If FC aren't playing, i (this season) have enjoyed watching HKR (i said what I said) they are really well coached, well disciplined, play a good brand of rugby and have some top players.

I mentioned (I think it was on here as well) when waket were going, that we should go and get tanginoa and Whitbread, i think I was laughed at and people said they weren't good enough, injury prone etc but tanginoa esp has been a standout player in a side that are playing really well.
Another player I said I would've liked us to go for was Evalds. Since his move to FB at KR he has changed that team from a side looking good, to a really really good side.
It's not just on the field that I'm impressed with at KR either.
They seem to be doing a lot of good work across the board over there.

Ok, that's enough nice words said about the red and wh!te sh!tes now

Once you are reconciled with the fact they will win at least the Challenge Cup this year you can relax. I have

Wigan will beat them in the semi, wint get a better chance than last year, Schneider finds touch they win in.

Do Rovers have a long term plan with youth, as not one term has won the GF without a decent youth set up and it's essential for long term success.

Already see possible effects of tighter salary cap with Storton and King going.

More success means higher wages, so you have to recycle players internally.

I think the good thing about us signing those two from Wakey was that even though they were getting beat every week and eventually relegated, those two were 'probably' two of there better players, and were already acclimatised to the SL aswell, as fir injury prone, Tanganoa broke his arm I think so missed a good few games, I never got the injury prone tag that he got.
Recruiting from the NRL is always a gamble so I think if you can sign from SL like you've just done yourselves with Asiata isn't such a gamble

Wigan will be big favorites obviously, and aswell as we've played they have something we don't, which is that winners mentality, I'm hopeful we'll win something sooner rather than later but nothings guaranteed, as for King and Storton, I'm sure little Willie will have a plan, he seems to keep having things up his sleeve so far.

Their youth policy is to sign anyone they can who came through our academy. Been told they are sniffing around quite a few of our younger players throwing daft oney around. Hopefully our new investment will help us fend the off

Biggest risk for rovers is if Peters gets an nrl opportunity sooner rather than later

Can't argue Wilie is a smart recruiter, took some gambles which have really paid off and makes some tough decisions.

Wigan will be a totally different animal in the semi-final.
