Quote ="tonyanl"Remember 1982!
We were hopeless last night, outplayed by Leeds in every aspect of the game, and still light years behind the top teams in the compn. Looking at the fixtures still to play, compared to Rovers, it is going to be very hard to finish to even 8th, and you can`t realistically see us beating Leeds next week, especially after the way they thrashed us with an under strength side earlier ths season......., or is there still some hope?!
We were beaten easily by Widnes in the Premiership final of 1982, and nobody gave us much hope of turning it round a week later in the Challenge Cup replay, but look what happened at Elland Road, one of the finest performances in Hull`s history. Can we do it again?
No, no, no, don`t be silly-- I`ve just remembered a minor detail, we did have Norton, Crooks, Topliss, Kemble,etc. playing in the side - power, pace, proper half- backs/loose forward, and ball players across the park!!
Dream on, Agar must go.'"
Big difference in 82 was that we played good rugby for large parts of the season with the occasional blip into mediocrity. In 2011 we play mediocre rugby for large parts and occasional blips of good rugby.
