Well after 36 years of that boring one line song being put in our faces, being spat at as I left Caravan Park, and all the taunting and threats I have personally got for writing and honest blog about the team I love and the one I don't every week, I certainly feel for the players but as for the fans, Mr Hudgell and Co, I repeat my comment earlier. What comes round comes round and " Oh how I laughed!"

I think the reaction to their demise is in some way due to the bullish way in which they entered super league. Grudgell promised to take the city back, sign up the best young players and re-sign all those contracted Hull FC players that were desperate to join the dobbins. He then had his vanity signing in Paul Cooke, which was aimed as much at damaging Hull FC then strengthening the dobbins. Allied to Justin Morgan, they were full of it. I enjoyed their record breaking Wembley defeat. I enjoyed them losing their only song this year. I'll enjoy watching them lose players they'd liked to have kept. What goes around comes around.

Well said Wilf. Incredible game, with probably the most outstanding finish to a RL game in many a year.

With you on this Wilf.
never good for anyone to lose their livelihood and I do feel for some of the employees involved.
That said, that ending couldnt have happened to a nicer fella in Neil Hudgel. For a bloke who comes out with such small minded comments I am glad his decisions (sacking a coach who eventually lead the least wealthy club to safety and the frankly poor decision to employ someone with zero management experience in Peacock) are directly responsible for taking them down.
As for many of their fans, lets see just how many are "rovers til they die".

It will all be in hand. Surely wouldn't be so arrogant they assumed safety and didn't have a Plan B in place. There'll be some absolute quality available in the transfer market though, they had several corkers in the pipeline ready to announce if they won today apparently.
I was just thinking that. If we didn't re-sign Michaels he would have been a brilliant capture but don't think would have enough cap space. I wouldn't mind Greenwood as well
