If we were going to try him at second row, he isn't the centre who's loss we are all bemoaning.
He's a centre, who can cover if you need him to.

Couldn't Ryan Atkins cover second row too? He didn't turn out that bad did he

Genuinely, why will it be the last time? What makes you think that. Everything coming out of the club suggests we're skint. I can't imagine the new stand having that much of an effect short term.


Come on you can do better than that.

Of course we are skint this season and the reason is staring you in the face! The East stand when open will offer revenue streams that are simply not available at present.

True it won’t make us rich overnight but it will add that extra income stream that will allow us to be more competitive.

The estimate is that if we can sell its facilities along with the pitch and the repurposed Cats bar to the limit it will generate up to an extra 500k a season. That would transform our player budget to a level it’s never been in SL.

What is important to remember is this. When built we will owe nothing for the East stand. From day one every penny it generates goes back into the club. No loan repayments, no debt, just an instant money maker if done right.

Don’t remember him playing SR but if you say so.

So the stand is free but the money will also go towards maintenance, staff wages and costs that weren't in existence before won't they. Also, when do we have to start paying the loan on Belle Vue back?

I'd be delighted if next season we spend full cap (if we're in Super League that is). But given our history and the fact that EVERYTHING at the club is stripped to the bone, I just cannot see it.

Did I say that?

No I didn’t, I said I don’t recall it.

Try calming down a little.

He could probably cover second row, but he's a centre.
You are kinda proving my point.

Did you not say that Hall probably wasn't the centre we are making him out to be because some also think he might have been a competent 2nd row?

No. What I'm saying is Hall is a centre and a quality one. You only move a good centre to second row if they are not as good or getting older.
I'm saying if people think we should have moved him to second row then they don't think he's good enough at centre, which Hull KR and the fans who are up in arms don't agree with.
