Oh dear, not one academy graduate given a number in the first 17.

There are loads of academy graduates in the first 17. Just none of them from Rovers.

Still bothering you is it there's 11 in the squad if that makes you feel better

Don't feed the troll.

You do understand the concept of squad numbers and that they bare no relation to selection right??????

Looking at the squad, there Is a fair bit of depth in most positions, with only hooker looking on the weak side.
I'm a fair bit more optimistic than I was a few months ago, and really looking forward to the new season.
As for a few of the academy lads, it's up to them and the coaching they get if they want to make it this season. I can see a breakthrough for a couple of them this year tho.

How many will play 15+ games?

Cop out answer.

Cox and green are regular members of the squad particularly green and both have squad numbers in the 20's, (ex players numbers like Vella and Chester have been cited before as reasons) will that do for you????

I preferred it when the FC fans used to go on about crowds. Oh hang on, their crowds are down 3,000 in 3 years.
I preferred it when the FC fans used to go on about league position. Oh hang on, their big top 4 club could only manage 11th.
I preferred it when the FC fans used to go on about trophies. Oh hang on, they haven't won anything in years.

1865 should stick to his own forum and worry more about what the Allams are going to do next.
He could even try and find out why they have had to move from YPI and used the U19s as cheap
labour to try and get county road finished in time. I don't ever feel the need to comment on the FC forum.

G'Day, I am new to this forum and am new to Super league. I may well be the newest Hull KR fan. I do have a dumb question. These numbers that the players are given, are they the numbers that they will play in all year. eg, If number 26 is chosen in the starting team in round 5, will he wear number 26?

Yes, in the ESL squad numbers are given for the year. Think it was used to increase shirt sales etc, if your a fan of say Dixon and you buy a shirt with Dixon 1 on it then he'll wear 1 regardless of if he plays wing or fullback.

Why does it bother you so much?
