Wow I really hope Grudgehull does give the wizard another three year contract. How many years would that make it since you’ve won a major trophy?

My thoughts is his shrewdness has gotten and is keeping Rovers in SL.

I can't see him hanging around without money.

Early days but not been convinced in any game so far. We just do not kill teams off which is a major weakness and has got to be addressed. Is it a mental thing? but we don,t see anyone cajoling the troops or shouting and driving them on, no one playing to the crowd, they all seem to relaxed. Wish we had a Clint Newton or Cockayne in the team. We need to get nasty and horrible to play against. Yes we are playing Super League teams, but we just seem too soft when it matters and are missing a killer instinct..not happy.

In terms of quality we’re maybe a mid-table team. Which’d be an improvement on recent seasons.

I know I went off on one, in my own gentle way, at the weekend. And to lose after being 14 points up is painful. However, if we’d lost by 2 having been down by 14 at HT, i’d probably have been banging on about a slow start costing us. Losing needs rationalising in a way that winning doesn’t.

There may be a mental or cultural element to it, but in SL there are teams that are better than us, teams that are on a similar level, and then, trying not to be too disrespectful, London. I think that’s the bigger issue.

We showed decent mental fortitude in that last set in the derby, after all.

Prior to the start of this season Sheens gave an interview to the Yorkshire Post and it seemed like he wanted to stay on for 2020 but the club had yet to make up their minds; “What will be will be. Again, it’s out of my hands. You never say never and you want to continue. But it really comes down to what the club wants, what they see the future of the club is and that’s out of my hands. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/hull-kr/hull-kr-s-potential-continues-to-fuel-the-passion-of-tim-sheens-1-9488341 There are teams like Wakefield & Salford who are spending less than Rovers but outperforming us I think that is why the board are unwilling to commit at this stage. However Tim doesn't want to go back to Australia so it's only fair the club makes a decision in good time. Halfway through the season would seem reasonable.

Bet you was fuming wasn’t you?

To be honest, Tim could be the most entertaining rovers coach since the rat catcher. I really hope he stays for a really long time. I’ve heard even the players mock him in the dressing room.

Are you sure you have the right team? Ask Abdul and Logan about Radfords changing room conduct, think you will find he is a flat track bully.

Most strong leaders are considered bullies by those that cannot meet the expectations of their leaders. Tim on the other hand is being laughed at. Don't believe me, that's your prerogative. Maybe you have another reason grudgehull has gone quiet on offering him a new contract/pension.

Strong leaders? Think Ellis deserves more credit than Lugs.
