I reckon at the time though we had good evidence to suggest that.




Would this be the same decent set of players who finished 7th that season ? Then after that the main success was built around the likes of Horne, Yeaman, King and Cooke all from Hull's Academy.


You've made the play offs, whilst its progress its nothing to get carried away with. You don't see Cas fans proclaiming World dominance because they made the play offs this season. The constant fact Rovers are referring to were they were a few years ago has all the ingrediants of a club who are just happy to be there rather then to compete.


That it will. We'll be back on top again don't worry about that.

I suggest you go back and recheck your info

Brilliant season. Our 3rd in SL and we finish top 4. Well proud of the lads. Disappointed about tonight, on another day we could've got the result. JM was right - aim as high as you can and keep progressing.

I'm glad the hull fans are having such a good night, shows exactly how far we've come.

Could never understand that argument GML.

Just because you clearly werent good enought to be in Super League for all those years suddenly gives you an excuse for not getting to major finals etc over the last couple of years!

Who's fault is it that you could not reach Super League til 2007? Dont think its ours.

To true but!
within those two seasons we were in a challenge cup "FINAL"

rovers was almost 3 decades ago! FACT

rovers knocked out in semi final by HULL F.C.

Making the play-offs isn't some sort of unbelievable achievement. You do know that the only team in SL that's not made the play-offs is Celtic, don't you?

Knock yourself out fella if thats success to you.
You forgot runners up in the Clive Sullivan Memorial Trophy

What is your win loss ratio in that competition out of interest?

Not got a clue.
7-3 if its played for in every Derby game in the last 3 seasons.
