The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.
Do you think the standard of our team is down from last year? Or Bradfords/Wigan/Warringtons? Do you think the standard of Leeds'/Huddersfields' squad is down from last year?

Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really!
SPOT ON!

I think the average standard has stayed about the same. More teams have been pulled into the mid-ranking category, from both ends of the spectrum, making it less predictable.

Everyone wanted the salary cap to even things out, making games less predictable and IMO it's starting to. Salford have beat us, Huddersfield and Saints at home. You've beaten Saints and Leeds yet got tonked by Saints twice. We've beat 3 of last years top 4 - 2 away from home yet lost to both of last years bottom 2.

The over all standard of sl drops every season with the quota.
There was the suggestion made by many Hull fans that Rovers were in a false position last year, that their relative success was due in very large part to the failures of others rather than their own level of performance. The idea that our current poo-ness is a vindication of that argument, I'd reject. Across the course of a League season you get roughly what you deserve. You don't fluke 35 competition points. The only major thing that has changed is that then Rovers form was generally good and now it is average with intermittent bouts of abyssmal. Which is the 'real HKR', is something that people will decide based very much on their allegiances. My opinion is that they both are.

But yet we have the same squad as last year and look at us
Is the game in this era mainly about fitness?
If you look at most games there won and lost in the last 20 is hull kr's fitness not up to skratch?
After what happened at murryfield and last night the fans who traveled should get a refund out of the players wages
[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]
