Having had dealings with players from both Rovers and Hull in the past i know they go out of their way to accomodate fans wishes if at all possible.

Lots of this work goes on behind the scenes and the vast majority will probably be unaware of these gestures....unless it happens to relate to their own family or friends.

I am sure this happens at other clubs and as the Rugby League family we should be proud of these guys and long may it last.

A simple gesture like this means the world to the youngsters, well done Mick.

It's nice to hear of gestures like this. I wonder if some of the prima donna premier league footballers care enough about the fans to do this sort of thing.

I should imagine so, especially when there are conveniently tv cameras about.
