They had to sign him to give Hardaker a lift

As is hardaker and co you think Leigh are In the position there are through lack of luck….

Briscoe will be on a solid 80k a year he’ll be laughing, as are all of them getting offered daft money why’d you think it didn’t take them long to all accept the offers

Didn't think Briscoe was that bad, it was Cameron Scott having the pace and turning circle of an oil tanker inside him that was the issue

Briscoe the least of our worries. . Sutcliffe Scott.Cator.Houghton.lane. to start with . Charles needs pulling out for his own benefit. Soa to slow for SR. The list goes on. Honestly I've never seen such a bunch of players who give the impression that they couldn't give a T.oss

Sutcliffe doesn't look interested, very half hearted drives. Woeful centre combo today.

Disagree, despite all their failings, that hull FC team today has more talent and experience than London's did, London don't even train full time. We should have beat them, but were out coached by Eccles, he had a game plan, stuck to it and his players bought in to the talk that today was their best chance of a win this season, our arrogant lazy lot didn't

Worth listening to Grixs interview, not a coaching program.

London looked very good today so all credit. They played all the rugby and all Hull had to offer was barge overs.

Clearly the London coach Mike Eccles targeted this game and had a plan to exploit the FC weaknesses and it worked a treat. Hull had no answer to the expensive game his team played.

Goodness what a mess Tony Smith left you with and the likes of Briscoe and Aydin are not going to change things in 2025.

Yes all true. London were very much up for it as a game they knew they could win. I imagine when your lot go there it'll be a very different story and it'll be a heavy home defeat.

All three of oiur tries came from individual efforts, there was zero attacking structure.

I don't think any Hull supporter has any expectations next year aside from improvement and maybe making the dizzying heights of 8th.

Our 8nterim coach tells us the problem isn't coaching. No surprise really but a big chunk of the problem is down to coaching

Like tony smith saying it was a long term fix to try provide himself some security and pull the wool over Adams eyes

Update - by time the Cas game comes around it'll be

82 days since our last win
294 days since the last time we scored 30+ points in a game
320 days since our last away win
355 days since our last win outside the city of Hull

Very close to a year since our last win outside the city - Warrington at Newcastle on 4th June 2023.

Gruesome.

Was like listening to Smith that.

Says how well coached London are but the reason we lost wasn't down to poor coaching. Fark me

Great (short lease deal) stadium.and lots of social media clicks for the IMG points tho...we are a zombie club

Does anyone not think houghtons totally stifling us at the play the ball? His body language and lack of intensity is alarming, zero interest in organising the runners too.

Same lack of intensity in defence in the centres too.

Jordan Lane also going through the motions, moping then having petulant brainfarts.

Swap those 4 out we improve alot,

Not seen anyone really comment yet but it’s gonna be a long old week in tribunal for a certain FC player ‘inappropriate language’ that was put on report

With Jon wells also stating ‘we all know what that will be’

We were really good that game.
Nice hat-trick from Griff weren't it.

There's a few players I wouldn't mind getting an 8 game ban...

last three

If it’s racism or homophobia you’ll be seeing a lot more than 8 games in this day and age, Ezra mam incident got 10 games and a hefty fine, all dependant on context

It feels like sacrilege to say, but we have to drop Houghton. He stalls all offensive play and we never get anything going around the ruck.

The modern hooker is essentially a halfback that can tackle. It's not all on him as our play static and there are no options but he doesn't even have the running game anymore. An absolute club legend, but it's a season too far.

I agree with Bonaire, I think it was, in that our back line has no strike. I'll omit Martin from that generalisation. I actually think he's physically there and should be a starting winger next season.

Ese is great signing. I actually felt sorry for him.

Grix is a no for me. Absolutely not what we need where we are at. I hope the club drop their primary desire for SL experience so we can shop in a bigger pool and get someone pronto.

I honestly feel sorry for you all. I just don’t see a way out when you are signing the likes of Hardaker. It’s as if the club has just given up. For years you were on the cusp of being the 3rd big club with saints and wigan.

Someone asked if we had hit rock bottom a few pages back? You'd like to think so but I think that will actually come in the next few days when we learn what the on report incident was. Last thing we need right now is a player copping a ban for a derogatory slur of some kind (although whoever it is will deserve everything they get if they are guilty).

We were well beaten by a part time team today. And well done London because they deserved that. They looked so much better organised than we did, had a game plan, played as a team, and simply wanted it more. You would genuinely think that it was us that are the part time team. And we might as well be. I'm not even sure they even deserve to be called the word "team" right now. All those improvements we had been seeing since Grix took over, all those slight changes we'd seen in attitude, defence etc... the stuff suggesting we were maybe, just maybe, turning a corner... well, none of it was on show today. That was as bad as anything we were serving up under Tony Smith. Maybe even worse.

If Grix had any hope of getting the job permanantly, he needed a win today. Feels like the players threw him under the bus a bit as they are prone to do. And until we get to the bottom of why they constantly do this, they'll continue to do this. Big job on Myler's hands to turn this around. It certainly won't happen overnight. No wonder he was talking about a seven year plan the other day!
