'Thus I am tormented by my curiosity and humbled by my ignorance.' from History of an Old Bramin, The New York Mirror (A Weekly Journal Devoted to Literature and the Fine Arts), February 16th 1833.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_33809.png

Quote: robinrovers10 " When you say smallish, would you like a team of 6ft 4 18 stone players? '"


I would love that, so much. Lads who look like those statues on Easter Island and are similarly mobile.


Quote: robinrovers10 "Our best players are Quinlan, Hall, Hauraki, Crooks, all are small in regards. Look at Catalans who have a team filled with size and weight, but can be awful at times.'"


At times. Most teams are awful at times, but mostly not quite as often as Hull KR have been in recent SL seasons. Catalans won the cup last year and currently sit in a play-off spot - if that is the price we have to pay, then so be it.

I’m not saying we can’t have [iany[/i smaller, skilful players, but surely you must be tired of us getting gubbed about the park most weeks for the last 5 years. If it worked and we had quicksilver boys with flaxen curls, skipping with exuberant grace just beyond the grasp of their clumsy leaden-footed opposite numbers, then I would very quickly stfu. But it hasn’t been a recipe for success.

Also, Quinlan is definitely one of our best. The other three have their plus points, and I like them. But i’m not sure they are among our top 5 (you’ll be unsurprised to hear I rate Masoe and Garbutt more highly), and I think they probably wouldn’t be in the first choice team for at least half the clubs in SL. Which is part of why we’ve won joint fewest games in SL this year.

Beaten who? Hull or Rovers? Hull and Rovers would have both comfortably beaten that saints outfit today.

Quote: eastul105 "Well Id rather noone went down super league is very exciting this year, even more so after today, but god the qualitity is dreadful, us vs giants was awful quality as have so many of the games I've seen this year(and I don't just mean our games) I have a feeling we're going down and I honestly won't miss super league as it stands. I fear the game is in free fall so many poor teams, relegation as a treat means teams make short term choices, we should have stuck with licensing but made teams meet strict criteria to stay in, reserves, support of local amateur game, academies, facilities, business proitabilityand yes performances on the field. I clearly don't have the answers but the game is dying in the UK'"

Not a Rovers fan but have to agree Some stability financial and playing rosters can go some way to improving SL.
interesting comments from Mr Schofield today ' even if Leeds bottom at end of the season'no way shall they be relegated'

Holbrook should be deported immediately back to Kooragang Island.

I didn't vote Brexit for jokers like him to come swanning over here, fielding his under 16's in a SL game, taking the mick out of all the hard working, traditional clubs like Rovers. Elstone should give us 4pts, it's only fair.

I've heard people saying "the game is dying" for the past 124 years.

Licensing/franchising, whatever it was called, was boooorrrring. 10 games in and half the league had nothing to play for. Franchising only works if 80-90% of teams are operating at a similar level, like the NRL.

There's no reason we can't have P&R but with criteria in place too; obviously finishing top/winning the playoffs, mandatory Academies, Reserves, Foundations, and x stadium capacity. Revenue & attendances are too hard to judge, as promotion would see both increase.

I'd also put central funding restrictions in place for clubs which don't operate Ladies, PDRL, LDRL & Wheelchair RL teams.
