Rich Whiting ‏@Stilts84
Can only apologise to the FC fans that attended that the teams effort on the field didn't reflect the effort you made to travel over

Good to know the players and radford have shown the respect to one of hulls favourite players,by a fantastic whole hearted performance against featherstone.I know its only a friendly but what a pathetic performance against a team a division below.
As a rovers supporter all I can say is sorry to richard whiting who is my favourite fc player and deserved so much better. A total embarrassment to the club.

Not read all the posts yet but even though DesLawson is a pretty poor troll his/her comments sum it up brilliantly for me. The players have certainly let Stilts down today.

Makes my pisssss boil in these games people always talk about how many players the super league side have missing. Rovers had loads out today as well, both our main half back pairing wernt playing Briggs and Kain neither

The whole team, infact, you weren't even playing.

Apologies for mixing you up with the other "Rovers".

What caught me out was you saying that your main half back pairing weren't playing.

What I should have said was we weren't playing today!

What is Hull's fascination with army camps? The whole idea of pre-season is to refresh the body, make it bigger, stronger and faster. To do this you need plenty of the right foods and plenty of rest/sleep as well as the correct training.
The whole concept of these army camps is based around depriving the body of food and sleep. It is totally self-defeating for a Super League club to be embarking on one in pre-season.

Didn't Huddersfield do something similar last preseason?

To those who went - What did you think of the ground improvements?

Looks good, had to bob up and down as the crossbar on the posts was in the way but if it had been a league/cup game i am sure i would have moved around for a better view. The only downside i could see was the bottlenecks caused at half and full time as people went to the toilets or left the ground.

Thank you,the day was all about richard whiting and to lay down like they did is a shambles.He is one player you can guarantee will give his best,every game and for me radford has disrespected him and the supporters who went to give him their support. A disgrace,but of course most of you wont accept it because the post came from me.The truth sometimes is hard to bear.
