Not true. A couple of ageing superstars and an aussie prop who hasn't had a decent game in 3 years will set the world alight next year, just you wait. Throw in the mercurial agar and we can't fail

What an odd thread

There are a lot of odd posters

Indeed.

Why is it odd to compare our abject shoite recruitment with a club that has ambition?

Oh, hang on, I'm not sucking up to the club, that must be why it's an odd thread.

If only the markets were as predictable.

Maybe it's because you're comparing us to the team that has won the GF for the last 2 years and pretty much no one has got close too. Maybe if you'd of compared us to hudds or cas it would of been more relevant! But hang on our squad on paper is better than those 2.

What a pile of cack.

Where is this great recruitment from Leeds compared to ours for next season? Deleany - Have you even seen him play? If we had signed him people would have moaned like hell at signing an average centre and using a quota spot on him.

Eastwood is a good player and will go really well over here, who else? A Wakey prop, a Whitehaven prop and a centre from Doncaster.

It's an odd thread as you have posted the squad of the side that has won SL for the last two seasons and pointed out that our squad is not as good. Well fook me there is nothing like stating the obvious.

I don't know about people sticking up for the club but some people, of which you top the list, moan about every single thing connected to the club. Fair enough we all have a moan, but you do nothing but moan so if you want to put labels on people for how they post then you should maybe start with yourself.

Label for me - realist.

See, it's quite simple.

I'd live with that recruitment if we'd won the last 2 grand finals and were in with a good shout again this year

That could not be further from the truth.

i'm happy with our recruitment for next season. Think we look very strong on the pitch. I do have concerns about our coaching off the pitch but then i dont know anyone that doesnt!

Exactly, so we are not comparing like for like.

We've been nowhere near the Grand Final and people expect us to sign nothing but world class players. Wake up and smell the coffee!

Did you not accuse me recently of using that word, which you claimed was a tv buzz word and claimed I did not know what the word meant

It cropped up a lot whilst Istudied at University



Paul has said what most posters think, I would label you a pessimist. You have some very valid points but overall you are extremely negative about every-thing to do with our club.

Really?

And you can justify that observation how?

Even as a realist you would have a balanced opinion on issues to do with the club. The fact is you don't, all do you do is offer a worst case scenario/pessimistic opinion from everything to do Hull FC. In fact if anyone even dares to offer a balanced viewpoint you put them in the bracket that is your silly signature.

I agree with you on various issues but you never seen any good or positives in anything regarding the club these days so that does not make you a realist.

Fair enough, I disagree.

If people are happy with what is going on then fine by me, I'm not.

Are you going to be proactive with the new "HISA" or just continue to slag off the Club on here?

So which players would you buy then to make us as competitive as leeds next year?

It's not a black and white issue though. Being unhappy with the general state of the team/club does not oblige people to be unhappy with every single facet of said team/club. Over the past 6 months you do seem to have descended into a caricature of your former self IMO, determined to find negatives and criticise anything you can think of, whilst also lashing out at anyone who disagrees.

HISA will achieve nothing, so there is no point joining. The club will continue to do as they please, it's their train set afterall.

So that will be continue to slag the club on here then.

When warranted, yes. When the club next do something positive I'll happily congratulate them.
