Rather than it being just about new players, I think working to reclaim and increase the fanbase must be the priority. We have the advantage of being where we are, but we have to prove that having two hull sides in the league is good for the sport. If I was NH, I'd be doing everything I can to raise the clubs profile again and get it more on an even level with hull. Get the players visiting local schools, get the kids wearing the shirt again, get a better club store and a propper credit card ticket line. Even re-considering the locaion of the stadium. As daft as it sounds, the location of the KC, surrounded by pubs, as well as its facilities, is a big reason crowds went up for city and hull when they moved there. We don't have that, so maybe the location of CP, and certainly its facilities, limits its pull to mainly 'die-hards'. Theres loads of teams that the rfl would love to have in superleague - quins, salford, catalans, a welsh side stc, but no matter who they sign, they'll always be going sideways whilst their support is small, thats one big advantage we can have over alot of clubs, if the club makes the right moves to exploit it.

all of which cannot be achieved without a succesful team (in relative terms)

I theory yes, but it also works the other way. Players will want to play for a well-supported club, and selling lots of shirts and tickets, can help buy better players. I'm not saying don't bother signing anyone, just make sure all the work off the pitch is done as well as possible.

We are in the early stages of building Hull KR into being a team challenging at the top of the SL.
Lets just enjoy it.
We waited long enough.

Finally - someone else who feels this way!!! NH is working as hard as possible and looking at the state we were in when he took over he has worked wonders. We need to keep the faith, back the team on the pitch AND ENJOY IT!!!

Agree.

It's going to take 4/5 years to build a team capable of consistantly challenging for the top 6/4.
Our main priority is to get to a level were we can have the full salary cap, it's essential! To get to this level and challenge for honours at the same time needs a bigger fan base than what we currently have. The number of fans that have been to home games this season has been well above the level expected pre-season. But it's like the team, we need to keep pulling the extra fans in. Hopefully in a few years time we can attract a 9/10k average.

But attracting fans to come we need a winning team!
It is going to be sad to lose some of the players that have got us into SL, but it is essential that we move forward. So, some of these players will have to leave the club in order for us to progress, eventually. Morgan needs to bring in better players than what we already have.

I think we have two very talented FB's at the club in Cockayne and Goddard, who I believe will both progress given the chance. I am happy to see any of them playing at FB, even though Charlie has just had a bad patch.

I like Steel, pacey, good defender and runs hard and straight. An addition of a big strong winger is possibly needed, even though I would be very happy if Hodgson (Salford) became available.

IMO we do need 2 quality centre's if we want to be challenging for top honours. Dyer is doing a good job at the moment, as is Goddard even though he has not got that many try's. I would love to see Craig Hall as it looks as he has bags of potential, hopefully his Dad wants him at the Robins aswell.

I am happy with our H/B's Webster, Cooke and Murrell as support. But possibly in the future, a running O/H with Cooke going to L/M.

We do need some big powerfull forwards in the mould of a Ruben Wiki type player. Vella is a star, plus Macca needs an extended contract, he will keep on improving.

I like Fish, he is developing into a good SL hooker, not sure though yet if Lennon is the quality we need.

Agree with alot of you, we do need a bruising, big, strong and physical S/R, to complement a hardworker. I dont think Fitzgibbon is the answer, yes he has lots of rep honours and bags of experience, but I just believe his best years have past. He would make a decent prop though.

This is all for the future and what I think we will need to become a to4/6 club.

I am very happy at the moment with the way our team is progressing under Morgan. SL status is a must, I would dread to think what would happen if we failed to stay up this season!

thing is, signing a class act like vella will help when it comes to future overseas signings. i hear what you say about fitzgibbon, and thats probably true, i think youve got to look at players like shane tronc at the cowboys, he ticks all the right boxes and his best years are still ahead of him.
