OK. shortest resignation in history but to justify myself


I am gutted to lose ,especially to hkr who ,as a club I despise

Iam desperately sorry for Tom Briscoes injury for both his sake and the clubs


I think the signing of Reardon is questionable to say the least

I agree with you on all accounts, it seems everytime we lose a game there's this dirty great list of people/players who they would like to see shot.

I also hate losing to anyone, never mind that lot from the other side.
But my wounds are healing and the scars are fading, unlike others which are gaping wide open, oozing a sour puss and are still very, very prominent.

If Reardon had signed for 'another' SL team and we were struggling for players there would be some people asking why we didn't sign him.

And NO I don't condone what he has done, before I'm accused of doing so.

I would not have questioned why we didn't sign him at all. If anything, I would have questioned with anyone signed him. This signing has sent out some terrible messages to the RL world, and shows how desperate we are. I would rather have promoted an U18 to the wing, ala Tom Briscoe last year versus Warrington, than this signing.

I can understand people having a go about the team as a whole but when they start having a slag-of-athon against individuals that's what i don't like. The list is endless of people who have been subject to witch hunts by our fans - Blacklock, Calderwood, Lee, Dowes, Dykes et al.

I post about individuals when i do i try to keep it to their abilities and technical skills (although i certainly aint no expert myself), i'm not in the know, i don't know what goes on behind the scenes or off the pitch.

We are all hurting and we are all annoyed but we all need to back the team a 100% - why? Because if we don't no one else will.

Did we show commitment yesterday? No we didnt, apart from a 20 minute spell in the second half.

When we did play with energy we didn't seem to have a clue with ball in hand and no organisation what so ever. Players didn't know where to run or have any set plays close to the try line.

Its been like this for the last 3 or 4 weeks and just not good enough.

Watching a forward take a ball from a near standing start and run into a wall of defenders and see how long he can stay standing for isn't my idea of Rugby League.

Now this isn't a rant because we've lost a game. The way we've been playing is simply boring, predictable and ineffective.

To add to the insult to read todays paper and see Agars comments of 'we're not a million miles away'. Richard get a grip pal we're atrocious. If under your coaching good players haven't the confidence to pass a ball down the line then something is wrong.

Bang on. We looked like we couldn't be d again until around the 60th minute. Not good enough.

Rovers had eased off the gas by then and were looking to Mondays game against Shudders

Why will all your Easter eggs be gone Greedy Basta-- next you will tell us you feel SICK
you going on Monday then Karl

The worst thing this weekend is signing Reardon, when he's on his way to the big house.

What a four king joke

I don't know if he will be imprisoned, but by joining Hull who have just launched this project for working with the perpetrator - not the victim, admitting he was wrong, apologising and saying he would work with any community schemes we have, he may have just saved himself a sentence. Hull as a club cannot say they back a scheme for working with the perpetrator and then refuse to sign someone because of their crime.

I do not condone physical violence at all.

Agree with you.

Totally agree

Who had the gun to their heads forcing them to sign him? They had a choice in this. It's nothing to do with "refusing" to sign him

Indeed. You would hope that should Reardon avoid a custodial sentence on 23rd then he becomes involved in the Strength to Change campaign.

The figures on domestic violence are shocking - 25,000 female victims a year in Hull alone, which suggests something like a quarter of all women in the city.

Sir P, youll be suicidal when the next news comes officiall out then

Any man who hits a woman is totally out of order,and a coward as well.

Don't think anyone will be 'suicidal' mate! Think we're all resigned to it anyway!

WOW breaking news!!!
he's not coming??????
been telling you all that for months now...

Crocker is

Finally someone with bit of sense

A very good point. The fact that he has also publically expressed regret for his actions is undoubtedly a plus as well.

R.I.P

The perpetrator scheme is a partnership initiative between NHS Hull, Hull Citysafe, that Hull FC allowed to be launched to a massive audience. I went to a lower key launch of the same event at the beginning of last week (as the partnership manager of Hull Citysafe) where the talk was about real men admitting the strength to change. I would hope that Hull FC will be in contact this week to encourage Mr. Reardon to enrol on the programme. I like you do not condone violence and would hope that the club and the player see the chance to show what he did was wrong on so many levels, but if the remorse he mentions in all the press releases is genuine, then should he be allowed to show that he is working to reform what he now knows is wholly unacceptable behaviour.
