Can you imagine the outcry on here if at the start of this season Pearson or Gentle said we would struggle to make the play offs?

Damed if you do, damed if you dont.

Possibly the most one-sided officiating I've ever seen. Forward passes that weren't. Offsides that weren't. Passes off the floor that weren't. Pushing after being taken out worse than the original offence. Knock ons that were backwards. And then the inconsistency of giving penalties. From the moment the ref bottled binning Ablett (think it was him) for a professional foul (holding back one of our players on the break), I knew it was gonna be a joke.

All I can say is defensively, to only concede 3 tries against a Leeds team with all that possession near our line and most of it from dubious refereeing decisions was remarkable. In attack, we were gash, but we had to chase the game from stupid positions in wet conditions so it was always going to be a tall order.

That game has just put me right off going to any more Leeds away games. He was even wearing the same colour.

Wellsey A really good summary of what we have seen tonight - I agree with you we were gash at times but the officiating was a disgrace - After watching the SOO this week we as as a game have gone backwards.The Refs and Touch Judges were great. Some-one I know said this week to me why dont we try to bring in 6 Aussie Refs for a time - maybe 3 months - at least it would give us more options. If clubs can pay ordinary players shed loads of money to come over here then I think the RL should consider this. Opinion please?

Unbelievable. I have said this to the wife earlier. I have supported Hull Fc and Rugby League for over 35 years, through thick and thin and never have I felt so detached from the game as whole.

I feel the same. Very rarely even bother watching the SKY games live any more. Generally watch them on fast forward and just watch the tries. Can't remember the last time I bothered watching any of the other SKY RL programmes all the way through

It's a plain and simple fact that most recruitment needs to come from this country, so I'd expect him to be doing as much research as possible and watching plenty of DVDs to learn about the players around SL pretty f**king quickly.

I really don't understand why so many Hull fans seem to have a problem with ever accepting that a situation is actually as it is described, it seems that there always have to be claims that something sinister is going on.

Great post. So many moaners and conspires about alleged 'unrest' or 'fall outs'. We get it every season, funnily enough never when we're in a good run of form.

Wtf are you on about ?

Had you read the thread correctly you would have understood I was responding to a post which claims fans expectations are too high, my response was that of course they are when there are articles claiming we will make top 4!

I seem to remember Gentle saying in an interview with Humberside when he first arrived that even before he'd got here he'd spent his time watching as many dvd's of the last few seasons of superleague as possible.

The way he is shipping out players that were signed previously and feels are not the type he wants already, I would say is an indication that he wont be letting anyone come in unless he has indicated he wants them.

The club was in such a mess when AP took over that Gentle has his hands full with first team affairs without the distraction of the contract negociations once he's identified the player he wants.
