Hull did ok against us yesterday but that whinging rip Agar takes the biscuit. If the refs not going to defend our players blah, blah, blah. Tackling technique killing the game, blah, blah, blah. He should concentrate on getting the best out of his squad, a very good squad imo and stop with the excuses. Fact is 4 games in, 3 losses notched up.

He now my favourite to be the first coach sacked this season.

We can all wish he is the first coach to get sacked. As a Hull FC fan our rugby has been very poor since he has been in charge. Although we looked better yesterday then we have done, I'd rather see the back of him and so would a lot of FC fans. His win ratio is less than 50% which is poor for a club that boasts decent attendances, a grade A licence, a great stadium and a squad that on paper should be challenging for the top 4.

OLD FAITHFUL!

So we're only 5 weeks into the season and already 2 coaches have voiced concern over tackling "technique".
At least when Saints were champions they did it fairly, with class and dignity.

Are you being serious? Or are you just another bitter Hull fan on a wind-up mission?

And for a bonus point - how many victories did those coaches get between them?

Class & Dignity are two words that have never been used in the same sentence to describe St Helens not with a straight face.

I dare you to watch all of our tries from last season and claim we did not win with class! We were awesome at your place and played some quality rugby....

Hull didn't exactly come to our place with class and dignity did they? They got shown up.

YES! My new favourite "Bitter post of the season" so far!

Your tactics yesterday where a prime example of a team who cannot match the top 4 sides in this competition. You came with a game plan to slow Wigan down, lie all over the play the ball and a desire to send Wigan players back to the dressing room early.

Manu's actions towards Sam Tomkins where nothing short of cowardly, one thing RL players dont need to do is try and prove how tough they are. Did Manu have a Mrs watching in the stands? "Look at me Love, im rock hard".

Hull couldnt finish Wigan off, even with us having 12 men for the last 15 minutes.

Wigan proved why they are the current champions, Hull proved they will just be making up the numbers yet again.

To be fair I don't expect anyone to agree on here, but your tackling techniques are a disgrace. Its well known within the game, don't be surprised when teams do the same back.
Agar was completely right to raise the issue. As was Potter, the difference being Potter did it before the game and made himself look like he was begging for help.

As opposed to looking like a very bad loser?

Either way, they both sounded like whiney little schoolgirls.

Please would you explain why our tackling techniques are a disgrace?

And arent you contradicting yourself anyway when you say 'dont be surprised when teams do the same back' so is your team a disgrace for doing the same?

ok, lets have the debate,
what is the problem with our technique and provide examples,
Im sick of coaches and fans slating our technique without any real foundation

I'd just like to see this imaginary rule book which states Wigan's "tackling technique" is illegal I mean it must be because we are the Champions and are currently undefeated this season.

I could go into detail about the excessive force put on players shoulders, knees and ankles but, tbh, you know as well as I do that your players do it so there's little point. You're not in the same league as Leeds and Saints were.

no explain, comments like that just make u seem foolish and that you have no evidence to back yourself up.

If I thought for one second you could take an objective view point I would be happy to have the debate.

well i guess you have no reason to be here, jog on!

I suppose not, but just answer me one question, do you honestly think when so many people have complained that there's nothing in it?

Perhaps there is but its no worse than the rest of the league and people have always hated us and picked us up for stupid things.
Sort your own team out before looking at ours. You got much worse offenders and players with bad techniques in your side.

Your full of sh*t.


Enjoy years and years of mediocrity at Hull FC. Before this weekend I felt sorry for your club, thought your fans deserved a club like Hull KR but you deserve the crap you have to watch week in week out because you are all full of it anyway!
Give it a few years and Hull KR will be in a better state than you off the field as well as on it.

Last time I checked "no smoke without fire" wasn't a justified reason for an accusation to stick. Until anyone actually comes up with a properly backed up case for our entire team's tackling technique to come under scrutiny, it will all just come across as sour grapes because their team just got beaten by us

B0llocks they will. The only thing wrong with our club is that our coach is carp. We have the best ground in the league and haven't had a crowd of lower than 10000 for years, one of only a handful of clubs that make a profit and have good junior development. Whereas they have a crumbling tip of a ground, high debts and a team full of Aussies.

Not at all no, current man of steel, second top points scorers, current young player of the year, league leaders shield and grand final champions.

Im afraid "19 leagues" this poster is correct, Hull are in a far better state than Hull KR. Big crowds, best stadium, good youth set up. To say Hull KR will be in a better state soon is ridiculous. Hull are a massive club.
