| Quote ="Mrs Barista"Blimey. Although we barely got a mention on the SL preview last night, and I wasn't giving it my full attention, the thing that struck me most was how Wigan's coach Maguire came across. Full of energy, determined, already parked last season and ready to go, and got the impression that with his sense of authority and gravitas, was someone you could absolutely believe had a nailed down plan and was ready to execute it. If I were a Wigan fan I'd be buzzing. The majority of the other coaches were miles off this standard. I know the competition's not won in the pre season press days, but feck me, if it were, Wigan have both trophies in the cabinet.'"
Whereas our coach belongs on Channel 4, Tuesdays at 9pm!

I went to a few games last season and was shocked at how bad we was yet people seem to think that we can realistically challenge. All i can say is these people must be happy accepting mediocrity and lack any passion if they think that we are a good team.'"
Who's saying we can challenge?

| Quote ="Jake the Peg"It just mirrors life though mate. Some people are happy because things could be worse, the rest of us see the potential and feel frustrated that we're not achieving it.
At the very least, a club the size of Hull, with all of it's resources, should go into every season with a realistic expectation of being able to get to the grand final and win it and go into every game confident they have the playing personnel and the gameplan to beat any side in the league. We're some way off that IMO'"
What irks me is the positivity brigade think we are lesser supporters of the team. They just don't get it IMO. We'll still be there at the bottom of NL2. Spot on post.

I do not need to I am not negative!!...couple of concerns in a nutshell h/backs & light squad, but I am confident about tomorrow, and I will remain confident unless we suffer a few too many injuries.
Posters do get slated on here if they raise concerns I must admit I never particularly noticed it before but this last week has highlighted it for me, there are times when it is difficult to debate without the your so negative remarks!

Posters on both sides get slated. And those in the middle at times. It's all got a bit childish TBH.

Agree...I hope we win tomorrow or it could get messy round here
I do not understand why just respect each others view/concerns and enjoy the debate
If we want to get messy it should be with our silly neighbours, I mean how arrogant are they AGAIN this year ![Twisted Evil icon_twisted.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_twisted.gif) , they will only end up going in hiding if it goes pete tong for them ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

I enjoy being slated. I actually think everything in the FC garden is rosy but pretend I don't so I can argue with people

If he's thinking about the CC then we might have a chance. We're not going to be challenging for the SL title though.

Nope. That's why I don't pay much attention to these kinds of articles. Plus I'd expect the players to be more optimistic than the fans TBH - they pretty much have to be.

| Quote ="carl_spackler"But we did have a very favourable draw that year TBH. We put in 1 decent defensive performance to see us home against Bradford, but other than that the only half-decent side we played was Saints. If it wasn't for the combination of Adam Dykes and Matt Peterson's ineptitude under the high ball we may well have lost to Wakey.'"
IF this and IF that. Bad as we were we would have beaten Salford in 2009 CC round IF Ian Smith wasn't the only human being in Hull to miss the forward pass. That's irrelevant as well. Ifs and buts count for nowt. Fact is we were 13 mins from lifting the CC in 2008 with an 8 stone off half and a crocked stand in full back.

I beg to differ, we caught a cruising Saints side by surprise with a breakaway try. I still didn't honestly believe we were going to win, we were outplayed.
And IF we had beaten Salford, so what? Are they a strong enough yardstick to prove that we are a strong knockout side after all?
Our knockout record against SL sides under Agar is played 6, lost 4, the 2 wins the aforemention Bradford and Wakefield. We've actually lost the last 4.

Not said anywhere we're a strong knockout side. All I said was that Agar took us to Wembley in 2008. You appear to want to belittle that achievement which is your prerogative. Agar is trying to improve the team. If he continues to do that, as he did last year good on him. If he doesn't goodbye.
