It’s great to see Hull KR thriving and - despite Thursday’s agonising golden point loss to Wigan - I think they can challenge for all trophies this season.
My overriding thoughts of my own time at the Robins are that there’s a lot of good people involved there. There’s some fanatical supporters and a real desire for the club to do well. Over a period of time, they’ve managed to progress each year on and off the field. They have aims of wanting to be a top-four side in both senses. It looks like they now have the right people in the key places going forward. Obviously, Neil Hudgell is a very giving and passionate owner who has a great rugby league knowledge.
But now they have an outstanding board, too, bringing together some of the most successful businessmen in Hull which can only add intelligence and financial nous while Paul Lakin is another sharp operator as CEO, someone who has the ambition to get them to the top.
