Even Holdsworth has a lot to prove... I'm not convinced. Without a proper partner he's average!! Every player we signed was from a team finishing below us in the bottom half last year!! Barring Ellis obviously!!

You know what, for you that's not too shabby. Topical and relevant.

Made me chuckle anyway (for the first time today).

Should have found a place for Crookes today - they didn't even put many bombs up. The lad is unlucky IMO strong runner with a bit of aggression and devil. Hull FC as a team has no devil in it. No aggressive spirit.

As above.

This is what's making me feel brassed off tonight more than anything else. We were second best (in all departments) to a third rate side this afternoon.

Simply not good enough, whatever the excuses.

Who'd have thought that we'd miss Aspinwall and Goldie? Both would have done a job for us today and they were pretty ordinary average signings last year. Really poor business done on the recruitment front this year.

Never a truer phrase there my red friend

If the rose tinted glasses and blinkers were off many FC fans yesterday, and took a look at the recent form of both FC and KR, they'd have seen two poor sides on the field yesterday, but at least your lot were a team. FC were a disgraceful bunch of "Individuals" without focus and dignity.

Cant see us going anywhere but the bottom of the league

Fooking Rovers were nearly 2/1 with the bookies as well.


Oh how I wanted to bang a big wedge on them but my moral compass would not allow it.

More fooking fool me.

I dont buy into that....Wigan bought Green and Smith who were both at lower clubs and Sts got Manu and Turner from a team who finished below them...Leeds got Moon as well from Salford.

Ok... We didn't sign one player from a team that finished in the playoffs!! And we finished 6th, nearly half the league was above us!! We didn't start with a 'top 4' squad like them and just tweaking the changes. We started with a poor squad and, in my opinion, made it poorer. Our recruitment this season is up there with the worst!!

Peter Sharp.... The legend who decided to keep a hooker to play at full back (Tony)

...... Then decided to let our only proper full back leave to Rovers (Briscoe)


........ Ohh and got rid of the the best number 7 we've had in years Brough


Peter Sharp is ONE of the reasons were in this mess today.

you're wrong on at least two of those, but don't let facts stop you.

Anyone who thinks the answer to our problems is Peter Sharp needs to give their head a bang.

preferrably with a nail studded club!

Clarify?

Sharpy doesn't fook about anyway.
Just seen him in the Sharks dressing room at half-time.

He wasnt in Hull at the game yesterday he was at Cronulla preparing to play St George,someone needs there eyes testing

John Kear ?

No, you clarify why you think that Briscoe went, and why Brough was binned...?

Lol standee ... Your comedy

1) because Sharp preferred Tony.
2) because Sharp couldn't coach Brough.

Thank god for that

again, both wrong.

and it's "you're"

hmmm i always thought Briscoe turned down his contract and looked elsewhere, then realized the grass wasn't greener somewhere else, but FC had already moved on.

As for Brough he was a pr@tt and disruptive in training.

it seems i'm wrong though my bad.

no, you are quite right.

Briscoe's agent told him to hold out for more money, he was given a final offer and dithered, so we signed someone else. Brough was a total pr1ck (and has admitted as much)

just some people with limited intelligence seem to struggle with reality, yes Brough has gone on to be a good player, but he would never have achieved that at Hull.

I maybe wrong but I was lead to believe that Sharp wasn't given the extra few grand to seal the deal with Briscoe. Re Brough it wasn't Sharp that got rid it was the chairperson who gave the order. That was the straw that broke the camels back and Sharp left as he couldnt do the job he wanted to.

1) my point is Sharp has played his part in our current problems.
2) I agree Briscoe held out for more money. As clearly our offer probably reflected Sharps opinion that he wouldn't be first choice FB. Briscoe was correct and has continued being first choice FB at every club he's been 2. We have only just replaced him in SMc. My opinion error.
3) Sharp couldn't coach Brough who left us to become an international HB. We still haven't replaced him to this day. Only my opinion but this also looks like another error.

But thank god Sharp hasn't been back to the KC. Hopefully things might get better one day.
