The second half we could barely get the ball!! Their kicking game was in a different class to ours. Unfortunately it is not easy to start throwing the ball about on your own line in pouring rain having just defended 12 sets on your own line! Has it occurred to you that there was an opposition in this game? An opposition who had better players on the field than us and who after a poor start, got themselves together and the quality told.

I've actually gone beyond that point and I'm now beginning to resent everyone/everything associated with the club.

Well maybe we should get a kicker who can kick the fecking ball to somwhere else rather then their fullback or winger????????
you seem content to watch e week in week out i want to see something different.

Totally agree. When I saw the team sheet I thought we were in for a right thrashing. Houghton, Lee and Hodgson FFS. Missing 10 players and picking up more injuries during the game yet got within 2 points. Having said that the second half was poor from us. Forwards just couldn't make any metres and the kicking game was dire. If we'd had Tony, Raynor,Berrigan, Lauaki and Manu in for Thorman, Broughton, Hodgson, Lee and Burnett, we might just have narrowed the massive 2 point gulf between the 2 sides.

and why did you think we ended up defending 12 consecutive sets?? because our kicking game was atrocious thats why

take the blinkers off, we are woeful

Warrington have been outclassed by loads of teams this season also, they are not a 'complete' side yet, but I have no doubt Tony Smith will get them there

Oh come off it with all this injury crap.
You've got a few but a couple of those blokes havent played in donkeys.
We didn't have as many injuries as yourself but if you look at our backline today compared to our strongest it was nothing but a shoddy throwtogether, i mean, Bridge on the Wing?? Anderson at centre?? Hicks didn't play which meant we lost our regular kicker and a bloke who's scored 10 tries in his last 4 games.
I'd love to know where your bloke who was telling me on the virtual terrace the other week about how Briers is utter crap has gone, because your halfbacks made Briers look like Lockyer today




Overall a very poor standard from both teams.

Long term injuries don't count any more?

The most damning statement that can ever be made about our half backs.

Never mind

I don't possess blinkers!! Overall we are not woeful, however sadly our kicking game certainly is. Kicking game was the difference between the sides in this game, which we lost by 2 points.

for how long

Warrington didnt even turn up for the first half and we still lost

we'll see how we get on at Leeds and Saints at home, then you may finally take the black and white specs off and realise just how poor we have become

Congratulations.
In the meantime Warrington are being entered in the guinness book of records as no other side has dropped that much ball and still won the game

Handbrake surely has to be a dobbin, because no self respecting hull fan could back the team after that display???

Dont worry, the spin doctors say 9 years before total death

You may disagree with this but I, as a self respecting Hull fan, would always back the team if I believed they had given it their all. In tonight's game I think they did. Do you? Or do you think Warrington won because they were more committed than us?

Warrington won because they have a proper balanced squad, including such revolutionary things as big props who can break tackles, half backs who can kick...

the majority of the players did try tonight, but overall they just arent good enough and neither are their coaches.

I am a self respecting Hull FC fan of 30+ years who has been and watched the team through thick and thin ( Barring 5 years out of the country)
I definately don;t belive they gave it their all because any 'self respecting' player who is playing as a kicker should be able to hit more than one kick a game away from the full back and winger. No matter how bad a coach is the kicker should know not to kick it straight to the opposition, and lets face it the kicker was not exactly under lots of pressure tonight.

Exactly !!! We didn't lose because of a lack of effort, far from it !!! We lost because we don't have enough forwards that actually go forward and we have the worst scrum half that SL has ever seen !!!!

So I must be a Rovers fan for backing the team because they did their best. And you are a self-respecting Hull fan because you don't back the team due to the woeful kicking game of our scrum half!

I'm glad it all makes sense!!

a bit off topic but does anyone know the attendance tonight? cheers

if you see our problem down to just a poor kicking game then you have not watched many games this season.

I think when you.....sorry...if you watch it again you'll find you did very well only when warry had 12 men on the field, it wasn't the extra quality that eventually told it was having 13 on the field that told.
