They'll be fine when watts,taylor,sneyd,minichello manu etc play,oh wait a minute they did play.Rugby league equivalent of leicester city,we live in hope !

The off-season has been better than the season that preceded it and the long trudge to relegation.



More than 9 months since the Oldham game and 4 since the MPG. That is long enough for hope to return - and it should linger a while this year. The middle 8s (here I go, taking it for granted we'll make them), will be bloomin' tough, but I'll worry about them nearer the time.



I'm actually back in Hull briefly this weekend, but I couldn't get Monday off, so won't be there sadly.

The games on Sunday

Had to laugh at radio Humberside today when they quoted a 'host of Stars' were missing for Hull yesterday. Ellis, green and Bowdon. Lol......give me a break.

its normally curly whirly Clarke from the hdm that spreads the sharks poo , you also forgot to mention that larroyer did not play

Agree with this,had a nosey over the road and already few disgruntled faithful.at least they can feign mock outrage at Larroyer treatment by Rovers and in the process have a bitchfit about Hudge. Hoping to watch it all go back to normal and the Radford out brigade get stuck into the usual happy clappers

Sir Stan has it. 6 months of hammering part time teams has not been something to float my boat this winter but in reality we just need to win 5 games of our last 7 and the short term job is done. Widnes are looking there for the taking from what I hear.



I agree with the analysis on Hull Kingston Radio tonight that we should be putting 50-60 past Bradford if for no other reason than our spine is better than some Super League teams. However they did say also that Huddersfield can recall Ellis for the middle eights which is the first I've heard of it and is incorrect as far as I am aware.



As team news goes it sounds like some players won't be risked but does Abdull play?

Ellis and Abdul can't be recalled and can also play against there parent clubs in the middle 8s

That confirms my understanding. I see Dane Chisholm has signed for Sheffield. I had considered he could be good use of a quota place but with such a strong spine already Sheens is right to target props.

Gonna be more challenging without our 6 easy points this season

so it seems, a bit surprised you struggled against salford second half against a lot of their u19s

The loss at Salford cost us nothing what did it cost you ? Oh out of Super league ..Championship Rugby ..enjoy

ooh you bitch

Touchy

Just when you thought it was safe to relax, along comes Jakey Boy. What have you been up to other than panicking that some of your team of megastars might be going into the season well undercooked or dare I say even carrying knocks and niggles.



I understand that Gareth O'Brien is the new cult hero. Are you a fan?

Prickly. Come back on here after the loss of your first 2 league points at Wakefield in a fortnight, eh.

Nice to see the wizard back.not the bite I expected but very enjoyable. Can't wait for wakey to pipe you first game. Would not be surprised to see both hull teams in middle 8s

Think yo have worded that wrong do you mean Hope and pray fc will be in middle eights.Sad when all you wish for is others demise.

Nah, we won't win anything this season but we need to bring through some of the younger players to take over from ellis and mini so a top 6 finish will do me if a couple of the youngsters can start to show the right quality. Top 4 a possibility but unlikely I think personally







No, josh griffin is the real hero in west hull

I'm led to believe radford will organise a kebab night for jordan if the unthinkable happens and we have to dirty ourselves playing you this season

Another forum getting derailed by the thundersharkies. Got nothing else better to do bless em.

Not others demise,just yours.

Missed the smilie at end..looking forward to Sunday and will be good to be back in the well.will enjoy watching sky matches also.as fans we can only react to what we see on the pitch but signs are promising

I was in minority on here when saying I don't think abdull is a good enough half for us.i still don't,but will hope to be proved wrong.we have to knock off a superleague team either over mini league or mpg. Ellis and Abdull whilst being good on paper at championship level don't look anywhere near strong enough versus SL pairings imo
