How did James Rule help save our club?

|  Do you mean this isn't the Hull board?
All this time I've been thinking I'm on here trolling with a handful of other Robins. |

I'm just trolling one of our trolls. I think he'll find that JR had nowt to do with "saving" our club, but was interested in the response.
Anyway, back on topic. Rovers eh?

Totally agree, and for that reason alone, I won't be throwing any toys out of the pram over the last week's media coverage. You take the rough with the smooth. Its hard to get the media interested in RL, but we have managed it this week, some coverage by design, other coverage by balls up/accident/opportunism* (delete as appropriate).
I do think Rule would have been better giving a "I won't be commenting on other clubs affairs" to MW, but given Hudge's past form that may be "pot/kettle" a wee bit. |

I agree absolutely, RH for all its faults is intersted in Rugby League and gives it a lot of air time that we otherwise wouldn't get. We talk of becoming a big sport ala football but moan at the slightest bit of bad press. Football teams get micro analysed by the press and any small comment gets blown up and talked about for days continually (talk sport).
Rule was asked a question which he answered and to be fair to him he never really had a pop. I really like hudge but had the boot been on the other foot I'm certain he would have been a lot more frank with his comments.
The press have slightly pee'd on our chips and deflated the feel good factor but lets be honest we have bought them the drinks and errected a balcony to allow them to do so..
Provided we get it all sorted, Dobbo back playing and Willie on top form it will all be forgotten about in no time, until then at least we're in the press for all the reasons.. |

You're welcome. The credit for saving the club goes to the ex-Gateshead board. JR has no doubt helped push us forward, but he's not the saviour |

HOW on earth do you get NILLED at Wembley ?
When your coach isn't a winner at heart and Gentle is not a winner at heart .
We were a pub team
I coached for a long time and we won 95% of games because winning is a mental state driven by a desire to CRUSH an opposition. Did FC look as though they wanted to Crush Wigan and strangle them until they screamed ? NO
RL is a tough tough game and Maylord She-dong you have no clue
In fact don't ever ever reply to any of my posts again:37721.jpg |

 Amazing you should be so unsure about your clubs recent history, and yet you claim to know so much about whats going on at ours.  |
