Get behind Hull KR

[JM2010]

The play offs this year are very red rose top heavy. Hull KR are the sole Yorkshire team. All of us from the east side of the Pennines need to get behind the Rovers and hopefully they can bring the SL trophy back to Yorkshire.

Not a hull kr fan but I’m absolutely delighted with their recent upward trajectory both on and off the pitch and would actually love to see them lift the super league trophy at old Trafford in front of 15k+ robins fans.

would obviously be great for KR but also super league as a whole to have a new winner.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Time for folk to come to terms with the fact that Yorkshire is a rugby league wasteland. 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

No way.  

[The Hallucinating Goose]

No thanks, cross city rivalry far outweighs county rivalry for this goose.

Rugby league, premier league, county cricket, rugby union wasteland….

Not sure about whippet racing though.

Can't subscribe to this request just now. My team may fulfil 'it's always our year' tag. But, if we don't - HKR i'd love to see clinch it. What a team!

[Hopie]

England are playing fairly soon, I'll keep my behind away from Hull KR.

[RayCee]

RL is a club game so county rivalry isn't part of most fan's thought process.

It would be good for the Hull KR club and having a different team winning the trophy. I would even support them if they gave out home crowd numbers but that misdemeanor is a deal breaker for me. Sorry JM. 

[JM2010]

So……just me then?

[JF1]

I'm sure Old Frightful will be along shortly to support the premise.

To be fair to Yorkshire, retired miner Reg Mellor from Barnsley still holds the ferret legging world record. 

[Archie Gordon]

Just as soon as @Worzel confirms Hull KR are starting a London academy, I am onboard.

I’m supporting both hull kr and Leigh in the playoffs as both teams have been great success stories in the past 2-3 seasons l

[Dave T]

Naturally ill be supporting my own team, which would be to a first SL title, but if we can't win, then Leigh and KR will absolutely get my support.

If Saints can’t win it (which they can’t ) that would be my preferred option. So I’d imagine you will be getting quite a bit of support from Lancashire. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Would be a great story and an example to other clubs of what’s possible and to not give up if Hull KR finished as champions by winning the Grand Final.

I’ll overlook the Yorkshire aspect and upset everyone by calling them Humberside and by name dropping Grimsby!

East Hull over Saints rivals any day.

I’m not a KR fan just feeling a bit bad that the west is getting all the success lately. Tbh Hull KR or Leigh get my vote

Hope you're not talking about West Hull, don't think their fans feel very successful lately 

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Yeah, no.

[daz39]

I support my club and my country, everyone else is a rival wherever they come from, i don't ever 'support' another team, sorry.

Supports probably too strong but you usually watch a game with a slight bias to one team or another. That’s just human nature it could be something as simple as one team having a couple of players you don’t like or they could be Wigan either way there’s always something.

Nope, can't say i do, i watch every game as a neutral.

Yorkshire clubs have been outnumbered in the play offs for years now (2024 = 1, 2023 = 1, 2022 = 2, 2021 = 2).

Yorkshire-based sides have only won one trophy between them since 2018.

I think there's a wider point here that sides from the west of the pennines are far out-performing Yorkshire clubs over the last few years and there isn't an obvious reason why (to me at least).
