The departure of Rhyse Martin should send a stark message to the powers that be at Headingley. There may be a number of factors in Rhyse leaving, money, ambition, a lack of faith in the club etc. The takings will be down in the coffee shops of Headingley when he leaves, and he’d better get used to Maxwell House when he moves to Hull. I wish him well, but I think this is a defining moment for the club and it’s fans when our talismanic goal kicker and one of our best, most consistent players up’s and leaves to Hull.

Won’t be. Hull Derby will always be the biggest game for them and their fans. We need a Bulls resurgence!

You can have two big games a year, you know.

I agree. I think it's great that Rovers are at the top.
I honestly hope they win it.
It will be a proper two fingers up to the Lancashire mob - especially Wire, who think they have it this year (again....)
Yorkshire have been way behind Lancashire for too long, so good luck to Rovers.

But they do need a new stadium. It's a dump...

I think the majority of RL fans are interested in the resurgence of K.R. They certainly are a major player this year and I’m sure most neutrals would like to see K.R win Superleague if their own team can’t. Having said that, it still has time to go horribly wrong for you. An absolute shellacking in the play offs puts a big dampener on things and there is no guarantee of such a good season next year. Sounds like you’re heading in the right direction off the field and that can only be good for the game. Good luck for the rest of the season unless it’s against us.

A remarkable achievement coming up the table from your predicament of a few years ago. Obviously it benefits the whole of rugby league, best of luck to you all.
