Brilliant news and I hope other clubs follow.

There were some minor initial teething problems. After I applied for my tickets for the Catalans game I received an email from TicketsforTroops saying I could collect them from the club shop. As I was on leave and up in Hull last Monday I decided to make the trip across the city to pick them up. Unfortunately, Hull KR and TicketsforTroops had got their wires crossed and the 50 tickets had been sent to TicketsforTroops for them to distribute. But Rovers were great and arranged for them to be sent to my Mam's address.

I also got tickets for Millenium Magic through the RFL. Happy days!

Before Leeds fans get on this yes Leeds did something similar last year (http://www.therhinos.co.uk/news/14368.php) hopefully more will be done for our troops within our great game.

This is a great initiative. One note jars a bit with me, though. Cockayne holds his head up proudly alongside those brave servicemen. I wonder if they've any inkling about how loyally and honestly Ben played his part in the army.

Can't you just give it a break now and then and just actually say well done to the club?

I did. I said it was a great initiative. It's using Cockayne as the Rovers' ambassador on this occasion that doesn't ring quite true. Perhaps the club aren't aware of his hypocrisy in this matter.

I know you did but why couldn't you just leave it at that?

This is the very kind of thing Rovers wanted Cockayne to get involved in when they gave him another chance.

Maybe Rovers & Cockayne should use his second chance the way Hull FC & Raynor did?

I'm not blaming Hull FC for Raynor's crimes but maybe if Hull had taken a more proactive role in Raynor's rehabilitation - like Rovers have with Cockayne - it might all have ended more happily.

Well done Rovers well done Ben Cockayne. It's great to see Ben in such a positive role.

No matter how many times I read that my response is the same......
