To be fair I think he has a point , I think you do just post to provoke people some times and he didn’t name anyone to call you out but you took it that way so you know he is right. Anyone , bask to the topic , does anyone know if we have a back rower lined up or will it be go with what we have ? Maybe it’ll bring one of the younger players more game time, they have to be tried at some point so a good preseason and we could have a new star emerge.

I'd like to see Scott. Staverly.Jebson. Severs get a chance. 4 good young lads. Rotate them around. Add in Okunbor Ashworth even maybe Carlos.

I still think we need a second row but haven't got a clue if there's one out there who is available and will improve us.

I don't like the idea of players moving positions to fill the void. Some have mentioned Scott but last season he started to fulfil his potential at centre and should continue to challenge Carlos and Sutcliffe.

We have a number of younger back rowers coming through the ranks who will get a chance but at this stage of their careers cannot be expected to be regulars.

Agree about them not being regulars but think there ready to be drip fed into the 17. Same as Balmforth. It's not as though there 17/18 . Wigan Saints do it all the time.

Agree, that's why I was disappointed we didn't give 2 or 3 an opportunity at the end of the season when there was nothing to play for.

Last word, I’ve read the post in question which is so embedded in your mind; I’ll try to explain the context so you can stop all the sniping , it is worded as a rumour and actually says doesn’t know if true or not. If people share a rumour they’ve heard take it as such , usually others have heard something similar and it sometimes spawns a decent discussion . after all it was a comment on a rumour and in no way does it imply any certainty. Now calmlly ask yourself -Do you have any idea of the posters situation , they may be suffering and to be mocked isn’t particularly helpful, is it? Have a biscuit or whatever and leave it there, you’re just looking like you want a reaction , which is very much the theme of most of your posts , usually backed up by others who tag along for a ride . Why not post something relevant and positive . You’ll feel much better if you do and might even get some good feedback , which I believe is the concept of a fan forum .
What are your views on the above and do try to be constructive , however alien that concept is to you.

I think mockery is not helpful or particularly attractive . Several times you goad a select few and you have no idea of their mental or physical state, they may be suffering and use the forum in the hope of some constructive discussion, insults and sniping isn’t what they want , unless that’s why you do it? Hull FC is a community so let’s all try to be mindful of that, I see some comments on here that should be moderated and removed, to always insult or belittle people should be sanctioned, it really is a form of bullying, which is not acceptable in any aspect of society.

If that is your definition of bullying then there's a lot of it on here. You are bullying me. All the stuff against keiththered and his mate was bullying. bonaire name calling people is presumably bullying same as posters laughing at thetalentboy's posts.

It is bullying plain and simple and I aren’t bullying you , I have called you out for the way you constantly bait certain posters to garner support for your spiteful game. I also agree that talemtboy is unfairly treated , I have never to my knowledge insulted him although I have offered a different opinion polar opposite sometimes . You use others failings then, to justify your own . You are a bully and you cannot accept it when it’s laid out in bare fact - now put me on ignore and I shall reciprocate .

All this over a bloody hairdresser

Is this an actual conversation? To call it bullying is a massive stretch.

Just seems some harmless fun. Think far worse things have been said on here.
