Not I hate the bloody thing it should have been 1 UP -1 DOWN and the team going up would have more time to get ready for super league no matter witch team it is

Never mind one up one down it should be no one down 2 up we could play Cas or Leeds 5 times this year the whole system is a joke get rid of these play offs of super 8s and middle 8s go back to 14/ 16 teams in SL, promote the champions and have a million pound game with the second from bottom of SL and runner up in the Championship Top 4 or 6 play off for the Gran final but that makes too much sense and would promote super league too much around the rest of the game for the top brass

Disagree with you on the halfbacks, we've had some of SLs finest over the years but not enough quality around them, especially in the forwards. Having good halfbacks is all well and good, gotta have good players around them though.

Mortimer is a fine looking player from what I've seen, could be an excellent signing for the future providing you're still on SL but I don't rate drinkwater anywhere near the same.

Have it on good authority from an ex player who played with his dad at Rovers in the 80's that Mortimer has been offered to us on a few occasions, and would of loved to have played for us, but for some strange reason it never happened.

Apparently Daniel Mortimer's Dad said playing at Hull KR in the 80's was 'The best 12 months of his life'

Think he was due to join us until we got relegated.

Probably, he only played in 4 grand finals with his two brothers before that. So why not.
