Rapana seriously needs to up his game imo. Another very average display


I've been Esehs critic but though he did well, Ashworth also very good. 


Hate the way we start using wingers as forwards right from our first set. Rovers first set has jwh running full pelt at us. It's prob why we start off so slow

All fair points. The council handing you the land is a big factor in the investors coming on board though, in an alternative plot line Hudgell could still be trying to sell Rovers or have given up losing money by now. But likewise the council getting a KCOM windfall and building the MKM was a stroke of luck for us (unlilkely that Hetherington and co wouldent haven bought us without it)


Money makes the world go round and both clubs are benefiting at present. Having sat through 90s games when both clubs could barely afford to stock the portakabin retail store I will enjoy the good times we are having.

Full game now on your tube if anyone is interested

I don't understand how Cust got a red card  even if he did make contact with morgue. 

He wasn't trying to make a tackle, he was running at speed to try and gather a loose ball as was morgue. There was no intent to wrap his arms or bend his back as he wasn't intending on making a tackle. 


They both had an equal part to play in an accidental clash, it just so happened that Morgue got the ball in his hands a fraction before Cust. If Cust had got the ball then went on to hit his head i would it still have been a red?


Seems incredibly harsh to me, especially as most of the strict rules from last year seem to have been quietly shelved until now.

Thanks wilf,I lost my log in.lol.

Love the semtiment of the post and i cant wait for the next few years, although we wasn't handed anything for free, we bought the ground back for over £1m after selling it for a few hundred thousand and the surrounding land wasnt included and something we'll have to stump up for to build the training ground and amenities.

Back in 2005 Hull where getting gates of 16-17k Rovers 2.5k,  Rovers are getting gates of 11.2k Hull 13-14k. We've never since the 80s been on such an even footing and it's exciting. Whether our crowds take a dip is an unknown that Rovers will have to navigate but whats a surety is Jake will talk Rovers down that's his mindset, he'll constantly hit us with the big brother mentality and quote bank balances but what we know is the salary cap, we both will be spending up to the cap and both paying marquee players, it then comes down to coaching, the training and science.


I can't wait for the rivalry to step up a notch, hopefully it brings the best out of both clubs and rugby league as a sport benefits from it.
