HKR...........top of the league with an ordinary squad

but with an outstanding albiet obnoxious coach, and a board room full of people from Hull and ex players swarming like sharks around the club and players.
We are so far adrift of reality it's not funny.
There you go, I've said it we are 2nd best to the dobbins within 3 years, and I defy anybody to say different, we are run by incompetents.

unfortunatly agrred

Who are prepared to run their balls off for each other.

The odd thing is, if Hull FC had the right people in place, they would be far and above in SL.

But then Kath gets in the way.

Thanks for the erm, praise, I ummm think.

handing medals out now are they.. it,s nothing we have not done before.

I know how hard it must be for you to admit this so thanks

Doesn't count as they only have a c grade licence

Hate to say this but you hit the nail on the head BUT just remember it is a marathon not a sprint finish remember the hare and tortoise story as a kid? A few injuries a few bad decisions by players /coach and boardroom staff and the the walls MAY come tumbling down i am not sayiing it will i am just saying it could? ROME was not built in a day or 3yrs was it now!Just look at Catalan where the started and now where they are?

Correct.

Not putting HKR down - I think it is remarkable what they are acheiving so soon - but I understand Wigan might have been upset by a rather bad decision just before half time. Sometimes these things go for and sometimes against you.

100% spot on.

Enthusiasm is the key for them.

it was 1 play after the hooter sounded according to sky but always say play to the whistle.

Thing is, as they like to point out (and we would in equal measure if it were us) they've had a clear roadmap to where they are now and are delivering on it. We're still waiting for our 8 easy points.



My opinion is that Rovers will struggle more when the homegrown players requirement increases to 8 and the quota drops to 5. For all that Whelam is a good player, they're not bringing 2 homegrown players a season through to play regularly. They're also £2.4m in debt and can't finance ground extensions for either home or away fans. An inconvenient truth for those who like to label off the field management as irrelevant detail, perhaps.

BUT for now they've been canny to work the current quota system to its limits and their run of form reminds me of us in 2006. In the Cup, Morgan took Toulouse to the Semi Final for goodness sake, so you have to fancy Rovers to get to Wembley unless they get Saints in the semi. No point in predicting it's all going to go wrong for them as there's no evidence to suggest it will. In the short term.

They have a far superior coach who knows how to teach his playes to win tight games ......now compare that to a Club we all love that has twice the turnover and twice the quality in Youth and then finally ..............you look at our coaches we've had since Brian Smith left ....exactly.

:1vy5vjup
and Rovers had a try disallowed in the first ten minutes that the TV replay showed was valid. Swings/roundabouts.

Marathon, not a sprint: Agreed. But loving it at the mo.

No medals yet: See previous comment.

Obnoxious coach: Why?

C grade licence

Think you will find there is a few on here to hand credit out where due

Since arriving in Sl you have a 66% success rate over us and have built a far more capable squad thean we have and also have a coach that gets the best out of every single player week in week out

To beat hkr you have to turn up on the top of your game as you do all the little things right and excute your game plan perfectly, something we don't have

And your recruitment has been far better

Can we have Briscoe back with been so nice to you

Will Hull FC rise to the challenge ?
I think not !
Fair play to Rovers though . Good recruitment , passionate Board . Young up and coming Coach .
Where as we just bumble along from one disaster to another.
Come on Hull FC wake up!

I remember having a conversation in the pub a couple of years ago with some mates who are Rovers fans and the question was posed - Which of the Hull KR players would improve the Hull FC team? At the time we all agreed there weren't many, Compare that to now and you'd have to take.....Morgan, Briscoe, Fox, Webster, Whelam, Fitzhenry, Cookie, Dobson, Vella, Newton, Gallea, Murrell.......

Remind anyone of us in 2006?

swap with radford

Utterly ridiculous post. Fitzhenry

Have you seen the academy league table mate.... played 4 won 4 ... club is moving in the right direction all round

If you are that much obssesed with them...go and support them...it is only may ffs and they have got off to a flyer...they will hit a slump...everybody does...i like to see what happens after 28 rounds myself.

FFS you accuse us of living in the past and here's you living in the [ifuture[/i!

Credit where it is due.

Still a bunch of counts though, make no mistake

I disagree that it's a [ifar[/i more capable squad. What they do have is a much better hallfback combo and possibly a more balanced mix of players. And far fewer injuries/missing players as well.

I completely agree about the coach. Consistency has been the key to their success IMO.


Correct.
