Too early to write off Sam. Remember he has come in as a rookie coach into the established Wire hierarchy and culture. 


He has to work with an ex-water carrying CEO who is only interested in fads, marketing, and seeing his name in the press and our 2nd most important position, DOR, is filled by a prop forward who spent his entire playing career in a sub 50% win ratio Warrington side. Add in that we have a chairman who dabbles in recruitment matters, it's hardly an optimal set up is it? 


True that Hull FCs recruitment of late seems better than that of Warrington and Myler seems to be doing an effective job as DOR,  but my point was about the transformation of Hull KR. It's very similar to the transformational change that Tony Smith brought in quickly from 2009-2012.


Whether Hull KR can break the hegemony of Wigan/Saints/Leeds remains to be seen. I for one, will be hoping they do. The game needs it. 

We should certainly be looking on with green eyes at Hull with their.. *checks* one point more than us.

Yes green eyes at Hull KR perhaps. As we are 6 points and miles off them. 

They have done very well, with some shrewd signings and a great coach in Peters.

With the exception of Lewis (Who they only got by default because Hull FC rejected him),  they haven`t produced any of their current 1st team.


This situation is completely unstainable.


Doubt if Peters will stay in Super League, when the NRL clubs show interest in him, so their recent improvement could be built on sand.

Yes Peters must have eyes on an NRL top job. Assistant coach at South Sydney under Bennett, then assistant coach at Newcastle then Hull KR. 


Re sustainability - why could they not continue what they are doing?  Quite a number of Hull born players in their overall squad. 

Yes, there are Hull born players in their team but I doubt if the current FC regime will be as unprofessional as their previous one and will retain the young players instead of discarding them.

As I mentioned previously, except for Lewis all the other Hull born players in the KR team were from the FC Academy.

How many points did they finish behind you last year?

Watching the Tigers against St George and what’s stood out for me is the video ref. Couple of decisions I’ve seen would have been looked at for half hour here. 

Here we go, is every try going to video ref, miles on side. And the stupid pending graphic for the love of god just give the decision. The last game today will kick off at midnight.

Are leigh resting anyone ahead of the semi? 

Didn’t look like.
