| Quote ="UllFC"I doubt Pearson is daft enough to think he could turn us in to a title winning side with 15K crowds overnight. Yes the drugs scandal and lack of youth development have been a shock, but it was clear to anyone that the squad needed a lot of work and time to become a top side.
and on the crowd front, we could have the best side in the world playing State Of Origin standard rugby, and I still don't think we be getting crowds like we did around 2007, purely and simply because we are in a double dip recession and some people simply can't afford it, no matter how good the rugby is on the field.
I also disagree that the 'top players' want out, I'd class Manu as a top player, but he is now 32...the rest who are leaving or rumoured to be leaving are not top players.'"
tickle, briscoe?
pearson's situation fundamentally changed the day the allams sacked him |

Briscoe is a top player, but by all accounts he wants to leave to play in the better standard NRL, not because he wants to get away from HullFC
Tickle is an average/good SL player, I don't consider him irreplaceable. |

I think he is a good player, and I personally would keep him at the club. However I don't think he is a pivital player that we couldn't replace with another 2nd rower. We have already brought in Ellis who is a better 2nd rower for example. |

Tickle is a good player who has improved over the past couple of seasons and is one of, if not the best, goal kickers in the league.

Oh I don't doubt that he's accurately repeating what he was told. What I'm questioning is the veracity of the source material.
Quote ="Jake the Peg"As for pearson, I reckon he thought he'd buy Hull for a song, get rid of the unpopular coach, tinker a bit behind the scenes and suddenly have a side capable of winning the title with crowds of 15k+. If that didn't work out, he could always use his bargaining power with the user agreement to get some wedge out of allam when the council handed over the stadium for his major development plans.'"
Seems unlikely. He'd have to be a lot dafter than he seems to have come up with a business plan like that.
Quote ="Jake the Peg"So how does he get out? Can't see anyone coming over the hill with a chunk of cash to pay him off so maybe a merger is on the cards?'"
And even dafter to think that this would fly. |

Any person attempting a merger would be in for a big shock, I reckon 95% of Hull and Rovers fans would prefer to see new teams formed in the lowest league playing in East and West parks then go watch a merged team! |

| Quote ="Bet Lynch"I thought we looked flat, clearly the game-plan was the inside ball and turn their big boys around. I was disappointed at the amount of chances we had on their line however Saints defence and sliding defence was excellent. Saints had a lot of strike players and we came back from 12-0 down, a bit disappointing but a points a point. I would put Whiting back in the middle of the park.'"
Only got to page 1 and thats pretty much my view. |

Saints very good defensively. Manu worst game this season, should have scored more had he given it.
We also ran into the PTB constantly and to no descernible advantage

Add me to that as well, with one foul swoop you would kill professional rugby league in this city in around a year. |
