I'm not sure it does TBH.

Summer rugby!

What I don't want to hear are any platitudes from PG. We were very poor and unless there is a big improvement, I can't see us beating the Dobbins.

My confidence for Friday has gone down, glad for the point, for a while thought it would be a repeat of Widnes, praying that DJ and Shannon are fit for Friday and that if not we replace like for like

I thought PG had stated he would replace like for like?

I am expecting us to get dicked next week by KR.

I can hardly face going.

enough is enough , for me I refuse to spend my hard earned money on them next week . 3 x adult passes , my kids have passes , I was going to buy 3 x kids shirts but that will not be happening . Gentle is full of S H I T . we as Hull fans have heard every excuse under the sun .

That was meant to read 3 x adult tickets . But Peter Gentle says they had a good week in training well F XX KING done do it on the park

Gentle for another extension!!!! Hahaha!

Well ive got my tickets x3 and defo think we can get a result,

Yeah we had to play on a pitch that the yawnion crew had ruined for 80 minutes an hour before

Just seen some of the tries on Sky. The one by Dixon was just rank bad tackling, he skinned no one.

even gentle is hacked off with the one up drop off play we keep doing on his interview on humberside and he doesn't no why they keep doing it people blame the coach too much. i have seen them train and they do some great stuff once the players get on the pitch its down to them not gentle. the people saying its time for him to go are crazy he has improved us and you can see what he wants us to play like but for me the personnel we have on the pitch are not up to it not got a rugby brain between them

Tickle blamed himself for one try due to a poor tackle. Very honest interview.

The bottom line is that its a results game. Results count and at this moment in time with only 2 wins from 8 we are clearly not achieving what we hoped we would be. Now some feel we should be challenging for the top 2 others top 4 some happy with top 6. The reality at the moment is we will be lucky to make the 8.
Now if they train well and it looks impressive on the training pitch the only conclusion can be that its not getting through to the players. That's a problem either with player intelligence or coaching communication.
At times today it was apparent that players did not know what they were supposed to be doing. This created a situation where we had no fluency and lacked that all important cutting edge.
So who's fault is that? For me the buck stops with the man at the helm. AP has backed him. They have signed who they wanted all be it no SH. They are not performing. Some say the effort is there. well that's fair enough but it ain't a winning formula.
I read into PGs comments that he really didn't want us to play today. Happy with a draw in those conditions. That's more a defeatist attitude to me. Certainly not one that would invigorate a team in who's hands his employment relies on.
For me we have to win the next two anything less and the knives will be out. So no more talking lets shut up shop and get the job done. The performances on the pitch speak volumes, not press releases about training well.

I agree with some of the things here. PG is ultimately responsible for the performances. Blaming the players or conditions or the ref is not good enough. If the players are responsible we may as well not have a coach at all.
Its like you said a results business and if we aren't achieving this PG needs to drop players and kick their butts.
He said we have a better squad strength this season so he should use it. We all know he will be the fallguy if things dont improve.

The point raised about about our teams intelligence once they cross the whiewash is an interesting one. It was only a week ago that Hudds showed us how to win tricky games in difficult conditions. 97% completion rate and 2 errors all game. What do we serve up today? Error followed by error followed by penalty after penalty resulting in low completion rate and lack of possesion. The players need to give their heads a bang and start playing smarter, starting on good friday!

Today we had a 15 min period in second half were our discipline was poor. Silly penalties resulting in tries for the. Opposition. Similar to last week when having not given penalties we conceded two or three quickly and lost momentum and a grip on the game.
Errors were always likely today given conditions, but its how you adapt and over come them. We failed to adapt miserably. All their tries were poor on our behalf. We also failed to make any noticeable breaks and the support play was non existent.
But hey we will all be there on Friday in the belief that one day soon everything will click and we might achieve what we as fans deserve.

same as every week no one who can break the line or step other then the 2 wingers in briscoe and lineham. granted briscoe did not have a good day but every week its the same boring fc. its just showing how much we miss manu and IMO Ellis wont be a patch on him totally different players but u lose more then you gain with that swap!!!
and i know some wont agree but its my opinion

Most of today's team are Gentle signings though.

Arundel
Crookes
Lynch
Galea
Johnson
Watts
Pitts

and Crooks and Lineham were given their debuts by Gentle. So thats 9 players out of the 17 who Gentle's brought in to the side, and we still aren't performing.

relieved to get the draw in the end but far from happy with the peformance! the conditions made the game a leveller and tony rea must've thought all his christmas' had come at once with the weather today! credit to london they played wet weather rugby unlike us!

if holdsworth is going to be missing, we must have whiting at 6 as he is the only one with a rugby brain, heremaia is not the answer, he and briscoe,(who will never make a full back!) cost us the tries in the first half!

totally agree with what your saying mate and out of that bunch id pick out watts and crookes,lineham and crookes who have so far impressed me other then that i think the rest of them are not up to superleague level
galea is playing a year to much
lynch is not the same as last year
johnson was always a poor signing
pitts was just signed to make up the numbers last year
arundel well ill give him time has shown glimpses

There's an awful lot of revisionism going on.

But where still getting the same results.

You joking? Andy Lynch hasn't impressed you and isn't up to Super League level? He was in our top 3 performers all last season, playing with a broken wrist ALL SEASON, and he isn't up to Super League standard.

I can't be bothered to reply to the rest of your post, because quite frankly with your comments on Lynch you're talking out your .
