Under LR we simply haven’t kicked on
We’ve gone backwards
You can’t draw any other conclusion other than he is not the man for the job

Look at Watson at Salford
Even Ward at London

They’re both doing amazing jobs

I’m already blue in the face over whether LR is the right man

I’m just confused that AP sees so
Much in him

When it wasn’t AP’s money in soccer he would fire coaches with ease

It’s a strange one for sure as LR is a spent force

Just watched Mel v can!! Wow, it’s like a different game, all action for 80 mins, plenty of errors, but just continually back them up with unbelievably defence and attack, I don’t think the gap in quality between nrl v sl as ever been so big. Just the reminder I needed to what a great game rl can be, after watch our awful game yesterday

Re: Salford (Home) : Sun Aug 18, 2019 11:31 am  

I appreciate the buck stops with Radford, but some of the basic errors made yesterday must make LR wonder why he bothers at all.

First set we have the ball, knocked on during 2nd tackle - result Salford Try. Houghton Knocks one, result, Salfords 3rd try. 2 cheap penalties early in second half, result Salfords 4th and 5th tries. Sneyd may as well have told Welham it was his ball, result their 6th try. Short kick of, we retain possession to then go for a miracle off load, results try No. 7.

We were poorer today then when wire and st's racked up 60+ on us. Salford were good enough to punish our errors.

Conner needs to be in the centres and not 6.

One of the saddest things for me is that I'm not enjoying being a Hull fan right now. We all know that there's only two trophies on offer and you can't win everything so results and league placings that don't meet my expectations I can live with. Indeed, fans of most sports do. What's really churning my stomach over the last few years (including 2016/17) is the lack of repect and integrity right across the board. From the ever escalating on field cheating and confrontational attitude towards officials to the apathetic attitude of the players and coaching staff and the continuous drivel in the press about how we're going to do this and that without an ounce of commitment when it comes to it! It's making me very disolusioned about the game I've loved for thirty years. The very fact that I rocked up to last night's game knowing how big it was but expecting us to fall flat on our faces (albeit not in such spectacular fashion) just hightlights how predictably poor we are on a regular basis. I fear another terrible end to the season. Only decades of ingrained loyalty to a club and a sport that doesn't appear to care about it's fans keeps me going. I'm now going to sit in a dark corner and cry.

Re: Salford (Home) : Sun Aug 18, 2019 11:52 am  

I think apathy towards the game in general is spreading. Many people I know don’t even bother watching the televised games now, and are fans due to a long seated sense of loyalty.

As for Hull, we have more things in our favour than not.
An ambitious owner, good 2020 squad and a large and loyal fan base.
We’ve treaded water the last couple of years, but I really can’t see AP being happy with that next season. It’s a big year in many ways I reckon, and if we aren’t competing at the top end I can’t see AP sitting on his hands.

Don’t even think about watching nrl mr glory as it will ruin watching the game here, I fell for it and now watching my club(hkr) it kills it, it’s like driving a Ferrari to pick up your metro city e, at least your picking up an mg montego.

Re: Salford (Home) : Sun Aug 18, 2019 12:05 pm  

Why would AP want to write this season and last one off ??
Why ?
We were very good in 16-17
That was meant to be the start

It was

The start of something garbage

I just view it now that I’m watching two different sports!

big 3 games coming up, win 2 and we should make 4th, I rememember a lot on here saying at the beginning of the season we would be 6th or lower some saying around 8th, so if we do finish 4th its a big improvement on last year, Saying that performances like last night are really disappointing, it needs to be sorted, am sure Radford is pulling his hair out today, but he wont be going anywhere soon, But I also think next year is gonna be a big year, on paper our pack should be one of the best in the league, if we are still struggling with big defeats then things may and will change I believe, 2 weeks rest big players to come back, a must win game against hudds and we could be 3rd,

But I bought four season tickets for this year, jam tomorrow. I never worry about losing or being duffed up, but last night, can be summed up by Hastings try at the end, we watched, we waited, we capitulated. No effort, no desire, no game plan, and seemingly no worries.

I stayed and clapped em off, I always do, but inwardly I was disgusted, deflated, and fekin angry.
