I agree with everyone about Lovodua , He hasn't be used properly in his favoured position and has just become a waste of a quota spot that could be utilized elsewhere within the squad .
Hope a deal is imminent .

The majority of your pals don't share your view.

The homecoming reception at the Town Hall has already been booked and will be better attended than the last one.

im talking reality not fantasy regardless of what some people think it will be a close game that could go either way imo ,some thought leigh would be a walkover

That's irrelevant really

Esp when likes of mcintosh, Houghton, Lane shouldnt be near our best 17

Trys hard but just isn't super league quality imo

Will end up in the championship in next 3 or 4 years

The latest quote from Tony Smith
I am happy with the current squad WTF is that all about.

thats an exceptional bench.Will have HKR players shaking in their boots at the power coming off the bench

Well the quote is actually

Why do you bother

No this is what he said
Smith went on to say he is happy with his current squad and the early season recruitment drive is more something other clubs are concerned with than Hull FC.

That's not a quote. That's Hull Live doing what they often doing, paraphrasing, which can take words out of context. They then use the actual quote which I put.

Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps he won't develop into a running half and will be more of an organiser, who knows.
The fact remains he's our best option at 6 currently.

Fairly confident in Shaul starting tomorrow, unfortunate for Litten not to get a crack.

Starting to get those butterflies again, now it is almost upon us. I find watching Hull, even in finals with a good team, excruciating and I wish I could enjoy it more, but I am going to be there with my father , who is 91, my kids and prospective son & daughters in-law, so its becoming a proper generational gathering of family, and win or lose it's good to be able to say that after the horrors of Covid 19 not long back. Gotta count our blessings, I ,suppose, just hope we have a real dig tomorrow, that's all we ask.

What's annoying and so frustrating and has been for the past few seasons now is you aren't surprised if we get an absolute tonking and wouldn't put it past them to turn up and win. the problem being they just don't turn up enough.

I used to feel like that, all week I'd be looking forward to the rugby whether home or away it would be the main thing to get me through the working week, but now it feels like a chore and can't get excited about going. I don't think it's all hull but the general apathy for the game altogether.

Nerves kicking in. Shirt washed and hung up. I moan complain sulk about FC .They dissapoint me yet give me some of the greatest days I've ever had. So onto tomorrow and I'll be there shouting the lads on. It's the hope that kills you lol

Talking of our greatest days, Saturday is the 40th anniversary of Hull beating Rovers at The Boulevard in the title decider. Hull won 20-3 in front of 20,500 and went on to win the title.

Bitter sweet for me, as the game got put back a week from Good Friday as Hull were in the CC Semi a Final. The game then clashed with my sister’s wedding, so I missed the match. Had to make do with listening to the game with a Rovers fan in the car park during the Evening Do.

Remember it well, I was a ball boy. I think Gary Kemble and Lydiatt got sent off in that game IIRC, probably not.
I

looking forward to watching the match on tele up here in edinburgh,son is coming over from the otherside of the city to watch it with me,last time he came to watch was when we one the cup with danny houghtons great try saving tackle .cumon u hulllllah.

Team news imminent a few surprises

The suspense is killing me

No Houghton in 17? Mitch on bench

What's the 17 ?

That’s a lie
