Not that old chestnut.

Leeds were Champions three years in a row and the city is booming, that is why it's currently a more attractive proposition than Hull.

All this about pillow talk is just garbage, people need to get a grip.

And why where they three champions three years in a row? I believe it's called ambition, top coaching and good players. What's our excuse?

Very true. The poor decisions which have been made at Hull in respect of the playing side of things have nothing to do with leeds

dont agree, we should be challenging Leeds, we should be at least as big as them with our stadium, fan base, comercial side, but we are miles behind, why is that?
It is not in the Hetherington's interests to have us up there with them, as long as she is in charge we will always play 2nd fiddle imo

Are you seriously suggesting that the Hetheringtons are conspiring to ensure that Leeds are more successful than Hull FC?

As for your point about the commercial side, financially we are doing well but Leeds are in a different league.

gary is only an employee of leeds, not a shareholder as far as I'm aware. I would have thought it would be more financially advantageous for the hetheringtons for Hull to do better than leeds.

Wouldnt be at least bit suprised, as long as we carry chugging along making a nice little profit?

We both supposedly have the same amount of salary cap to spend do we not?

I agree that there is nothing in the Hethington pillow talk theories, but the only reason we don't compete with Leeds is because we don't want too, we don't have the ambition that the big clubs do.

Gary Hetherington is a major shareholder at Leeds, along with the majority shareholder Paul Caddick.
