Must win game if we have any chance of finishing in the top 6.

Hudds practically at full strength. Fages is a big plus for them

Jebson in the 21 is interesting, apart from that squad picks itself

Shaul really hasnt had any luck this year with injuries, but it really shows how bad our cap management has been that we went into the season with him on high pay despite having Hoy, Litten, Wynne and a few others like Mcintosh who can play full back.

Think the poor cap management has been the biggest issue that TS has had to deal with.

Just a bit of S/L pre match build up experience.

Worth watching the first two Cas trys in the reserve game, Shaul gets beat easily for both trys. Unbelievably bad deal giving him a 3 year deal,probably earnt 300k for about 10 ganes.

Especially when you think at the time of the deal he was going to to be out long term with his knee injury. Should have been a 1 year deal with a mutual deal at the end on him making a full recovery from his injury.

Think the club knew they dropped the ball with Shaul. We never announced his 3 year deal after he did his ACL.

Gave him a 3 year deal so he got his testimonial. Too much sentiment from up top unfortunately

That’s what I like about the way TS is going about the recruitment and rebuild with no sentimentality at all. It’s down to whether you are good enough and have the right attributes in terms of work ethic and attitude.

Definitely seem to be in good hands and on the right road at last with someone finally who knows what they are doing.

Satae, swift and co not good enough? Uncle Phoney manning a sinking ship unfortunately.

Good to see the rovers tosspots have returned, wonder where they were a couple of weeks ago?

They've been too busy throwing bottles and abusing Wigan fans.

Watching drop goals on repeat and booking Wembley trips. It’s not for everyone mind

Bet there is one drop goal you never watch.

If it’s the one from 2016, I often enjoy watching it. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come and keeps me grateful for the here and now.

And yet you’re first thought is to come on here and comment on FC?

STILL obsessed, and STILL in the shadow of you’re bigger, better brother.

Put him on ignore, if we all do it they will go away. Offers nothing to this forum.

Yep just ignore them, they only seem to come out from under their rocks after filling their socks when they have a win or two then return after a loss. They offer nothing in terms of discussion unlike some of the more sensible and grown up such as MR.

My initial message actually was half constructive. You said about Tony’s rebuild, but who has he actually let go? It’s on record he wanted to keep satae, the same can be said about swift and Clifford, but they’ve all left on their own accord? Shauls one that probably will be shown the door, but I don’t think there’s a single SL club that would have kept him. On top of the players leaving, you’ve only brought in ashworth and tindall, who are downgrades on what’s going out. Confused as to what this rebuild actually is?

hes building for the championship

You offer very little if anything in terms of debate or meaningful discussion. All you are doing is trying to troll/wind up but even that’s a poor attempt. Yes I mentioned a rebuild as it’s been needed for long enough and it’s in process and things are in hand, so what if you’re confused but just shows how little you know about this club.

Please stick to posting on your own fans not so secret forum and fill your boots there.

He's playing them again aswell

come on gaz make it a double

But we're still 9th and imo is a poor season if we don't make the play offs esp as we haven't been close to the play offs at all always been chasing

People talking like he's inherited a squad full of championship players

He's under pressure to deliver some sort of challenge next season

Smith is probably the most disadvantaged coach at Hull for a long while due to financial constraints, despite this he has improved us as a team and a few players too. Last year we finished 9th with 22 points, I think we will finish higher than that and get more points.

We are also playing the most entertaining rugby in years and it looks like the youth system is ready to start paying off.

I'd be happy if we have a real fight until the end of the season, recruit smarter so we don't two overseas players not good enough for the 17 and start to regularly bring players through. If we do that I'm sure we will challenge for the 6 next season.
