Anyone know our average attendance and how it compares to last year?

They need us more than we need them. At the end of the day, if they come up then it's likely to be 4 or 6 free points on recent history.

Sounds familiar

Next year will be very interesting IMO for SL. Some of the lower teams this year like Warrington, Catalans (if they survive). Hudds all with potential. Salford have shown glimpses of excellence Wakey also. Saints strengthening well. Intriguing season next year IMO.

You also wouldn't want to be in the championship with Toronto likely to be there, along with Toulouse (who I'm sure will strengthen) making it a tough competition.

Have I missed the last 5 games of the competition or something? Some ups n downs for all involved yet. Not bothered who comes up,like to think we have bigger ambitions now.

... Catalans might be added to that list as well. If rovers make the top 3, then 2 SL teams will more than likely be in the playoff, which might sound improbable, but has, I think, happened before.

Seriously?

Who?

No apologies for wanting the worst for a club that made a big effort to kill off Hull. I'd like the dobbins to be the architects of their own demise though with Hull sat on the sidelines laughing rather than being involved in any underhand dealings like Lilley & Co.

Got me wondering who would it be can't think of anyone. Lunt as back up hooker but that's all. Rovers played well yesterday and tackled well. But can't think of one man who would get into our team and that's not being biased. Fair play to them but effort will only get you so far

a million quid more funding gets you a bit further

Well, Leigh look out of the reckoning now they've appointed Kieron Cunningham as "Head of Rugby".

Down side for Hull KR is that now all the other teams should beat Leigh as well.
