Relax Clive



But yeh, I would drop him for this game. He was atrocious against Huddersfield and didn't want to know (not on his own there by any means). I wouldn't agree that he gives 110% every game, or that he's been our stand out player this season. That accolade goes to Mini IMO. Pryce has had some decent games, but some quiet ones too.

So on that basis, you'd be dropping most of the other players as well!!

The team I did was on one of the previous pages, you see that?

Pryce has easily been our top 3 performers along with Paea and Mini, Ok he was poor last week (Carrying a knock I reckon), but who wasn't?

Looks our most dangerous player and one of the few who looks like creating something and making a break, for a a side who doesn't score many points to drop one of their best attacking players after one poor game would be ridiculous, he is miles better than any other stand off we have at the club.

Pryce could do with a week off. Not because he had a bad game, but because he has put his body on the line every single week.

One bad game in 12? Get real.

We're playing a decimated Salford tomorrow Dave, not Leeds.

I wouldn't agree that everyone was poor last week, but Pryce was one of em. I don't think he's been that good for a few games now, at the beginning of the season he looked great. Two try assists in 11 SL games doesn't point to him being some kind of creative genius.




What does this even mean? He's a rugby player.

We would score a lot more trys if we backed him up, so many times he looks to pass and their is nobody there.

Nobody is saying he is a genius but he is the best we have.

You only have to look our lost we looked when he went off against Sheffield.

Not sure what your first point is?

You reckon we're good enough to leave out some of our better players even against a 'decimated' Salford? We weren't exactly convincing in beating Sheffield with our best available side out. There's every chance we could lose on Friday without having to muck around with the team.

And funny how some of Salford's injuries are clearing up for fri

I just don't think that Pryce has been adding much value to the side lately, culminating in his performance last week. He certainly hasn't been as vital to our side as some are making out. He was much better early in the season (perhaps as someone mentioned, he has been carrying a knock?).

I think Abdull is more than capable of putting in a good performance at 6, Rankin too.

Rankin is actually top of our Try Assists with six. Sneyd has five, Pryce two. Pryce hasn't made a clean break all year either. He's not the attacking threat he's been made out to be.

That's true. Looking at their squad, it's not as poor as it was expected to be a few days ago. No Martin Gleeson

TBH.. I'd take Gleeson over Yeaman anyday.

pryce is probably sick of being about 3 steps ahead of the rest of the team

This.

I'm not even going, I can't be d, it's soul destroying and I fear the worst TBH.

Saddens me really but I've had enough for now.

32-14 to FC! #COYH

Nothing less than a comprehensive victory with some attacking moves on display is acceptable tonight with the team Salford are putting out, we need entertainment!

This!! It really is last chance saloon for Pearson and Radford. People will walk in large numbers if the result goes the wrong way.

Our signing for next year has been passed fit to play for them tonight unfortunately.

What is our lowest SL crowd? Spoke to a few people that normally pay on the day and aren't bothering. Out of the 6 that I normally go with, all with passes, only two of us are going.

I'm only going as I have nothing better to do and it gets me out of the house.

Something drastic needs to happen at the club or I really fear for our future.

I'm sick to the back teeth of reading HDM pieces such as this from our players and coaches:

[urlhttp://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/s-crisis-Hull-FC-8211-Kirk-Yeaman-says-plenty/story-26420012-detail/story.html[/url

Whether it's Yeaman or anyone else I've had enough of reading how we're not far away and the league is condensed etc. etc. Where is the confidence that 'the squad can be much better' exactly coming from ? As for the idea that we've been playing OK in the matches previous to Hudds it surprises me how they think they can pull the wool over supporters' eyes in such a fashion. We've played OK in 3 possibly 4 games this season - the rest has been below standard - some like last week off the scale. But the real thing that gets me is this idea that our players and coaches talk about not having enough desire and enthusiasm on such a regular basis. Put another way this is actually a pretty disgraceful admission that they are going to work on match day (and therefore more than likely in the week as well) not really being d about the result or their individual and collective performance.

What needs doing is for the players and coaches to collectively shut the **** up and actually go out there and produce to the best of their ability week in and week out. I'll be going again tonight but don't blame others for not doing so - when representatives of the club effectively admit that they're not putting anywhere near enough effort and enthusiasm in from their side then why would they think that supporters must do so ad infinitum?

So - stop chucking the ball sideways to the next man along without committing anyone in front of you. Instead of standing with your finger up your rear make a decoy run when the half gets near the line. Run three times harder into the collision in attack and defence and chase and challenge for the kicks like you see other professionals in other teams doing on a regular basis. Fight hard to get up and play the ball at every tackle like your life depends on it, and back up the forward drives to make the opposition actually make some decisions that might therefore mean they get some of them wrong.

In summary STOP TELLING US IN THE MEDIA THAT IT WILL GET BETTER AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY BECAUSE THE LEAGUE IS CLOSE. INSTEAD GO OUT AND REPRESENT HULL FC (A CLUB YOU ARE PRIVILEGED TO BE PLAYING FOR IN ITS 150th YEAR) AT THE STANDARD REQUIRED FOR SUPER LEAGUE. PUT IN THE MAXIMUM EFFORT POSSIBLE WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTE BASE MINIMUM THAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING EVERY WEEK WITHOUT FAIL.

If you do that then you might find that playing at home becomes more enjoyable and the empty seats start filling again. At Hull FC we've seen some brilliant players play for us over the years and there's no doubt that the current staff structure from the coaches downwards is way off the level of some of the teams we've seen in the past. But in actual fact at Hull FC if the fans see the desire and enthusiasm for the shirt and for them then they will support the team through wins and losses. We can cover to some extent for a lack of pace and strike and skill if every man works his tits off for the cause. I don't understand why we're having to ask for this because it should be a given, but putting that to one side now's the time to break out of this morass of crap and start putting down some standards that this great club and its supporters deserve.

Best post on here for weeks

Now that should be emailed to Adam Pearson (perhaps minus the couple of expletives).

Same for me as well. I'm still attending but the guys I've sat & stood with for years have had enough.
The only reason I'm going tonight is because, like yourself, it gets me out of the house, quite frankly!

The club as a whole, and Adam Pearson in particular, seem to be sleepwalking towards disaster. Unless significant changes are made to the structure of the club, we will be relegated before this decade is out, the consequences of which could be terminal.

Also:



There's been a fair bit of evidence to the contrary over the last few years, not a wise choice of words in a piece that is specifically attitude and performance issues IMO.

I still disagree and believe me I am one of the most calm people you could meet, ask the wife. Er better not.
How often do you read the half backs can't play well behind beaten pack. That was the case last Friday. Plus there were no runners looking for a pass etc etc.
Lets hope we play better tonight and for the rest of the season. I don't hold out much hope.
