...is that at least we can't be in contention for relegation; other than that, we have zero chance of doing anything in the SUPER 8s. Just not to standard to give any real competition for the majority of the remainder of the 8 teams.

I hope I am wrong!

And you've signed a guy from Melbourne

Technically that's a positive from the last game. Can't think of one from this game.

I guess I am trying to not be to pessimistic ...

As usual, we are just average and I am being generous when I say that.

It's just the same old, same old.

Pretty boring to be honest.

The table doesn't lie. We are an average side. Although tonight I think we've fallen short of even that standard TBH.

There you go - a positive.

We didn't concede 50 points at home.

Remote control has a button to change the channel. That was definitely a positive.

We are an around eighth placed team and most people know that. We played ok tonight but quite simply better organisation, better physicality and better coaching beat us tonight. Weve reached our level plain and simple

That would be my summary of the game tbh. I've seen some terrible performances over the last couple of years, that wasn't one of them. No we weren't great, but we would have competed with a lot of sides with that performance and beaten a few of them. Wigan were very good and showed the standards we need to aspire to.

we will finish 7 or 8 which is where we are imo , hopefully get these new players in and next year improve ,well that's the idea

Back down to earth for us and the team. Our aim from here is tbh to simply finish higher than we do at the break up point so if we finish 7th this round then anything better than that at play off point would show improvement. Not very exciting but thats where we are

Now come on that's harsh! The new floodlights look superb



Tonight showed how far behind the top 4 we are, too slow, awful passing skills and even the defence looked fragile. Happy we got in the 8, but it's going to be a long summer if we play like that.

very long summer

Last week was a celebration of mediocrity .

maybe, but still a good win

we arnt a top 6 team, we are 7 or 8 which is where we are,how many in fairness thought we would finish higher ?

Poor crowd tonight too. Don't know what was officially announced, and appreciate that Thursday night on SKY is never going to lead to a bumper crowd for any team, but it was like a morgue in there. Can't be long before Pearson is begging the fans to turn up again!

Pearson?

Man for man I believe we are a top 6 team, but the whole is much less than the sum of its parts. Put Wigan's coaching staff in charge of that squad for a couple of seasons and they would finish top 4. I'm pretty confident about that.

the team we had out tonight imo isn't a top 6 team

Indeed .

Pretty much this. Which - let's be clear - will require a significant improvement over tonight's showing.

We are not a top 4 team and that target was always beyond us despite any mathematical possibilities.

Your club has everything in place to be a top four club but what is missing? Must be really frustrating for Hull supporters.

form at home as been awful all season.

And I think it's going to lead to some awful gates this summer, in what should have been attractive games to draw the fans back in. I'd love to see the numbers of how many 'bums on seats' there are at games at the minute, and not the inflated official numbers that include pass holders who don't attend, the passes the SMC are forced to buy, the cheerleaders, the youth teams at half time etc
