Hull KR enjoyed their best ever campaign in the summer era in 2024, narrowly missing out on winning it all after a 9-2 defeat to Wigan Warriors in the Grand Final. And now reports suggest they are looking to bolster their ranks with a former Hull FC star.
The difference between the fortunes of Hull FC and Hull KR this past season could not have been more stark. The Black and Whites finished joint bottom of Super League, only ahead of London Broncos on points difference. Rovers, meanwhile, finished second in the top tier, just two points below League Leaders’ Shield winners Wigan.
KR went one better than their Challenge Cup semi-final defeat by making the Grand Final but lost out in a tight tussle at Old Trafford.
Willie Peters’ squad is looking strong for 2025 with the additions of Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, while Tom Davies replaces Ryan Hall and Michael McIlorum is in for Matt Parcell.
But a surprising update came courtesy of Love Rugby League yesterday, with Aaron Bower reporting that Hull KR have ‘made an enquiry’ about Sneyd’s availability. And naturally this update will be of serious interest to FC fans, with Sneyd having won back to back Challenge Cups on the west side of the River Hull.
The move would make little sense given the strong play of Mikey Lewis and Tyrone May last season in the halves, with the former winning the Super League Man of Steel. If something were to come to fruition, it’s safe to say it brings into question exactly how KR will deploy their halfbacks and whether both of them are staying put.
But regardless, KR are said to be ‘monitoring the Salford situation closely’.
Of course this update comes on the back of recent Salford financial troubles which led to them asking for an advance on their funding for the 2025 season.
It remains to be seen how things play out. But it’s clear this report is going to set tongues wagging in the rugby league mad city of Hull.

A laugh a minute.
Just because you would like things to be true and “rumour” starts here, doesn’t mean it will happen, although not everyone will be up to deciphering your typing.
