Just got back from the game, disappointed is an understatement, I like many have had a huge dose of false hope during the Easter period up until tonight. We may have just turned a corner...., certainly a small corner, as we are taking steps back now.

I cannot help but notice how lethargic we are are times with the ball in hand, our defense I cannot question, O.K fair enough we are still shipping points in, and yes you shouldn't have to defend if you can attack, that's the normal saying, but in all honesty, we have soaked pressure up, the problem, infact the major problem in the key area for me is the ability to turn that defense into attack.

Injuries can no longer be an excuse we have had that for to many seasons now, look at Leeds, Saints etc, the injuries they have, but they have something we don't, THATS PRIDE and PASSION! If some of these players (I can name a few today) don't want to put a shift in for the badge on their chest, then for me they can F OFF.

We do need a change, but it's pinpointing the exact problem. It's like past seasons, no matter what coach we had, or new set of players, we always gave penalties (cheap ones aswell) for no reason, it's the same now, we always give away the ball, or self destruct, do one good thing, 2 bad things. That will not win us games! O.K maybe against the likes of Salford, Crusaders etc (no disrespect) but against teams that are physically, and technically better than us or on par (or like rovers physiologically stronger) it's not good enough, and we are not going to progress.

I think the main problem lies higher up (board room level). - and WE certainly need new coaching staff.

Next topic is Longy, sorry but he needs to go, to injury prone, why oh why do we sign these type of players? Was it only the deluded RICHARD AGAR and Rule that could not get the hint of why Saints only offered him a 1 year extension? oh but no, so we go and offer him a 2 year deal!

I think we go for all these has beens, for the image of the club, the board don't give a F about us (the fans) they consistently fail to see what us fans see, so long as we buy their shirts and other merchandise, and pay for season passes, tickets etc, they won't do nothing.

This season I fear is a season where we have to bite out teeth once again, wait until the end of the season and if there's no change, don't renew, that's the only way to get rid of Agar. But ideally I just don't want agar out, i want a change at all levels, right through from youth to the coaches, fitness staff etc.

To conclude this post, I would like to be totally honest and say that some of the Hull F.C fans today at the game was deluded as hell, arguing with the dobbins fans in the well section of the west stand, let's face it we are not a GRADE A Superleague team, our facilities maybe, but as for playing rugby league I would give it a D for DULL.

We all love our team of course, but only kidding/lieing to ourselves won't help. We are not a big team, top 4, or even a regular top 6 side.

As for todays game, (my dad phoned me up) and said Humberside are making it out to be a cracker. Well I must have been at a different game today! Todays game was 2 average teams (with one team being Hull F.C whom is much stronger on paper) against Hull KR another average side with first team regulars missing. It was a defensive game, with teams capitalizing on each others errors, hardly a spectacle!

Anyhow -I may have or may have not peed a few fellow fans off with this post, but i'll always say what I feel, and speak the truth.

Time to do something much more rewarding than watching the Richard Agar BLOW , spending time with my kids!

I must not forget, Hull KR won it because they wanted it more than us, they always do, every derby, just once in a blue moon Hull F.C show up, hence why we have won only a couple of derbys.

Dobbo Hull

Only showed a bit of fire in their belly when lauaki had his fight . Rovers were poor aswell just we didn't want it and had no game plan

Nobody gives a flying one what you say Dobbo. A win next week and youll be back on the bandwagon. You are the most fickle fan on here, now do one and leave the posting to fans who stand by their conviction and dont change their mind every week.

As I said, i'll say what I feel and what's the truth, I'm a hull F.C fan, like you, as for the bandwagon, I said a few weeks back, if the teams winning ill support them, if the team is loosing i'll support them, I even said that nothing will change my mind on agar, I have always wanted him gone.

It's also a forum, a place for debate, your off topic, don't be getting a warning now, the topic is rugby league, not me suppose to being fickle "stop trouble causing".

O'Meley's hit on Netherton was pretty big

Nice edit.



And for what its worth im actually an arrogant pr!ck who stands by his convictions.

shame a big hit does not = 2 points

Peace you two!

O meley had a great game today ur backs let u down today

dobbo did say "trust me on this one my source dosent get much better than this"when he told us on february 22 that rich agar would be replaced by brian noble if we lost to huddersfield on that sunday why should i listen to him now

Dobbo get a grip and support ya team without changing ya mind every 2 games !!

In the game at the KC we were offloading the ball for fun, today was totally different, I think it is a knock on effect from dropping the ball so much last week.

tell it how it is seb

Backs barely got a running chance, thought our forwards went missing big style in the second half, including O'Meley. We seem more interested in playing the big man and trying to put in big hits rather than rolling our sleeves up and doing some proper work.

That's becoming a habit I think with the backs.

Well if it did, Taylor certainly wouldn't have got you them with his feeble effort on Moa. Shame these are two of the very little positives that came from the game for us. Thoughout Rovers defended well but we really should have taken our chances. Now go have some fun till next year

He got up, unhurt, so it wasn't as big a hit as you think

What would that matter? We don't cheer injuries anyway.

Since when does a big hit mean an injured player?

That was a dire game and if you didn't know better, you would have thought it was the bottom two teams in the comp playing.

It was just an embarrassing display from us but nothing new to what we have become used to over the past few years under this coach. On paper I would consider most of our team today stronger than the team Rovers had out but we never have a game plan to make use of our superior players.

I have no doubt attack wise, we are the worst side in the league. Our dull brand of rugby gets us nowhere most of the time, other than exceptional individual efforts (usually by Manu) or Westerman today. Next to no dummy runners, no angles, poor support play, we are so easy to defend against. In the past the excuse has always been injuries to half backs, to an extent that applies to this year but for me it's not a valid excuse. Look at Saints most of this season, Huddersfield tonight had Brown missing but it didn't make one bit of difference, their attack was still exciting and effective.

Our kicking game also lets us down and has done for years. It took us until the last few minutes to put a bomb up to Colbon who is renowned for being extremely dodgy under the high ball and guess what, he got absolutely nowhere near it . The rest of the game was made up of nothing kicks along the floor or poorly aimed kicks to the corner, we're just not helping ourselves.

It's been said a thousand times but look what happened when Huddersfield, Wigan and Warrington got themselves a top coach, they improved beyond belief. We should be competing with those sides but we're so far short its not even funny anymore.

Oh and Jordan Turner shouldn't be allowed anywhere near stand off again. I can't remember him having one good game there so far and he's had enough opportunities. Back up centre or nothing for me.

Completely agree with all of the above post!!!

It was a massive hit to be fair. O'Meley was calling out Netherton all through that set of 6. I can only imagine that Netherton had done something to him in the scuffle. To Nethertons credit he was happy to oblige, although he did come off second best!
The most noticeable thing for me though was that in Hulls next set of 6 O'Meley didnt give Netherton the chance for a square up and didnt even go near the ball.
I actually thought that he had taken over Gleesons right centre spot.

Yeah, o'meley is definitely scared of netherton

We have no kicking game (thanks Peter Sharp) and this has not being addressed for 4 maybe 5 seasons. We are another prop too short, when O'Meley goes off they is a lack of go forward. All the players as a team are just not quick enough nor smart enough.

We keep signing 30+ players, no youth coming through. FFS Rule wake up and smell the coffee. Act now or we'll be spending another 4 seasons trying to rectify this clowns mess.

"FFS Rule wake up and smell the coffee. Act now or we'll be spending another 4 seasons trying to rectify this clowns mess."

You can't say that. Don't forget that prior to losing to Huddersfield and Rovers we were on an amazing unbeaten run which included victories over Oldham, Rovers, Widnes and Salford (yes, we beat Warrington and fair play to the team that day). Don't forget as well that we squandered an 18 nil lead against Saints' reserves as part of that brilliant run of results!!!
