Feel for the likes of Charles and Moy, having to play with the shower of e around them. Charles getting flattened by Lolohea and no one ran in to protect him. Similar happened with Moy second half. Charles looked battered after 50 minutes, was having to peel himself off the deck.

Clearly not otherwise they’d be taking matters into their own hands on the pitch & ignoring Smith since he’s so useless. Instead they’re plodding along, not bothering just as they have in the past knowing it’s the coach who gets the chop & not them. They should be ashamed to show their faces in public but sadly this isn’t the case.

It won't be as bad as that.

For me the fixture has another gallant loss written all over it.

Moy and Charles could be ok in the future but there is nothing in their performances that will alter the trajectory of Hull FC. I think heaping pressure on them will be counterproductive at this stage and clearly are not ready for SL. Scoring Moy and Charles in the HDM higher than the others is building false hopes and pressure on two young kids. Both are really slight in stature and easily over played so keep them out of a poor team and get them ready if you can turn this situation around. Poor management by Smith and co.

At least we give youth a chance…noticed you didn’t say nothing about Lewis Martin who isn’t much older.How do you know we are going to over play them?Just another one who is spouting bolloxs to suit their own narrative…..oh and yes…you are a tit

Another alter ego I’ll have to add to my foes list.
Don’t worry about our young players,we’ll manage them.Something your club don’t have a lot of experience of.

Glad that some of the younger players are getting a chance.Certainly deserve it.

Who was the last international you brought through to that point? Horne? Yeaman? You've got a history of getting future superstars bigging them up then systematically destroying them. Lane was going yo be a future captain, Davy Litten was being lauded last year, now the majority want rid of both.
Your youth will go one of 2 ways, either struggle and be bit part / championship players or be good and leave.

Think you forget this is Smiths second season here and based on team performance,poor recruitment and results during his time here he deserves to be sacked.
The point i was trying to make was if we were without a coach, the players or in fact an amateur coach could not have done any worse than Smith.
we dont know what happens in the dressing room but the lack of real effort on the field seems to demonstrate that the players have had enough of Smith.
Whether thats the way players should react is debatable but one thing is clear Smith needs to go.

Cruelly transparent.

When was last time you brought a young player through apart from the gob£hite lewis.As for youth….we play ours…what about you???oh yeah…you buy…you’d sooner buy Burgess and Reynolds than back your youth

is pearson really backing youth or has he had a lot of loyal supporters pants down,hes no choice but to play them

Majority want rid of Lane & Litten??
Where’s that come from?
Apart a handful of posters on here being hyper critical of lane
I don’t know of anyone that wants them gone.

If anything , Fans would be more inclined to see Litten back at in the 17 .

big mistake not to play Litten at full back against Huddersfield and move Hoy to six to partner Charles.
After all when Walker is fit he will play full back and Hoy will either be moved to six or out of the team so would have been a good time to try out that combo.
Something new needs to be tried as Smith as a halfback is just not good enough

I think we'll persevere with Smith in the halves until Trueman is back . Isn't is twice now Hoy has had the shepherds crook and dropped from the team ?

Tex Hoy's dad not holding back in replying to the club's Instagram posts on the game

"No structure, no systems chopping and changing playing mind games, good way to coach a team" [followed by a thumbs up and a middle finger salute

"Lets see how many of the off contract players resign if the out of date no structure no systems bloke playing mind games with players the club and media is still there"

I do.

Can’t beat a bit of parental rage. Wonder how Liam Watt’s Dad is?

His lad hasn't exactly covered himself in glory since he's been here

I know injuries have played a part, but overall he has been a big disappointment, added to that he seemed have a bit of an attitude problem, I don't think he will be a big loss at all.

I'd said this a 100 times, but the one chance we have of getting out of this mess if to have 7 top (for SL) overseas players, think we have 1 at the moment (a bit early to say for Pele and Brown).

Imagine if we added in

Mcdonald
Clune
Fitzgibbon
Parcell
Yates

All players I think at some point we could have signed to Pele and Ese Ese, we would be a whole lot better as a team.

Our use of overseas spots has been nothing short of diabolical in recent times.

We've signed some real stinkers: Reynolds, Evans, Lovodua, Will Smith, Fonua, Okunbor plus others.

I mean, in fairness to him, he's not wrong

hoy is obviously not happy,he has been a bit of a disappointment,but his dad is right,its a complete shambles.

Another one I'd give the option to leave now if he wants.

Tex in a half decent team would have gone alright.
Just that we're a shower of e.
Thinking about St James Park last year. He was pretty good to be fair.
