We have just signed Brad Takairangi on a 2 year deal.A cracking signing imo.

Really happy with that.

Cracking signing IMO. Taking shape now Rovers!

Yes a big unit, 6ft 4 inches and 17 stone. He looked good in the NRL from what I saw of him and should do really well in super league.

As mentioned on the other thread, your best signing, experienced, right age and has a good fitness record.


A bit of pressure on Rovers for next season, experienced coach and some big signings, so big season for Smith as he has under achieved so far, got to be looking nearer the top than bottom with the money spent on players.

What pressure Dave? I would say all teams are under pressure Not just Hull KR.
You say an experienced coach has under achieved? ( The one a lot of you guy's said go and get lol at the back end of the season ) Any coach can only work with the players he has available?
Andy Last did a Cracking job for you guy's after taking over yet you have shoved him aside for an un known so I would suggest Hull FC have more pressure to try and compete with the top 4 as your owner insisted last season.
Kind Regards.

Yes all teams have pressure, but next year season should be different, cabt be happy with avoiding relegation have to be aiming for 6th-8th with your squad and coach.

The odd Hull wanted smith, not many probably more wanted Kearney and Andt Last. Smith won 3 games last season, he should be winning more games than that, it wasnt just the defeats apart from a couple of games after the break in was the manner of defeats. He can blame the squad and injuries but he put the majority of the squad together he got recruitment wrong in 2019. Budget wise you should not have finished bottom.

I like last, but it's the wrong time for him, too like Radford, needs to move to another club.

We finished 4th last year by the official rules I think and we should be aiming for similar, alot depends on our two signings

Fair play coming to challenge, unlike Angry Andy and the other one who sit in the safety of the private forum and slag off Hull and me personally without having the guts to come on here and be challenged or have an open debate.

What's this "private forum" Dave? Can I join it please, I feel like I'm missing out on something and it hurts me

You should join now, always a positive place in the off season, then SL starts.....

Still banned, one assumes...

Dave where exactly did Andy slag you off? I have searched and can’t find anything relating to you were the offending posts some time ago?

Don't be so clever Dickie...

Money spent on players?

Rovers will be well below the cap and one of the lowest spending teams. Money has been spent wisely though and I expect us to improve.

wouldnt take his spin to seriously

You will have spent more on players, look at your out goings and players coming in.

I said you should aiming for at least 8th

You will be spending more than Wakey, Leigh, Salford and about the same as Cas, which places you about 8th.

You have finished 11th, so 8th/9th would be an improvement, anything less would be a disappointment.

Not sure what I said was wrong?
