go back to your relegation year in 2016, ok you got few over paid, injury prone players off your books, mix that in with the stupid 888 system recruiting quality was always going to be a problem as you never knew which league you would end in whilst all the SL teams in the top 8 were already securing the better players on offer, imo thats where it all went wrong for rovers

I quite liked ‘wake up and smell the tofu.’ The supposed sting in the tale (pun intended) was rather telegraphed though.

As Colin Hutton said when trying to kill off Hull FC
“ sorry FC but there is only room for 1 rugby league club in Hull�
He meant it

I know you can’t defame the dead under English law, but did he actually say that? Isn’t it usually Barry Lilley usually who Hull fans like to get in a lather about?
You do know about Hutton’s record as a player with Hull FC, kicking the goal that won the Championship in 1956 and so on, yeah?

Yeah that knackered us. I think the manner of it is a legacy that has been tough to shake as well. Especially so close on the back of our Wembley debacle the year before.

Sheens did a good job of laying ghosts to rest over the next couple of years, and I must be approaching some sort of statute of limitations for whining on about Jamie Peacock. So, I think you’re absolutely right but we can’t go on blaming it forever.

I know exactly his record, which is why his comments ahead of the FC Gateshead merger, were so controversial.

I'm pretty sure it was Barry Lilly who said that, not Colin Hutton.

Well,unfortunately,admittedly, Dull FC are in a better place position wise and squad wise than the Robins, but some of their "supporters, the faithful" are stamping their feet and throwing their toys out of the pram already. The Radford Out brigade are back already...They really are the worst...very funny and predictable though!
