Yes but what if she was just a stand in and didn't actually work for there and was filling in from another brewery.

Re: Hull KR Partnership : Mon Dec 29, 2014 3:46 pm  

Well for me I feel the game has nobody who has a clue or a leader at the RFL. The RFL have a System which I feel wont last more than a couple of years. I dont see where exactly either the Pro or the Amateur game is heading and we are just being fed spin by the RFL and Clubs- not just our own. The game is in a mess as I see it and nobody as yet has a clear plan on trying to sort it. The RFL are playing Russian Roulette and the Clubs are just happy to Play instead of Standing up and asking where are we going with this and what do we hope to achieve?

I can understand the DR with HKR even if I dont like it. What concerns me is the Partnership. Work together and learn not a Problem. But what is the actual state of our Club and do we Need to be concerned that 12-18 months ago we scoffed at Batley, Leigh, Dewsbury etc for doing DRs and Partnerships and even stated we would not go down that road. Why have we suddenly done a U Turn? Where is the Club actually going? Why do we Need a partnership with any Club on scouting and academy Rugby? What is the Clubs plans if we done make the top 6 for example? With the game being run by headless chickens at the RFL, will this see our Clubs happily continue to follow them or will somebody stand up and say enough is enough? The way things are going we will see another System come in place in a couple of years that will further push us behind where we would like to be.

I have yet to see anything from the RFL to give me any confidence in them or where the game is heading. And with the partnership I feel the Club is in such a state that we are throwin the last roll of the dice in tryin to stay with the bigger Championship Teams. I am yet to be convinced that the Club will actually benefit that much from this. And I am still to be convinced that our Club has much of a future, despite the hard work of the BoD and others. The spin by the RFL about this new System has given People a false sense of hope for me. I see it that the game like the Clubs are just hoping things will work out with no clear plan of what they actually hope to achieve and how.

would that have been the same over the years with a player that was on loan to us?
i am and always have been against the DR system, only there for the good of SL teams. if they want players to get game time either set up reserve league or release them so can play for other teams. stop hedging their bets.

No. The loan system, as you say, has been in place for many years and has been of benefit to All clubs. DR is totally different.

That's more like it HS.

What if she was a RED HEAD and spoke with an East Yorkshire accent.

Aye, sounds good to me. Crown Posada, inventory pub. Fernandes summat or other? Mmm!

HS. Lets hope RM sticks to his word and picks his side from the 25 contracted players to start the season with and get some games in.

If the lads play well enough then there will be no need for him to change the team.

Agree, but we still have done the deed and are forever tainted. Let's see how it goes. The Quayside, Newcastle upon Tyne. Impprter 4.2 % Mmm!

Have read the posts and there appears to be more negativity than positivity. Rovers will still be in super league come the end of 2015 and you will still be mid table with your proud history... obviously you dont like change

I'm prepared to watch Halifax games so long as the Halifax matchday 1-18 is named around about friday lunchtime, maybe with a deadline of 3pm so that i can make alternative plans for the coming weekend if any Hull KR players are named. If someone could possibly pass the info onto me i can then study the players names & i don't mean Halicat posting it on twitter at thursday night's training/boot cleaning session either...
I'm quite prepared to continue picking & choosing my rugby outings but now that the club has complicated matters i'd like a little bit of help from them in keeping the club afloat with my pay at the gate fee's, 'cos apparently it's damaging to the club's future if i'm a stayaway, maybe some of the b.o.d should take a look at themselves & their actions and stop blaming other people for their errors in that case.

Seems reasonable. We give our opponents 48 hours notice on our team selection so that you can decide whether you may or may not attend the game..

Quick question though, if we loan a player from say Warrington for a month to cover an injury, would you attend any of those games?
