Co-captain Josh Hodgson will bow out of Hull KR with one regret but with the belief that he leaves the club in good hands.
The 24-year-old hooker will make his 127th and final Super League appearance for the Robins at Wakefield in the last match of the regular season on Sunday as he prepares to embark on a career in the NRL with Canberra Raiders.
A failure to make the play-offs means Hodgson will leave Craven Park without having won a trophy in his five seasons but he is confident that the drought will soon come to an end.
"One thing I'm very disappointed about is not having won something with Rovers," Hodgson said.
"It's always been my belief that we had the squad here to do it, it's just been that issue of consistency.

"If the club gets that, they'll be a top four or top five team, I have absolutely no doubt in that.
"People might laugh at that but they're not here when we're training or on the field with us during games to see the quality of players that we've got.
"Everyone is striving for that consistency and it's tough to achieve but, if they can get it, they'll be a top team next year."
Hodgson, who has signed a two-year deal with the Raiders, has been a model of consistency since he made the switch across the city from Hull FC in 2009 and earned selection in England coach Steve McNamara's initial squad this summer for the end-of-season Four Nations Series.
It promises to be an emotion-filled afternoon at the Rapid Solicitors Stadium, where the teams are playing for little more than pride having both missed out on the play-offs.
Hull KR full-back Greg Eden is another player making his final appearance in Super League ahead of a move to the NRL, while second rower Jason Chan, who has enjoyed a successful spell on loan from Huddersfield, is also bidding farewell after deciding to return with his family to Australia.
Wakefield prop Andy Raleigh is set to play his last match before hanging up his boots and Paul Sykes and Matty Wildie will also make their farewell appearances but Wigan-bound forward Taulima Tautai is denied that opportunity due to suspension.
