Weve allowed mediocrity to set in.
The fans are as bad at times when everyones championing fash getting new deals or naming houghton in their starting lineups week in week out when weve a fantastic young prospect in the cold.

As long as you put x amount of tackles in, are local or try abit , that seems to be the standard set.

What about attacking flair and creativity, its massively lacking right across the team as well as leadership, courage and discipline.

Until this club stops recruiting and retaining 1 dimensional/limited players were going nowhere especially with no expertise in the recruitment department or coach selection.

Invested heavily in youth, yet appoints a coach who would rather play a hooker whos admitted hes fell out of love with the game and cannot pass to a kicker on the 5th.

What was the Lewis Martin non selection about? Absolutley baffling, made some amazing plays in defence and been a shining light, but sacrificed so Tindall can play, what about earning the shirt? Could the woefully out of form Carlos not of come out and Mcintosh stay at centre.

Its just all very head scratching , chairman and coach not in tandem at all, and thats even before we address how weve got into our current halfback situation.

Think the best plan is Grix until the end if the season, then when we have a better financial situation Pearson needs to pay what it takes for a quality modern coach.

Good post. Completely agree.

I believe it’s called, return on investment.

Very to hard/difficult to argue against the points raised as they are a pretty fair summation of the situation and what a concerning number of fans are likely to be thinking.

KR got own ground now bought surrounding land promised Sewell, MKM(who wanted to invest in us) both promised contracts for building on surrounding areas if they invest which they have, James McNicholl former KR chairman Colins lad and multi millionaire ploughed 7 million into KR. All on the KR board plus more sponsors queuing up the get on board but our chairman refuses help and people joining the board and I wonder why, plus as an investor what you investing in??? we don't own anything of note.

KR got lucky by being granted a patch of land around a stadium that hadent been developed for decades. Hudgell tried and failed to sell Rovers for years before that happened.

We cant blame Pearson for lack of assets, he of course bought the club already locked into the MKM deal and theres never been the finances to build our own training ground.

The other factor that isnt directly Pearson's fault is the TV deal, had the game being managed properly we could have been in situation where the TV deal was increasing while the salary cap kept the costs down and clubs could be making a profit. Instead SKY have the game over a barrell and you'd have to be a diehard fan to throw millions at RL.
