Okunbor isn't the player I had hoped for. He may get better or might not. But if you've played the game he isn't Windy. . Not one of those players from both sides are Windy. You can't play rugby at that level if you are.

The thing is, there's windy and there's windy. Anyone who plays the game isn't soft, it's a tough way to earn a living. However, some players are definitely braver than others and he just seems to lack that willingness to put his body on the line imo. Maybe I've got him wrong, but if feels like he gets about the pitch and gets through a decent amount of work, but it's all a bit half hearted. You can't go through the motions in this game.

I’d suggest 3 runs for 58 meters and thats inflated with a charge down is pretty lazy, first carry in the 31st minute for a second rower is a disgrace.

Sadly this constant living in the past is probably the reason your in this mess. Every single Rovers supporter is more than happy to keep progressing bit by bit, year on year. As for Hull they are lower than Rovers have ever been without the huge safety net of a points system you are facing oblivion.

What astounds me the most is why Hull fans buy the rhetoric and propaganda spines by Pearson every year and now his apprentice Tony Smith.

If and it’s a big if Pearson is telling the truth he has spent to cap, Smith should be sacked now buying the misfits he as.

3-5 years of this would destroy the most hardened supporters but that’s what the future holds for you.

We appreciate you concern. Now jog off there's a good lad

So he can get his mid morning nap

Oh poor things
Could it be that they were not considered to be up to the job that the coach demanded.
Say what you like about HKR they are miles ahead of us,not just financially but in quality players and a no nonsense coach who has the team very fit and made them difficult to beat with a tough defence.

Take a note tinkering Tony Tough defence

Possibly agree with most of what you say, these are tough times and we are certainly second best in the City. However, from a club that sang you'll never win at Wembley for 30 years living on a win in 1980 then 'Sadly this constant living in the past' is certainly hypocritical and a bit rich. Pretty good Trolling but be careful what you say.

Between 1994-2006 hull kr were a second division club, in fact in 1995/96 they were a third division club!
During that TWELVE year period hull kr flirted with disappearing into oblivion on more than one occasion, do the letters CVA mean anything to you?

Now, obviously, it's not going too well for us at the minute, but as we are tenth in the SL table we are not, therefore, a second division club, let alone a third division outfit as hull kr were in 1995/96.

Hence, your above statement is factually incorrect!

(Don't you just hate it when simple incontrovertible facts disprove flawed arguments!).

I remember the days Rovers temporarily became known as Hull CVA. I found it amusing up until the point it emerged local a charity were given 15p against every pound they were promised. As low as we are we haven't scaled the depths our neighbours have.

They are years ahead of us. They have brought in a good coach who has nailed his recruitment and they should be very optimistic. I'm envious, significantly.

I'm not personally in despair. I think we are a good coaching appointment who recruits well away from steadying the ship. It's that simple.

The less-so-simple aspect is our owner is out of his depth. He's not a crisis manager and I fear to pig-headed to do what is required. That's perhaps a little flippant, but as he's a none communicator we can only deduce our own conclusions on the the little comms we get.

Did HCC "gift" Caravan Park and the surrounding land to them or did they purchase it for a nominal fee? This deal was undoubtedly the catalyst for their resurgence. What is preventing HCC giving us and the Tigers a similar leg up at the MKM?

Is it true that Adam and Stan Gene got face to face angry after the game ?

Pele and Lane had 6 metres between them in the Derby

The problem KR have is there youth setups are simply not good enough and the constant spending isnt sustainable. Sooner or later the money men will demand more. Many money people try to buy the trophies in SL and it never happens.

I see them like we was from 2002 to 2005, we would beat teams below us with ease but could never beat the top teams. For me they still have way to go to be considered a top team in this competition. Be interesting to see how they get on over the next few months, the fixture list has being kind to them at the moment which has allowed them to generate some good momentum.

However all said comparing ourselves to the noisy neighbours doesnt help our situation, we need to focus on ourselves and not what is going on elsewhere.

Craven Park will have been purchased for a price that the council demonstrated fairly reflects its value. To do otherwise would be illegal/get blocked. Rovers acquired (I guess bought but cba to check back) options to purchase parcels of the surrounding land but haven’t exercised that option… or at least haven’t announced it if they have.

Given the different circumstances of the MKM and its tenants, I’m not sure what a similar leg up would look like. I’m sure the council would love to sell the stadium for a fair market value but I doubt City (never mind Hull FC) are going to make an offer. In terms of maybe sweetening the tenancy, they’ll want to keep that as arms length as possible. Councils across the country are struggling to deliver basic services, so the last thing they’ll want to do is take on additional costs or offer de facto subsidies.
