They will be tough next year

Depends on what their finances look like, will Hudgell pull the plug? I think we can assume Albert Kelly will go given he's suspended, and they won't want to pay Campese top whack for his dozen games a season. Could implode.

I guess they'll lose their overseas contingent of Sio, Mantalano, Campese, Kelly, Tilse, Allgood and Blair. Wouldn't be surprised to see players like Lunt and Walker want out as well.

All depends who Sheens can bring in on short notice and if they'll spend the full cap.

As it stands they've got a pretty poor side with not massive depth.

Hull KR will be wrong to assume that they will bounce back to Super League with ease.

JP offered his resignation, and while it's some credit to Neil Hudgell to turn it down I feel that they need to get someone high up in their football structure with a knowledge of the Championship

I ponder if Jamie Peacock will rethink his comments about the Championship funding now Rovers have been relegated. LOL...

Re: HKR Down : Sun Oct 02, 2016 8:38 pm  

It should be quite interesting. How many academy players can they bring through, now they share one with FC?

The managerial awareness of the Championship will be essential, we struggled due to not originally understanding the nature of the challenge in our first season. They will probably stay FT despite all the doom and gloom so should be able to attract a reasonable squad in the end. If they get recruitment right then yes they will probably be in the top four but there might be a few embarrassments (from their perspective) along the way.

I question whether Tim Sheens is the right man to coach a team in the Championship.

Re: HKR Down : Mon Oct 03, 2016 10:45 am  

Its a fair question Bosty.He's use to coaching elite players in elite competitions,not a luxury he will get in the Championship.He won't have the luxury of elite players at his disposal,he doesn't know the Championship and agree with above,they will come unstuck a few times.
