Yep I'd go with that as it'll be disappointing to see Dwyer and Lovodua once again in the 17, Lane only stays in the 17 as we have little to no other options.

Have to say really disappointed not to see Balmforth come in to the reckoning at all which leaves me wondering whether he is in Smiths plans or not. Also disappointed Smith has banged the drum a few times about giving the younger players an opportunity towards the end of the season, yet he hasn't done so, despite the poor performances of the players he continues to select, just seems to have ended up as the same , different season once again.

for me not playing Balmforth off the bench just slaps of Smiths ill do it my way.
Just dont see the sense in playing either Dwyer or Lovodua for the last two games when they are both leaving.
Just wonder who gave Balmforth a year extension?
Whats the point of naming Martin he wont play
This Tuimavave head knock is also
Its his hamstring again.Anyone could see it was strapped up and he kept touching it all the match which you do if an injury is uncomfortable and you are not confident in it.

It is Smith's way. He's the Head coach

Difficult match to predict. Going for a big surprise with Hull to win very convincingly.

I was leaning towards a win but you just put the kibosh on that

but there again, you’re going to get one right before the end of the season, surely.

The battle for ninth!

Hope our boys are up for it to grab the glory

Lets hope they can handle the pressure.

Play the game not the occasion.

I hope we can give Watson something else to whinge about today .

McIntosh at FB and Barron on the wing. Interesting.

Why?
Its to give Hoy more game time in the halfs as he is expected to play there next season

The state of that defensive effort on Ikahihifo try

Have we tackled Connor or Lolohea yet?
soft game no one really bothered including the fans

Hoping this game has a similar reaction to the Rovers one last year, not Smith sacked (although got serious doubts) but more chances than was originally planned.

The club need to announce Tindall and Ashworth asap to cheer us all up after this performance

Nothing unexpected in this afternoon's proceedings. We are what we are, an utter shambles in all departments apart, apparently, from the academy and reserves set-up.

Pathetic.

Totally embarrassing, this is what happens when you have no accountability for poor performances.

Likely to be another hammering next week too against a team battling to win the league leaders shield, going to be difficult for the club to win the fans over for next season on the back of 6 defeats

Don't worry our world class signings will turn it all around next season.

we need Dwyer

Terrible terrible terrible. Words fail me. Bigger job than expected.

I've left...can't be bothered.

Have a good Xmas and New Year everyone

Still think Smith will not be here next season

They had no intention of playing rugby today, went for the easy option and the miracle play every time instead of rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck in. Hopefully it's the last time I have to watch Jordan Lane in a Hull FC shirt. If he has the no.12 shirt next year I won't be buying a pass.

An absolute shambles from top to bottom, loving embarrassing and yet another in the long list of capitulations when they just throw the towel in early.

Good luck to AP trying to salvage much from another year of utter failure. Being honest there’s very little to look forward to and today just made my decision to pick and choose games I go to next season
