Union quite rightly kicking off that only 10k allowed at Twickenham for the Premiership Final. Its a complete lottery.

Winning the next 4/5 games could put us in a really strong position in the league and with the remaining home fixtures we could get some decent crowds.

Rovers
Saints
Leeds
Cas
Wigan

Could see a real income boost if we are in form and in the play offs

You are facing a Bradford like crisis and the only way out is an immediate and substantial downsizing.

Right now you are spending about 750k more per season on players than Rovers which is similar to your annual loss.

For your extra £750k you have 6 wins and 5th place in Super League compared to Rovers 6 wins and 6th place.. Who is getting value for money?

The 'glory or bust' experiment has failed.

Hull Fc need to act now or administration awaits.

If this is as accurate as all your other predictions we will be fine.

C’mon Mrs. B lay into him, you smell the coffee more than anyone.
Being a Dobbins fan, you know more than anyone else about administration, 3 times the last count.

Fair Point!
In the past decade:
- Rovers have been to Wembley once and lost narrowly by the odd fifty points in fifty
- Been in the Championship
- Been in the Play Offs 2/10
- Received a ‘gift’ of a £1m from the Allam’s
- Lost their Owner
- Held a Fun Day

Meanwhile
- Hull have been to Wembley three times, won twice (at a place some assured us that we’d never win)
- Only played in the Super League
- Been in the Play Offs 6/10 times

So who is getting value for money?

Shows that the "new stadium plans" just a few months ago were pie in the sky

Were not a big club in the grand scheme of things

Were no bigger than a average league 1 football team

The sport has under sold its self for years and has finally caught up

Super league will be part time in 3 years thanks to clubs and RFL doing nothing to promote it

None of the rules during lockdown has made sense

10 people could only go to a funeral whilst millions coming through airports every day during lockdown

Parents can't watch their kids at sports day yet thousands can sit in the same stand at the euros

If people/businesses don't get together against this farce it will never end as they keep moving the goalposts even when the death rate is still below 50 every day!

Sadly I tend to agree.

I also wonder if an RL team would be lured by Union at some point. For example Saints have a great brand, own their ground and Union has minimal presence in the North West. There would be uproar of course but if it's a future of top class Union or part time in a dwindling RL league then it may get tempting...
