A clique of players, whereas winning those 2 cups meant they were done, they'd reached their own little pinnacles, they lost all hunger and drive and passion for the game, as why else did they need to try, they were now legends, hometown hero's on big salarys. Why should they roll their sleeves up when the going gets tough or injury crisis's kick in, they'd be known as cup winners no matter what.

That is a huge part of what we're seeing, and I daresay the ones with the above attitude are having a big effect on those around then, Jordan Lane is a perfect example in my eyes.

I also believe Pearson hasnt a clue, we don't seem to research players mentalitys before they join us, or make the most efficient coaching appointments (Watson)

We were crying out for a firm coach who didn't suffer fools, yet we got Mr Nice whos made alot of head scratching decisions, namely for me not dropping seniors who are clearly taking the club for a ride.

As someone pointed out it was more Important giving Gale and Johnstone two of our weakest players this season a farewell, rather than give Mcnamara and Balmforth experience against a weakened Rovers team.........

Rudderless ship, I fear for the next set of decisions as we arnt getting many right.

Director of rugby needed for a start, take some decions away from Pearson and Rule.

Then a strong personality in as coach, who will move the rotto. Core on that is Taylor, Houghton and Griffin............

Lowest final league position since 2014 and you have to go back to 2009 for a full length season when we recorded fewer league points.

Nice measured response without the usual cross city bashing.

Gets boring the same old insults haha!!

Well it was a decent question to be fair, where exactly has it gone wrong, that's my take on it. Some might agree, others not.

Were crying out for some real rugby knowledge at the top of this club. It's like we've waited for umpteen seasons of injury crisis's to actually do a root and branch of our strength and conditioning.........

Bit amateur at the minute.

Well done on the win

2 wins in 9. Both against the team that was relegated.

But keep the same players who folded under radford aswell makes sense eh





Time to get rid of the deadwood players

Not only that but their recruitment is balanced with some decent players coming in.
Can see HKR in the top 6 next season with us seventh or eighth if Hodgson is still here.
Pearson must be a mug

That has to be one of the est performances I've ever seen from an "FC" team . I wouldn't even pay them for that .

Yet there are still some on here who will give him a chance because he is part of Hull FC who you cant criticise

That's being a bit optimistic.

Ruby Red, Bob, Keith the Red Cabman come on where are you? our boys took one hell of a beating

Which one or two teams do you think we'll overtake?

Top four will be strong again. Leeds will continue their resurgence under Rohan Smith you'd expect. Salford will go well again. Cas and Rovers could go either way I suppose. Warrington cannot be worse than this year and have basically replaced their pack.

Hopefully Leigh and Wakefield

I thought the FC wonder kid, Connor, really stood up to be counted today. You really need your experienced players to lead by example. Lost his cool as he often does and the dropped passes only were overshadowed by that wonderful pass to the side line.

The last available Rovers 16 really stood up today and were in he face of Hull FC from start to finish you simply had no answer.

What about Ryan Hall? Surely a shoe in now for the England world cup team.

He was exceptional today. But it was against a very, very poor team.

Vete has been terrible for you for 2 years but was the best forward on the field. Perspective is needed.

Hall is at least very good every match. His signing was decried on the forum but has proved his critics wrong,

Vete has been a disappointment overall but has steadily improved since TS left. Going on what he did in the NRL today you saw the true Albert Vete.

The difference was that HKR rose to the occasion whilst FC collapsed under the pressure.

The scene was set for me once again in the warm ups. I can count on 1 hand the amount of decent warm ups we had have this season. We look slow ,passes go into touch or bounce of a players chest and it seems like just the 1 move we try over and over again. I sit in the east stand and watch amazed some games. Said to my daughter today that was the most uninterested warm up all season we are in trouble today and yep sure was

I’d say thats being very optimistic as based on what we’ve witnessed the past two seasons under Hodgson and the lack of anything being implemented in terms structures, identity, discipline or even the basics of catching & tackling. Frankly I’d be surprised if we aren’t involved in a relegation fight.

The signings made are just not going to lift us up enough and will only leave us further behind.

Hodgson & Purtil (I’d even add Ellis to some extent too) together have had two full seasons now and we look more bereft off ideas and clueless in almost every aspect of the game under their tenure. In fact I’d wager we are actually even poorer now thdn in the worst days under Agar.

I simply can not see any option for the club to move forward than to remove Hodgson and Purtill from the club and replace them with an experienced Coach who will not stand on ceremony or allow the players to take the .

Today once again showed there is absolutely no accountability within the club.

We always do. It's well scripted.

Luckily Sutcliffe and dwyer are a big step up on what we have especially dwyer he actually offers a threat in attack from dummy half something we haven't had for 15 years

Hopefully hoy is similar to field and French if he is we'll be dark horses for sure

Crowds will drop but will be back if we're near a grand final/cup final

No chance too slow these days

And the fact makinson and Marshall are far and away better these days

Johnstone would be above him if fit aswell and Tom Davies imo

"Occasion" get a grip was basically a friendly

Hence why I've hardly spoke about the game and also lowest Derby kc crowd for super league even with cheap offers for Upper tier says it all

Was a nothing match in reality and proves both teams need a hard look at themselves

We deffo should be challenging. Rovers have had 2 good seasons since they got promoted so like 15 seasons hardly write home about eh

Think more the fact we won 3 against toulouse or we'd have been well in the poop!

For me the players have proved they won't play for a coach and have done it too many times Radford and now Hodgson

Hodgsons won't be a great coach I'll admit but THIS IS 100% THE PLAYERS they've been a disgrace for the shirt last 2 months

Brainless act in reaction to a brainless KR player deliberately kicking the ball hard and low directly at FC fans.
