What did I say. Lose the next 3 and they’ll be calls for Tony out. Turns out you only needed 2

One of my favourite hull fc performances that.

I'm amazed you've still got an appetite after watching that garbage.

You can't always see the little details in live action, but watching the highlights, some of those defensive efforts are beyond atrocious.

There's definitely a good few players there that need taking out the team.

I'd have had them back in for tackle training tonight.

To be fair to Tony’s time with you. He took you to within 80 minutes of a grand final and Catalans were there for the taking that night but your players bottled it. Your greatest return since the conception of Super League.

We haven't done too much better so I don't think either club has the right to be bragging or belittling the other. They're both not giving their loyal support the rewards they deserve.

We can at least call upon a couple of successes in recent times to give our fans a little joy and memories to take with us.

Josh Reynolds had a classic flapping arm technique, seems a lot of the players are still influenced by it.
Professional rugby players tackling like under 11s
It’s the usual suspects. It now appears that even the new boys are doing it.

Can’t remember the last time rovers had 50+ put on them at home. It’s a regular occurrence for you lot

A few drinks numbs the pain and gives me an appetite. It's tonight when I wake up in a cold sweat that I am confronted with the fact that the nightmare was real.

So many of our signings over the years look great in their first couple of games, Reynolds MOTM in his first game, lovodua looked great in his first game, Hoy etc etc but somehow they all get dragged down to a similar performance level of the rest of the team after a few games

What annoyed me apart from everything else, I didn’t see a senior player behind the sticks giving them what for or trying to rally the troops ?

Think it’s obvious now why Leeds let Dwyer go. I’d send Taylor out on loan, he’s living off his past and thinks he’s too big to get sent out on loan. Shaul has to go on the wing against Saints, don’t think Cator is big enough but he puts more effort in than that overpaid shower !

Who are the actual leaders in the squad though? We lack an Ellis / Swain type leader that players look up to and will listen to when the chips are down

Adam Pearson is the problem. He appoints the coach and is therefore responsible for the player signings.

I [ican[/i remember the last time Rovers won a major trophy - 1985.

All I care about is the here and now. And at the minute, despite a couple bad results, rovers are arguably in the best position they’ve ever been in since superleague. What about you lot? Lol.

You get the same points whether you get beat by 50 points or 2 points. It still ends in defeat. Winning spectacularly or winning ugly is the goal.

What about if points difference gets you relegated?

You lost to Leigh at home last week

They’ve also just beat the 4x champions and WCC winners. We was awful last week and lost last minute. Average this week with some of our best players missing, was in it until the last minute. You nearly was nilled last week, humiliated again this week. Lucky in your first two against awful opposition.

Just like to say how impressed I was with the hospitality at Hull today, firstly a lady met us off the coach and gave my son a lollipop, another fan pointed me to where I needed to buy a ticket for my son (I was always coming but my sons football match was called off so I brought him and needed to buy him a ticket) where the steward told me I could save 3 quid by going straight to the turnstile, them guys were equally helpful, then after the game another fan wished us well I thanked him but no idea why I said Sam Luckley was sat with us other than he was, but overall it has to be my best away experience ever and I've been around a while and certainly never to my shame welcomed away fans like today, Well done FC i'd be happy to give my view on the match if anyone is interested ? it would be a good debate.

Not denying we are poor, but best position youve ever been in SL? You've got 4 points just like we have, theres no points awarded for 'looked ok for 79minutes but lost'

I just hope Tony Smith is still hungry, because this is actually a great challenge for a coach like him. I was hoping that he'd make some tough decisions and give some youngsters a go over under performing big earners, but so far I haven't seen it. But it's early days. Maybe today will give him a better view for the future. I thought today was a opportunity to put a young kid out in the centre with Sutcliffe out. But he chose to move Griffin back there when I thought Griffin was best kept in the back row.

I was including what’s happening off the field as well tbf. Hopefully use our marquee next year and push on for some bigger things.

"A couple of bad results" - you've only played four yet this is the "the best position they’ve ever been in since superleague". Embarassing.

Hull were terrible today but as I told you before you disappeared for a couple of weeks, we will always be the bigger club and you know it which is why you are on here.

Some of the old timers have probably pulled the wool over his eyes, they look a bit fitter, they have been making the right noises...but today shows it was a sham, what Smith does next will be interesting.

See previous post. Own ground. Building own training facilities. One of superleagues richest clubs. Rumours to be using marquee next year. Leading example for clubs in regards to img. More concerts. More money.
