Obviously same applies to Rovers in the geographical sense but if we're being honest they must look so much more ambitious than us and as much as I hate to say it, if you were a player with no attachment/knowledge of Hull and you had Morgan and Agar trying to sign you, there really wouldn't be any contest in deciding where you'd go.

You were doing quite well up to this point.

Of course it's not black and white and I'm just a frustrated fan, you have to hope players would be wise enough to see our superior history, financial position and infrastructure... but there's no denying that Rovers are currently the top dogs in the city and Morgan is a far more dynamic, impressive and successful coach than Agar. If you were just coming across for the last 2 or 3 years of your career and were looking for a payday and to top up your trophy collection your best bet would be with Rovers

I mentioned our superior history but I guess you missed it.

They finshed above us in 2008, 2009 and knocked us out of the playoffs in 2010.

Since Rovers came into SL they have a superior win loss record in derbys to us, we won twice in the league this year thanks to a debatably disallowed try and a miracle tackle... they humiliated us when it really counted.

Justin Morgan has reached the playoffs twice and won one game, Rich Agar has reached them one in the same amount of time and lost it.

All of this is made more remarkable considering how much of a head start we had in super league over them.

Justin Morgan has a national league promotion to his name and is in demand from the media for his insight and opinions, Rich Agar has won nothing to my knowledge and can barely string a sentence together.


Need I go on?

Seems like the easy way out to me talking like that, I'm 100% black n white I'm simply looking from the point of view of an impartial aussie and stating facts.... resorting to saying i support the other team suggests you cant really contradict what i've said?

Must admit, as an outsider looking in, your main problem seems to be your coach.....You have a similar situation to what we had with Paul Cullen....Decent squad, with quite an outlay on it, yet making do with a sub-standard coach....Despite all your protests claiming different, our fortunes changing for the better only happened when we brought in a top class coach, and not when Mr Moran began chucking his cash about....He'd been doing that for a while with pretty ropey results.
