten issue due to the team performances.

We have improved strength in depth across the team now.

Oh . and I quite like the new away shirt.

Don't forget your coach broke a super league record aswell with his fine.

Do you really want to get into a tit for tat about our two coaches?

Was he the first Super League coach to have the balls to speak out publicly about yet another shocking refereeing display then ?

or was he just the most Naive

The lack of response is both deafening and telling.

The best you could say about Agar is the off-spring of one of our favourites

oh and more of the same Rich

I'd love to but I've been banned by james rule

You as well?.... no wonder he is called Rule.... but for how long?

This is a thread about about how well you're doing after 4 months not about hull fc.

Incidently after 4 months hull city were flying in the premier league and look at them now.

Knowing our look about 10 years

Soz mate, my spelling is poor but 'luck'

Did it take them 4 months to play the first 9 games?

Performance wise we're nowhere near IMO. We've been scrappy and got lucky with things like Drew going off injured in the first set of the game against Wakey and Orr going off in the second half at Quins...etc.

However you can only play what is in front of you and you ride your luck when you get it.

Today we'll sing about going to Wembley but we've played a poor Celtic side and been drawn against Sheffield which should be a walk in the park however when we meet Saints/Wigan...etc thats when we'll see if we are Wembley class.

Getting the results maybe what matters in the SL but if you want to be a consistent side like Leeds, Saints, Bradford and Wigan you need to do more than scrape ugly wins against sides that are unlucky with injuries.

Many neutrals say that our high flying season just shows that the Super League is losing quality with the loss of the Aussies due to our quota and federation trained players rules. On the flip side of this the rule highlights players like Galea and Vella and the league only gets quality rather than quantity, but are there team mates of the quality of the "average" Aussies that were coming over previously?

I will however more than happily take an ugly Challenge Cup Final victory, win the league leaders shield with lucky wins and win the SL Trophy with biased ref's calls!!!!!!!!

dont need class to get to wembly mate did you see last years runners up

Do you carry a hose on bonfire night as well?

do they only play 27 games in a season?

No.

Successful teams have extra rounds of the Challenge Cup and then go on to play the play off matches.

Looks like a busy season for one of our teams

very positive.
playing good rugby, a joy to watch, consistency also.
i'm very happy

.

All of which count towards League position of course.

You'd make a good politician you know.

Did nick hkr just use the words "Bradford", "Wigan" and "consistent" in the same sentence?
