Some fans seem to be getting worried. but there's still such a long way to go to next season. Keep the faith.

The last time Rovers where an elite club I remember you had a perm, 'tash and wore a shell suit.

Calm down Calm down Keith.

I cannot believe that we can't produce a talented hooker from our academy. Over the years, that was a position our city excelled in producing, Flash Flanagan, & David Watkinson (York I think) spring to mind even relatively recently, when you recall the likes of Lee Jackson, Josh Hodgson (albeit a fledgling with us), Danny Houghton and now Jez Litten . Shame we let Mikey Lewis go to Rovers, I think he'd make a great nine, in the great Rob Borrows mould. RL is really struggling for quality at present, across the board. I watched Wigan v Leeds and, while it was entertaining, the actual standard of rugby was really poor. There seems to be a shrinking talent pool and we need to consider the Championship as an option for developing some talent. There are players there, some will be good enough and our scouts need to be scouring that league, and the amateur scene, for talent that has potential , if our academy players aren't up to scratch. It is worth remembering we plucked Danny Brough from that division and he turned out to be an outstanding talent, so there are players that can make it, even if they go like Danny Langtree, its not a huge investment and can pay dividends.

Plus he is the only one in our backline with a bit of pace

we should be going to Australia and try to persuade Josh Simm to re join us before he signs for anyone else.

Let him go to Cas. He's hardly pulling up trees in the Q cup

I agree
All the six ft plus athletes seem to be in Lancashire
its either the beans or the pies

How do you know?
Lets face it most young players from the UK who go and play in Australia enhance their game and some become stars.
My opinion is Simm will make a very good S/L player if and when he returns.
Good size and most important for an outside back or centre he has pace.

Why would someone sign for Hull FC unless you were paying overs or offering long deals?

We've got The Deep and Chip Spice.
