Good to read the clubs well passed 6k pass sales. In the current climate and our performances in recent years I think it’s a great effort so far.

Agree that 6k sales is a good effort, I thought we'd have been a good thousand down before Pearson intervened and sacked Hodgson.

That said while times are hard, at £280 for a East Stand season ticket it makes it £21.50 a game, which I think is good value, you'd struggle to have a decent night/day out for that these days. Also provides something to moan and banter about all week long too!

There's a clear contrast between the ' let's ease into it and avoid injures' approach of Tony Smith's Hull FC and the ultra intense, start early and keep the foot to the floor philosophy of Rovers Wille Peters.

Tony is a nice bloke until you disagree with him but I feel he is a tad out of touch with the the modern ways of Rugby League.

Only time will tell.

It will be interesting to watch.

Will the head coach with a proven track record of turning clubs around succeed or the enthusiastic assistant coach in his head coach role come out on top?



But seriously I think both clubs are in a block of teams that could finish anywhere from 5th to 10th. Depends on injuries and how the two squads react to the coaching changes.

Same could be said for Willie Peters but in a different way.

Our club specifically has a problem with starting well then dropping off in the Summer though, something has been wrong with our approach for years now. From a Marketing perspective it better to win games at the end not the start, people forget the early season poor displays. The end of season horror shows linger all winter.

ACL and Achilles injuries have become prevalent in the modern game. I think you’ll find that nearly all RL teams will have a slow steady build up to the Christmas break and then intensify training afterwards. It’s probably you that’s out of touch with modern RL. Willie Peters is unused to preseason training in a British winter, Aussies are used to warming down in outside swimming pools.
