he didnt even bother to attend........and it was in Leeds...

Gosh - any ideas why he didn't attend?

Mowing the pitch at Elland Road....

Work commitments at Leeds United.?

Was he at Wakey?

You've already asked that question before.

I believe Rovers beat them several weeks ago after playing the entire second half with only 12 men. Perhaps the Hetherington's should look at merging with someone

Leeds then beat them a month later.

Brilliant result well done to them.

Anyone know what's happening with HTW?

Sat at home watching Russell Howard waiting for family guy to come on

Get your backsides down to YPI tomorrow if you can, to show OUR lads some support.

Hull FC v Wigan
YPI, Chants Ave
2pm Kick off.

As per usual no mention of the under 19’s game on the clubs website or social media.

Wigan today is probably the most important game of the season so far and as a club we can not even be d to mention the young lads. Advertisement and marketing for the 19’s & 16’s games has been awful the past couple of years.

If cost saving is the main reason for the academy merger then why has not better game advertisement, marketing and game day management been used. 500+ attendances on a Saturday afternoon at a venue in Hull, not out at Bishop Burton should be easily achieved. With this level of footfall then with gate money, refreshments, merchandise sales, game sponsorship, match ball sponsorship, and a raffle etc a substantial lump could be raised at each home game that would go to off-setting the academy running costs.

Potentially academy and scholarship games could be huge money makers for the club. if someone at the club could just be bothered with the academy.

Half time 18-4 to Wigan

Great game going on 22-20 to Wigan with about 15 left

Finished 20-22. Good recovery from 4-18 and with Reece Dean going off injured.

Was a good game shame about the last minute penalty goal which hit the post and bounced the wrong side which would have given them a draw

How did Oliver Gildart go for Wigan?

I didn't g but from reports he got a couple of tries

Was impressed with him the last time they played at BB, classy centre and knows how to find his winger too

He was very, very good mate. Also mightily impressed with Shorrocks (played 6) and whilst he dropped a couple, the FB (Gabriel Fell) was very good on kick returns, very pacey.

Very good game today, lost 22-20 and we hit the post from a penalty in the last minute to tie it up.

Costly on the injury front though, with Reece Dean off with an ankle injury and in a protective boot. Also Callum Lancaster undergoing surgery tonight on a broken wrist after a late hit whilst scoring his 2nd try.

Stand outs were HTW, Jez Litten & Turgut. But it was a very high standard across the full team.

Turgut had a good try ruled out
late hit on dean
late on lancaster
ref from wigan!!!!!

If you mix 11 parts Moet to two parts Lambrini, what you have is a sparkling cocktail of awesomeness, which is exactly what the academy merger will be.

Was thinking that myself this afternoon what a great set of lads we have, outplayed in the first half they stormed back and against a team that is again held up as examples to the rest of us and who have only lost once this season we got some big injuries but almost did them. HTW really rose to the occasion when he lost his partner, while there were al lot of disgruntled fans around wondering by the end what the hell this merger is all about?? Besides that it is saving money!!

No one should ever think that everyone at the Club thinks its a good idea either because they don't!! Look what you're getting for Christmas Rovers!

Funny I was always told mix out with Moet and you get the taste of bad cider and the odd time I have tried its true.
