I noticed when looking at the criteria for the grading last week that performance only accounts for 25% of the overall score. Whilst I agree that the other criteria are important, nothing should be more important than performance. Should be 50% of the grading with the other areas making up the other 50% combined in my opinion.

I'll help you all out. 2026 recruitment is already well into the final stages, we have back up and good back up in every position with a group of 5 young kids all been nurtured to play 2025/26 and not thrown to the wolves, all part of the progression at Rovers. When we lose a player like Minchella for two games we had Dean Hadley who covered and we won both games against very good opposition. There are no real weaknesses in the Rovers squad and with MM and JWH we have some proven leaders/winners that will take us through 2025 in a better place than this year. Martin in the second row and his goal kicking solves a problem when we lost 3 games to goal kicks, we only lost 6 games in the league all year. Replacing Ryan Hall is a biggie, he has been immense but as Catalan don't really use wingers as wingers, Hall's replacement will be more than adequate. Signing the young forward from Bradford was real coup for the club fending off Warrington, Wakefield, Leeds and the mighty Hull FC? for his signature. Bill Leyland after a year with the Robins will be a shrewd deal given his Matt Parcell similarities. I don't think we have any worries about being in more finals in the coming years. The trophies will come before you lot living in the past join in but the more important thing is the sound financial position Rovers are in, (Cold Play how do we do it) players wanting to sign for top teams as evidenced above will only be enhanced with the signing of the best prop forward in the NRL, JWH. He has already help attract 2 significant signings for 2026 of the caliber you can only dream of. And then there Myler's Misfits, I'll leave the post there for you to drool over

The drugs must be strong in east hull

At least the internet is back up and running on Preston Road

and still they haven't won anything

Matt Peet has described Rovers as an almighty team and an almighty club. He expects Rovers & Wigan to be in many more finals in the coming years.

He 's right. Rovers are doing even better off the pitch than on it. With increased capacity in 2025 Rovers WILL be the best supported rugby team in the city and of course there will be two 25,000 crowds when Coldplay visit Craven Park. What an amazing and extremely lucrative coup ..and goes to show what an amazing board we have.

There is a whole new generation growing up in Hull and they are supporting Hull Kingston Rovers

For now we'll make do with the Clive Sullivan trophy the Roger Millward trophy, the man of steel trophy and the coach of the year trophy. Make no mistake Hull Kingston Rovers will not rest at that.

Thanks but with due respect you have a Rovers forum for rovers posts so please discuss them elsewhere.

And you've still won f*ck all since 1985

Please stop quoting him.

'It's always your year, It's always your year, same as last year, It's always your year'

'Since 1985, Since 1985, you haven't won a trophy...'

PS. When Danny Houghton was named MOS in 2016 it came on the back of a moment which was decisive in our club winning a major trophy. Unlike 'magic mikey' who went missing when the big stage beckoned, as your club has now done for two years in a row. See if you can make it a treble near-miss next year, keep us all amused

10th is a realistic target .

The recruitment is mediocre at best .

EseEse will move on if he has any sense. I can see him wanting to sign for Rovers in 2026 as he is settled in the area.

The tin of brasso you bought from the Reckitts shop all those years ago is still unopened. Have you checked the expiry date?

Think it only had a year’s shelf life, so it expired on 31st May 1986.

Judging by his posts, I think he drank it years ago.

Ha ha I've actually got a bottle of Hull KR Loch Lomond Whisky (sold out much like games at CP)) still unopened waiting for the day when Rovers win a MAJOR trophy again.

I reckon I won't have to wait too much longer.

Either way at least I'm not in 11th making fun of a superior team and club in 2nd.
