However, there does seem to be a concerted effort get us out of the rut. Tony Smith, John Bastian, buying the ground and so on. I’m concerned that we seem to be in for a lot of small-ish players again for 2020, and i’d like to think that if we survive, Smith would see the need for more power and influence our recruitment and S&C accordingly.


When you say smallish, would you like a team of 6ft 4 18 stone players? Our best players are Quinlan, Hall, Hauraki, Crooks, all are small in regards. Look at Catalans who have a team filled with size and weight, but can be awful at times.






PROUD TO BE A ROBIN!

I would love that, so much. Lads who look like those statues on Easter Island and are similarly mobile.

At times. Most teams are awful at times, but mostly not quite as often as Hull KR have been in recent SL seasons. Catalans won the cup last year and currently sit in a play-off spot - if that is the price we have to pay, then so be it.

I’m not saying we can’t have any smaller, skilful players, but surely you must be tired of us getting gubbed about the park most weeks for the last 5 years. If it worked and we had quicksilver boys with flaxen curls, skipping with exuberant grace just beyond the grasp of their clumsy leaden-footed opposite numbers, then I would very quickly stfu. But it hasn’t been a recipe for success.

Also, Quinlan is definitely one of our best. The other three have their plus points, and I like them. But i’m not sure they are among our top 5 (you’ll be unsurprised to hear I rate Masoe and Garbutt more highly), and I think they probably wouldn’t be in the first choice team for at least half the clubs in SL. Which is part of why we’ve won joint fewest games in SL this year.

The reason why we have not won anouth games upto now this year is the pack apart from 2 and the 2 are garbutt and Masoe get 2 more like them and keep them fit and we would be higher in the league

I reckon 22pts is the safe spot, anything less is points diff. So four more wins.

This is possible but far from guaranteed.

Leeds o Friday is gonna be tough. The away support might help. There also needs to be a big response after the Wigan game.

Huddersfield might be getting back to winning ways although Lui-less Salford is hard to judge at tbe moment.

Then hope Cas keep their indifferent form.

Wigan away a second time could be rough though as could Catalans now they've got back a little shape.

However, what's the betting London turn Hull over? They look a bit shakey since the derby.






And the Geek shall inherit the Earth!

Leeds have gone back to basics and playing a very physical game which is generally a problem for us as a team. Far to nice as a team and we turn up on Thursday with anything other than the same aggresion we will get walloped again.

Hope we don,t turn up to play on Thursday Craig, we play on Friday, but you are right, we must match any aggression or we will lose. We cannot afford any more blow out scores against us or the points diff could send us down. We absolutely must win against Leeds or they will be too far away(I think) to catch.
We must start winning, no more excuses.
