cas now 5 points in front of us and I can't see us winning 3 more games than them in our 10 remaining. Does it really make any difference if we finish in 8th given we'd have a visit to cats or leeds and lose anyway?

Another season down the pan unless we pull off a minor miracle and get to wembley

You're so negative. Look at the past 3 seasons, how well have we done in the playoffs!? Oh yer.........

The fact we have a sniff of being in the top 8 with this clown in charge is a minor miracle in itself. To be honest I'm past caring, like many fans while Agar is at the helm I will continue to wrote off the season the moment it starts.

Looks a similar end to last season's.

I can see us losing at Headingley in the league, knocked out by Leeds in the cup and then out in the first round of the play offs (if we make 8th). That would mean four seasons without a playoff win and three without beating a Super League team in the Challenge Cup.

Hope I'm wrong of course but that's unfortunately how I see it.

Yep, me too.

The next 2 games will determine how our season pans out I reckon. Anything less then 2 wins and we will be in a battle for 8th with Bulls, Salford and Rovers going right down to the wire.

2 wins and a potential Easter style run may see us gain ground on Cas and Leeds but more importantly move away from the chasing pack.

We are Hull and dont do things easily so I expect the former with a defeat at the Bulls tomorrow.

Hope I am wrong.

our last 2 games were vital in terms of league standings but losing 2 those 2 teams now means we are in a battle for 7th/8th.

The best we can hope for is a loss tomorrow and then Agarrr resigns and we get the new coach factor and win a few inc CC game. Is it only me who thinks we can get rid of Agarr , pref 2 weeks b4 the CC game and we get that new coach winning run ? Morgan or Noble until end of the season and then WORLD CLASS coach

Our last game we beat Quins.



Go even further back and home defeats to the likes of Wakey and Cas have put us in this position.

We have 8th spot at the moment so it is in our hands to at least keep it if not move higher and to do that we have to perform at a consistently high standard for the next 10 rounds. What chance?

eerrrrrr , none

We wont be in a good spot at all we would be in 7th or less and that is just not good enough.

How good was Easter?

Rubbish, we'd decided not to buy any chocolate this year

Depends what you class as Easter.

I will presume they mean the Rovers/Wire/Saints games.

I got a South Sydney chocolate rabbit.

Was the chocolate green and red?

No it was cheap ty chocolate tbh.

Like Jake points out we would need to win 3 more than Cas.

So with 10 games to go we would need to win at least 6 (And hope Cas lose all of those) from Bradford/Wakey/Saints/Salford/Leeds/Wigan/Catalan/Crusaders/Cas/Warrington (I can see 4 or 5 wins from those)

To stay in the 8 we also need to keep getting better results than Rovers/Bradford & Salford

Rovers have Wire/Quins/Wakey/Crusaders/Salford/Hudds/Bradford/Saints/Catalan/Cas (Possible 5 wins i would say)

Bradford have Hull/Leeds/Cats/Cas/Hudds/Wire/Rovers/Wigan/Crusaders/Wakey (possibly 4 wins)

Cas have 4 or 5 games against teams in the bottom 6 so the odds of us catching them are slim to none. So 8th really is the best we can hope for

Chocolates always carp in Oz anyway because of the gunk they put in it to stop it melting

And expensive!

Have you tried a Cherry Ripe?

No i dont like cherrys.

Always remember when i was there everyone was getting chocolate parcels sent over as none of us would eat oz stuff

What would you guys rather see from the rest of the season, Agar continue to pick his strongest side every week and possibly end up in 8th spot or blood half a dozen or so youngsters over the next 10 games possibly finish 9th but be better equiped for next season?
From a Rovers point of view i would like us to finish in the 8 but in reality even if we do we arnt going to be a threat in the play-offs. Would rather we blood some youngsters in readiness for 2012.

Strongest team and best chance. Giving Green/Aldous/Cunningham/Kent a couple of games each isn't really going to have a material impact on next season's finishing position and even though we'll not make an impact on the play-offs if we do qualify, I'd like us to at least get there.

Can see us losing our nxt 3 games and Salford overtaking us for 8th......Hows that for progress.

If were going to miss the 8 then I'd rather we get thumped every week until the end of the season so that Agar is handed his P45 and we can start dreaming of better times ahead.

Fair enough. I cant help thinking though that from a Rovers perspective the reason that Taylor and Mariano have been such big hits this season (granted Mariano has been a big hit for somebody else) has been because they got that 3 or 4 game taster next season.
How much stronger could Hull and Rovers be next season if they each had half a dozen players in that position?
