HULL KR: Fitzhenry predicts bright future for Robins (video)
FORMER Hull KR hooker Daniel Fitzhenry predicts a very bright future for Rovers after he made an emotional farewell to Craven Park on Saturday night.
Fitzhenry had to be comforted by fellow Australian Ben Galea moments after Wigan's 30-16 defeat ended Rovers hopes of reaching the Grand Final at Old Trafford.

The tears showed how hurt he was not to leave Rovers fans with something to cheer.
After two years at the club, the 29-year-old struggled to hold back the tears as Rovers fans chanted his name after the final hooter.
"I was very emotional after the game," admitted Fitzhenry.
"I don't cry too many times, but I had tears in my eyes because I'm going to miss this place.
"It was very disappointing.
"We shot ourselves in the foot in the first half.
"We put a good effort in during the second half but we just weren't good enough.
"I just want to thank the fans for their support not only for myself but also for the team.
"They have been great and that's what makes Hull Kingston Rovers so special."

“I don't know why it surprises me because most of them are illiterate but 1 quota place means 1 quota place. If you believe everything you read on here KR are after about 10.
What I find most interesting is that they still have not announced what is happening with Mills. Well JM is famous for making good players out of ordinary ones. According to you lot anyway.
See Fitzy is now a great player as well. You all blamed him for your cup exit earlier in the year. Now he's your no. 1 hooker. Shame you signed Fisher long term then isn't it. Don't worry though Morgan knows what he's doing. Well during the day anyway.
See the Brisbane lads not interested either. Turn around KR fans that is the peak you can see behind you and yes its moving away from you quickly.”

“I found morgans comments after the game on saturday very interesting, he said and i quote we will sign 1 or 2 players. now does that mean 1 or 2. reading between the lines that could suggest 1 or 2 things, he is going to announce the capture of michael crocker and glen inglis or the club have got no money, your guess is as good as mine. Because for the team to stay in the in the top 4, bearing in mind the players they have let go, i think they are going to need more than 1 or 2 new recruits”
