[i:1xcgd8r4HKR ( already have a Hull fc in super league who seem to compete for major honours a bit more, KR probably have a strong fan base but not like a Leeds, Saints or Warrington. Hull derby probably would be missed for television but think super league would be fine without KR in super league .

As I said I don't want to disrespect these other teams but imo it would be a better outcome for all apart from the club that is relegated obviously relegation is not good for anyone involved with it but unfortunately that's sports major sports have it and it creates entertainment and money so someone has to suffer it.'"

This board is free for anyone to make an opinion, without which we'd have a very dull forum and only talk about RL results etc, maybe the odd milkchurn or coffee table.

With an inflammatory thread title as this one you really are going to get polar opposite opinions which are bound to be heated. Just because someone calls you out with their take on it doesnt mean they are getting personal, it means they have just as strong a feeling / opinion as you.

Frankly, im no Hetherington mega fan but sheesh, where would we be without him? He's already handing the running of the business over to others and is deffo on the outer after a long reign so maybe theres an over reaction to him at this current time, yes he has responibilty for some of the issues we are having but be careful what you wish for, youll miss him when hes gone.

They're not excuses they are the reasons. And its mis management.

when was last time kr competed at high end of super league like 2009? Finished fourth, you got embarrassed in 2015 challenge cup final, like I said I wasn't disrespecting any club just giving my opinion on each club, sometimes you need to generate your own wealth and success something I see hull KR struggling to do and haven't looked like doing since being in SL.

Actually I'd put kr close to the top of the mid size teams. They get decent crowds when they go well and the hull derby is a big game for the sport.

Aside from Bradford, who are a special case, p&r really only exists for two heartland clubs - Leigh and Widnes. It doesn't give 'hope' to fev, Batley etc - they're too small for a fully pro world.

A thread title of Hetherington Out is stupid and childish.
Forcing out a long term and highly successful CEO and shareholder mid-season whilst he’s handing over his role in a responsible and logical manner is stupid, childish and incredibly knee-jerk.

As is the use of terms such as “past his sell by date” and whinging about not being allowed an opinion.

CATALAN and SALFORD we will beat

SAINTS and WIRE we will lose


SO i reckon we need to beat one of MIDGETS or LONDON to avoid relegation

PROBLEM Poor record at MIDGETS and not good on PLASTIC

We can only be concerned by the next game that's the most important cos it's the next game and it could potentially move us to 8th.

We need an effort like we got at Castleford from everyone and I include the fans in that because I thought the South Stand was really quiet for most of the game Sunday.

We should beat Saints B team

Not a chance Saints will rest players against us. Not a chance.

The week before the Challenge Cup Final in what will be a dead rubber for Saints? We will see, I think they will.

Ok, let's simplify this - What does removing Hetherington from his post achieve? Having an answer to that is the difference between a "well thought out view" and a "knee-jerk reaction".

As others have noted, he is more than likely retiring in the next couple of years and in the process of handing over elements of his role to Sinfield and, one presumes, Rob Oates.
