You really are an angry man, why get so defensive just because someone gives an opinion. You need to relax a bit.

I'd rather play Charles and Smith, I think its better for us long term, just my opinion before you get all defensive.

Don’t tell me what to do and you didn’t give a opinion just no thanks and not just me,notice you do it to a few posts.I was talking short term as he is better than Smith but it won’t happen and il say no more as your mate the mod will be riding to the rescue soon as the fans forum clique comes in for debate

I'm not sure you understand what the word opinion means.

Not for me, is an opinion isn't it?

I also justified my reason for my opinion by giving the reason that I'd like any new signing to be a possible long term one.

Not sure what else you want.

You think it would be a good signing I don't, not sure why you ate getting so touchy about it.

The only silver lining to this season is the opportunity to get some youth out there and gift them experience.

All I need to see is signs they will be good enough. It's a step up, so they'll do things well and some things terribly, but having a season that is literally a write off means they can get a string of games, experience and we can get a good look.

Would hate to see any rash signings on more then a this season basis as we will perpetuate our existing problem.

Ratchford - no. Blocks the path and opportunity for Charles.

Hall - if just for this season, why not.

Staverley out for the season, 9 months out, absolutely gutting.

Hope we announce a new deal for him soon.

Ashworth out for about 6 weeks, Houghton out this week.

Cator and Tindall back.

If we play Cator as a hooker I'll cry.

I'd go with

Hoy
Martin
Sutcliffe
Scott
Mcintosh
Charles
Smith
Sao
Brown
Ese ese
Lane
Ockunbor
Cator

Brown
Pele
Balmforth
Jebson

Feel really sorry for Stavely one of the only players genuinely giving it his all and a bright spark of an otherwise rotten start.

Think Staveley signed an extension last season until end of 2025.

Opinion

a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

I was saying he is better than what we have currently until Truman’s return….so would be a decent loan move but it won’t happen and that is my opinion on the matter even though I don’t understand what opinion means.

You are correct, thanks, that's good news, hope the lad recovers.

What a p'sser. Staveley breaking in to the first team was just about the only positive this season.

I only hope our inexperienced backroom team are qualified to get him back to full fitness.

Hard to see how this season could get more depressing, anyone other pass holders considering not bothering going on Saturday?

The forthcoming squad announcement will be telling for the future or lack of.. for Balmforth.. If he's not in the squad this week, i feel he never will be.
Maybe, it's his attitude, fitness, or maybe signed already for another club.
Unfortunately I have a feeling that your prediction of Cator at 9 will be correct.

I did seriously consider it. I have to use public transport on Saturday and there's a rail strike so it makes it that much more awkward to get there and back. I'll be there though.

We have a poster who comes from Rugby on here plus a few from West Yorkshire and I know of someone who lives in St Helens but goes to every home game. If they can make the effort I suppose I should.

We can only hope that eventually successful times return and they will be all the sweeter having sat watching the rubbish we have now.

Tindall will play
i guess he will move McIntosh to centre and Scott to second row
still like to see what Hoy can do at 6 with Charles and give Litten a run at fullback whilst Walker is fit

Logan Moy will be in the squad for Saturday and has a good chance of making his debut.

McIntosh
Tindall
Sutcliffe
Scott
Martin
Hoy
Charles
Ese’ese
Nu
Pele
Lane
Okunbor
Cator

Smith
Sao
Brown
Gardiner

Said after the Leigh debacle followed by the lack of communication and continued silence from the club that my pass will be staying in drawer for the foreseeable. They’ve been the tipping point for me.

I’d rather spend my time doing something I’ll enjoy rather than feeling I’ve wasted it and feeling pretty down for a couple of days after.

I'm really pleased that we are seeing academy players come through albeit mainly because of injuries. At least there's something interesting to look forward to rather than watch another humiliation.

I find it hard to believe but according to his profile on the clubs official site he only weighs 10 stone!

It wont change until Smith goes.
I really cant believe how far Smith has taken us backwards.
If there is anyone out there that supports Smith and can tell me one positive to team performance since he has been here let us all know

Tony Smith offers chance to fresh Hull FC young gun with 'strong' chance of debut
Tony Smith will potentially debut another young Hull FC player this week.

then looks a right tit when he is 18th man

After Much to and fro I've decided to go. Everyone different and can certainly see The argument not to. But it's just in my blood to go. Hopefully seen an improved display.

The only reason I'm going is there's sod all on the telly and I've got feck all to do.

I read he can also play hooker so that may sway it in his favour

I'll be there with my 2 grandkids. We believe in any kind of weather.
