Who has managed to survive through administration and the hard times under it's own identity.

Now, presumably if you take a club with 100 years behind them and a large fan base, and merge these with a top 4 super league side, keep all the good players, the directors, coaches etc, offer that new club total and complete dispensation to the amount of over-seas players they can have.
Wipe off all their debts completely, build them a brand new state of the art stadium in the original City which has the 100 year old fan base behind them, let them keep exactly the same name and colours in order to appease any fans.....

and presumably you should have a world beating side right ?
WRONG - you end up with a side which despite all of this can only manage one cup win in the last 13 years. A side which is completely in the headlines for the wrong reasons - drugs offences, playing ineligible players, not getting players to sign contracts and letting them leave the club at their will, a club who pledge their support to the Women's centre in Hull then signs a convicted wife-beater the same week, a club which was run so poorly that the fans constantly shout for the head of the CEO, the coaches etc.
And of course the fans - to show their gratitude to the RFL for all that they have done to try to fabricate success at this hybrid club, they tear down goal posts, throw bottles at players, and brick the away fans' coaches.

Now, what were you saying about underachieving ?

The most fickle fans in Rugby League??? Les must have been one of the 869 that was at the Whitehaven game played at Caravan Park 6 years ago, I doubt he was bricking the Leeds coach though in 2008 as it went passed Crown pub because Les sounds like a perfect Dobbin, probably one of those that didn't want to rent the communal stadium when it was built but is happy to accept eight million pound in council and European hand outs to try and make his RENTED dump hospitable??
Maybe now your a successful club Les you could pay all the suppliers you robbed when you went into administration and keep your unblemished past intact? Fool!!

Hoooray, you admit it.
Rovers are a successful club

Sarcasm and facts are two different things Les!

Edited for accuracy.

He won't remember as far back as 6 years ago, he'll still have been suckling on his daddies teat.
