I think there has been an element in the youth development that isn't being considered. Kids haven't wanted to sign for the youth team when there has been no chance of getting into the first team during the golden years, has to be taken into consideration

Imho that should have been used as a positive not a negative to aspiring young players. The club should have been sold to them on that basis

]As a KR fan, you have just disrespected us..Hull FC almost went out of business and previously had pathetic crowds some years ago but were saved by being given Gateshead Thunders licence by the RFL. With a bit of success which could happen our gates could and probably would be bigger than eg. Warrington. We have the capability and then some to be top 5 with a bit if fortune which we have been missing for for a while.....

when was last time kr competed at high end of super league like 2009? Finished fourth, you got embarrassed in 2015 challenge cup final, like I said I wasn't disrespecting any club just giving my opinion on each club, sometimes you need to generate your own wealth and success something I see hull KR struggling to do and haven't looked like doing since being in SL.[/quote]

We have one of the strongest fan bases in the game. To compare us to two teams who don’t get as many as us in attendances combined is laughable. We’re a club who have strived to improve our ground, facilities, and are currently in the process of purchasing the ground and surrounding areas for further development. We have events, concerts etc, that generate plenty of income to the club. If we was top of the league we’d rival all but Leeds in attendance figures. If Leeds went down and failed to come back up at the first attempt i’d love to see how many stay faithful, because you’d soon become a poorly supported club If that was the case. Fans are fickle. As for away followings, it’s no coincidence that as Leeds have become a poor club on the field, your away followings have matched this. Poorest I’ve seen from Leeds at Craven Park this year. we take good followings whilst not doing well, so imagine if we was up there. Our time will come again as will many other clubs - maybe you’ve just had yours. That’s sport.

I think only one person has dissed kr. You could argue that your record for a club as big as kr is utterly shocking.....

wonder if the Brighouse and rastrick will be doing the floral dance as a swan song when leeds go down.talk about outdated rubbish.

Re: Hetherington out : Thu Jul 25, 2019 9:50 am  

Hetherington's only mistake (IMO) was having too much faith in McDermott to transition and develop the team. He took his eye off the ball and wasn't as ruthless as he should have been earlier. McD should have gone in 2015. Maybe the re-development of the ground took too much of Gary's attention - which is understandable, maybe he just got it wrong. Every decision since then has been like watching a disaster movie unfold.
We have to survive this season. Simple as that. The players who have let us down need to be shown the door and we need to rebuild virtay from scratch. Anyone not buying in 100% on and off the field has to go. The league is so poor that if you put out 17 guys who are 100% committed every week you will finish mid table, add some class to that and you'll do well.

How can anyone blame McDermott for hetheringtons recruitment policy I don’t think anyone involved with Toronto is complaining about mac at the miniute.
