I think they'll probably come back with the signings of Chisholm, Smith etc. If Chisholm hadn't have got injured in the SB, i genuinely think we would have been alright. We never recovered from the thuggery game against Dewsbury, Weak refereeing allowed kids to be hurt that day. You could see the whole squad just deflate. I think a few were shook up from what was allowed to happen that day. Losing became a habit and with referees allowing the nonsense in the Swinton, Dewsbury games etc to carry on, our young squad just weren't experienced enough to rise above it.

Should've signed Chisholm from the off. Instead they let him go to Sheffield and then there was the subsequent messing about.

Not sure if that was down to the work permit issue.

I'd rather not rake over old coals tomorrow night but I'd like to know why they didn't come clean about the visa delay from the off. That and the away kit fiasco made the owners look like amateurs.

Indeed. What's done is done. It's all about the future now.

Maybe a question could be can next seasons away kit be the actual one we were supposed to have this year too!

We were told that it was because they couldn't get in contact with him. Honestly (!!).

The players that were signed were there when they got the club, Chisholm was unreachable on the other side of the planet.

They did admit that NOT signing his was a mistake and with hindsight they should have chased and procured him before Sheffield did.

They also told you that the problem with the dipsh*t in charge of the website and social media was being sorted, and yet he's still out there making mistakes left, right and centre.

As much as I and others appreciate you guys trying to get some answers, I think it's become apparent that most of those answers were, to pardon the pun, Bull.

Let's hope that, no matter what the future might hold, we get a rallying call on Wednesday like the one from the Toulouse president here: http://www.totalrl.com/toulouse-target- ... nish-2018/ We don't want the usual guff of excuses for this year - we're fully aware of the results. We need to hear the main people acknowledge that their plans for this year have been rocked, and that next year we'll see a totally focussed, committed, well managed and skillful team, who will play with passion and pride for this once great club. But....I'm not holding my breath....

This kind of press release reminds me of Marc Green

Same thought occurred to me.

As far as Toulouse not finishing top 4, they only have themselves to blame. They can argue to the cows come home that Hull KR threw the game with Fax in the last round (and you can certainly see why accusations may be made), but if Toulouse had won games they really should have won, they would have controlled their own destiny and that result wouldn't have mattered.

Sorry, that excuse might have flown 10 years ago. But in today's world of global communication saying you can't get hold of someone is absolute rubbish.

It was a sign of the ineptitude that has haunted the club since the new owners took over
