We are a club were our fan base under the age of 40 has seen us win a major trophy. One of only a few that has won any sort of silverware in the last 30 years, a club that has just moved into a brand new world class training facility, playing in one of the best grounds in SL. Why does it bother you so much?

Not too mention the only reason they finished above us 2 years ago was because it was based on the stupid % points rule.

A season where they beat Leigh 3 times which boosted their % and when it came to playing us they cried off with covid knowing the positions in the table could be reversed

I am all for banter davey41 but let's not rewrite history. BBC Sport headlines HKR v HFC derby postponed amid covid issues for the Black and Whites.or the Hull Daily Mail report in which stated 'The Black and Whites return to action after recent fixtures against Leigh Centurions and Hull KR were postponed due to several players testing positive for covid.

Rovers postponed the first derby game, we then had the rescheduled game postponed.

So what they said was accurate,

Rovers had posponed games against Catalans, Warrington, Saints and Hull (when we were playing well).

Hull had postponed games against Rovers and Leigh and I think Salford.

Finishing a place above a bigger club and having Mr Whippy to replace a stand is nothing to get excited about Keith.

The fact remains that in 2021 Rovers finished in the playoffs FC didn’t. Fans can cast around for reasons to explain FC’s dismal showing but it does not change anything. In 2022 Rovers won two of the three derbies and scored more tries than FC in Newcastle. Only poor goal kicking prevented a 3-0 wipeout. I’m sure FC fans can find many reasons for this as well.

Fantastic, no one will remember these years soon though, no one will talk about the year you got to a semi or finished 8th.

Maybe not. However in the present it hurts you all.

The proof is on this forum.

You were saying?

It shows the lack of ambition Keith has for his club that he considers the last 2 seasons as being successful despite them having nothing to show for them
