Saints just got home at wake too so as you were so far and we are 8 points clear of the drop with 7 to go ... over sensitive? I don't think so myself for I watched some of that game again this morning before an afternoon on radio Leeds and in the cold light of 48 hours later it is still one of the worst gutless second halves I have seen in 64 years of attending games. Action needed although I doubt we will see any.
Personally think the club is in freefall and can see a massive fall in attendance next season due to poor results this season and lack of interest from supporters having been let down season after season
When you look at our recruitment Hoy and Trueman they will make little difference if changes are not made in the forwards.
We are far too lightweight in the forwards with no like for like replacement yet for Mau.In fact we could do with two new big mobile second rows as Lane is now being found out that he is lightweight and small and Savelio unfortunately is another injury prone player.
In the front row we are carrying Taylor and not seen enough of Evans to be convinced he will make the level we need, and we all know there are several senior players that need to moved on if possible
We have Fash who gives 100%, Cator, Lane and to a certain extent Brown who are all small and light for todays game so we can only afford to be playing say two in the 17.
Its pleasing to see our reserves and Academy doing well but in reality will make no difference to the first team performance or League position next season.
I seriously think Adam Pearson thinks this young player approach will be the answer to the clubs problems and why he is still supporting Hodgson as coach, but this is a long term project and you never know who from a crop of promising young players with potential will actually make the grade for first team football.
Unless Pearson creates some excitement like a couple of major signings especially in the forwards i can see a real drop in interest from supporters which will drastically effect pass sales and attendances next season to around 7/8000 and that could likely be the end of Adam Pearson at Hull fc and he may put the club up for sale.
thats only three years ago thats us Salford RLFC always re-inventing ourselves. Must admit though our recruitment is second to none poop budget and probably the only team where Aussies go back to the NRL to be potential superstars like Jacko BMM Brodie will (wonder which super league clubs are tapping him up) and Joey should have stayed. Ow don't want to go on but Tim Lafai didn't even have a gig walks into any SL team.
