You need help you really do.”

“Nicko.

Spot on about Withers he has been one of the few to come out of the season with some credit.

Hull won't be winning anything next season, and Ellis is on the decline now, just here for a final payday, he's missed loads of action this year. Hull are trying to buy success which is doomed to fail.”

“FC Wonderland - How would I rate the season, poor, we've over paid players who have taken us for a ride, sold our best player to the best club in the comp and suffered one of the worst injury ravaged seasons to date. As you say the plus is the youngsters stepping up and taking some of the best teams very close. Those experiences in the future could be priceless, mentally they will never fear those clubs but will be ready when they get on to a role. As for your comment on Withers, you couldn't be further from the truth, he had a dip mid-season but the first half of the season he was a serious contender for our POY. A good back end to the season from him has given us some leadership down the middle and he has given Josh Hodgson the chance to work towards being a future loose forward. Biggest let down for me is the claims from the coach that we wouldn't see such poor defence from his team and then him having to use the old line of "this is not my team". All I can say to that is Brian Noble took on a failing Wigan team in 2007 and their defence improved significantly over night and that wasn't "his team". I do like Sandercock and as the club are looking to grow from within he can grow with them. What he has missed are some top line players such as Green, Dobson, Welham, Clinton, Watts, Mcdonell and Galea. Those players at their best and lining up with the other first teamers are enough to be in the top 6 but as is life, injuries and fall outs are common place and have to be dealt with. You don't however pay those guys half your salary cap and expect players earning 10k a year to fill in and do the exact same job or you wouldn't employ the expensive guys would you?! Not blaming injuries though, as Lovegrove said we have lost some games we were well in control of and losing them or drawing them has been almost criminal. I expect a tough pre-season and a whole new brand of rugby with Burns taking a fair bit more control than Dobson allowed of Green (when fit). I tipped Hull to have a good year and they have even with a fair injury list themselves, the loan market and mid-season signings have been typical of a club ran by someone fresh out of football and it has worked a treat. As they say money talks and Pearson has plenty to throw around! It wouldn't surprise me if Hull win some silverware with Ellis leading their pack and if you get the best out of Westerman and Watts there could be half the starting England/GB pack in your team.”

NOBODY READS YOUR RUBBISH SO STOP WASTING YOUR TIME AND GET A LIFE AND A JOB.
LOSER.”

“FCWonderland.

we didnt make the top 8 cos we weren't good enough, no complaints. A failure to close out matches and a stupid number of games lost by less than 6 points or in the last few minutes.
Making the top 8 would make no difference anyway as we'd get a right hiding off the likes of Wigan, Wire, Saints, Leeds or Cats at theirs anyway.

The plus side is that we have given debuts to some very good players - Cox, Sheriff and Salter all look very good. with SL experience they will be better. The successful clubs like Wigan and Leeds know the only way to success is through the younger players making it. No point trying to buy success, it has to come from within expecially as the vast majority of clubs have little money and make big annual losses that are unsustainable.

Relaxing the NRL salary cap will drive up the price of players and can only further destabilize our game. The problem facing SL shortly will be finding enough teams that are financially stable to make up a league. There are hardly any clubs that can survive long term.”

“How would Rovers fans rate there season now it is all but over. From the outside you have made progress with some of the younger players and with the development of players like Hall and Josh Hodgson. The senior guys have been disappointing, I know injuries have biten but some have failed to step up.
I may be wrong but can not remember Withers getting many plaudits this year. Green going is also a big loss. Has Dobson been his usual self?

If you could pick 1 position to strengthen other then what has already been announced, what would it be?”

“abnormal,

no, your wrong, Hull do have a chance because they finished 6th, KR do not have a chance because they failed to get into the 8, in essence it is impossible for KR to get to the final, in essence Hull have a chance because they are in the play offs.”

“johnweldrick.

you have NO chance of getting to Old Trafford, in essence the same chance as Rovers have.

Yes Hull have been the better Hull team, thats undeniable, but so what, they've won nothing and will win nothing.”
