Rhyse Martin has no regrets leaving Leeds for Hull KR
Rhyse Martin has no regrets about wrenching himself out of his comfort zone as he prepares to come face to face with his former club in a belting Betfred Super League clash at Craven Park on Sunday. The 32-year-old second row ended a six-year stint at Leeds to join Hull KR at the end of last year only to be laid low by a thigh injury that required surgery just four games into his new career with the resurgent Robins. Martin could hardly have timed his recovery better having returned for last week's win over Wakefield, and is now in line to feature against the Rhinos, for whom he made 132 appearances and amassed over 1000 points. Martin told the PA news agency: 'Coming to the club to try and add something to the team, it was something I definitely didn't want to happen. I wanted to be on the field showing what I can do for this team. But I'm back now and I get another chance to earn the respect of my team-mates. 'For me it just felt like time to make a change and take up a new challenge, where I've had to start again. I think when you're in that sort of position it brings the best of you as a player. When you take up a new challenge you find out what you're made of and how tough you are.' Martin's Rhinos career always looked likely to come to a close as they headed towards a second consecutive season without a play-off berth, and for a time he looked likely to return to Australia before Willie Peters stepped in to add the cool goal-kicker – who jointly holds the world record for 41 consecutive successful kicks – to his talent pool. The departure of former head coach Rohan Smith in June added to the uncertainty at Headingley, and with his replacement Brad Arthur still far from certain of his long-term plans, Martin said the situation confirmed his decision to move elsewhere. Going through the 'horrible' experience of watching Rovers' Challenge Cup win over Warrington from the sidelines has only served to confirm his desire to win more with Rovers, and a win over the Rhinos, one of the biggest contenders for a top-two slot, would be a big step in the right direction. 'My time at Rhinos was good but I was thinking about the next couple of years,' added Martin. 'I think they're in a position where they're not sure where they're going with their head coach, whereas I knew at Rovers there was stability and they were pushing for silverware, so that really made the decision a lot easier.'

Hull reacts as Coldplay announces tour dates at Craven Park
In case you missed it, one of the biggest bands of all time is coming to Hull next year. Coldplay will be playing two nights at Craven Park in August next year. The band, fronted by Chris Martin, regularly sell out arena tours all over the globe, so some fans might have had to check twice that their eyes hadn't deceived them when they added Hull to their 2025 UK Tour. Known for their dazzling shows, some fans are in utter disbelief that the band are now playing in Hull for the first time.

Vicky couldn't believe it, saying: "How on earth did they think 'Hang on, we'll go do one of our two tour locations in Hull'. Not complaining like." Of course, some could not resist a Rover's gloat. Charlie said, "The band that sing " A Sky Full of Stars ", Will be playing at the Home stadium of the team who has a team Full of Stars". Chair for Hull Kingston Rovers, Dr. Paul Sewell in light of the announcement posted on X, formerly Twitter, said: "Thank you Coldplay. They could have gone anywhere but chose the city of Hull, Hull Kingston Rovers and @Sewell_Group Craven Park. I have been asked 'why' a lot yesterday, and would like to think that, in part, it was just some decent people choosing some decent people." Following Mr Sewell's post, Matt replied: "Brilliant Paul! Well done to you and all at Rovers. You've done a great deal for this city. I'm sure it's very much appreciated." In what is universally agreed to be a huge success for the city, @RLbl0gger said: "This is actually incredible! A rugby league ground hosting it is amazing let alone @hullkrofficial! Well done whoever negotiated this." The fact that London and Hull are the only two European cities in the upcoming tour has meant that plenty of replies are calling Craven Park "Wembley of the North." Hull KR Chief Executive Paul Larkin said on Rover's website, "We are truly delighted to bring the world's biggest band to East Hull. Sewell Group Craven Park will be rocking for two consecutive nights for the biggest show the City has ever seen. "We can't wait to proudly represent the whole region and North of England, as part of the only European dates announced outside of London. "The stadium is no stranger to big acts with Hull's very own Beautiful South selling out 25,000 tickets in our 2017 City of Culture year, alongside other major concerts from The Who, Little Mix, Rod Stewart and Tom Jones. "However this is on another level, with Coldplay bringing their full, and same production that will be inside Wembley stadium, nothing will be scaled back. We have a fantastic relationship with SJM Concerts, and we'd like to place on record our thanks to them for making this happen, for what is set to be two very special nights." Tickets for Coldplay's gigs go on general sale on Friday, September 27. Tickets go on sale a day early for those with a HU, YO, DN or LN postcode as 50% off tickets are reserved for locals. 10% of ticket sales will go towards Music Venue Trust to help support grassroots venues.
