He's extremely bitter but unable to think of a negative rumour about Hull FC so he put that in the forlorn hope that Hull FC fans will worry about impending doom.

Can Guarantee you I'm not bitter, was just a bit bored and decided to join in the making stuff up party that is the basis of this thread... should have added FACT somewhere in there for added gravitas.

Bottom line is, we are playing a bit crud, our neighbours are playing well, unfounded rumours always surround teams not doing too well but lets be honest 99% of them are just made up stuff. Kelly is out of form, playing as a sole halfback will do that to him, was the same last year once Campo was out. Campo will play again, for how long is the question.

Green's future will be what it is, he's going well for us but he isn't the superstar some are making out, runs in hard but makes less impact than some will have you believe and isn't the best defender, the difference between him and Tilse isn't the gulf some are making out, yet Green will be lauded as MOS material and Tilse NL2 (or whatever its called now) fodder.

I agree about tilse and green standing in the east stand tilse was getting slagged off but I thought he played quite well against cas and he's a lot better defender than green I like green and hope he stays but like you say he's not the superstar some seem to think

Shock Horror. Discounting the unfortunate Josh Mantellato, Tilse is vying with Bobby Blair to be my Rovers player of the year to date.

Here is the Hull FC plan for 2016. Win the CC Final, lose to Wigan in the Grand Final.

As a result, add 2500 to next year's season membership sales and increase average attendances by more than 5k a game. Sign Benji Marshall as the marquee player for 2017.

We pick up Leon Pryce because he fits our profile. Plenty of experience, cheap, injury prone and over the hill and sign Richard Whiting on loan. Result.

BTW - Anybody know what's in this latest legal high I've just taken besides garlic and gripe water?

Pryce will go to Bradford. Yeamo will do a job at 6 for a year though, don't worry

Tilse reminds me of Peter Cusack when he played for us. Alot of casual fans don't like them because they do nothing to catch the eye, but a scholar of the game would see the value they bring to the side. Tilse isn't a world beater, but he's solid enough.

You don't notice what he does because he is a hides out and does nothing, against Castleford they had us down at our end green took the 1st drive then a outside back took the 2nd drive then green took the 3rd the next 2 drives where taken by back row and where was tilse while all this was going on? Hiding out practically stood in the east stand, he Had only just come back on the pitch and he was hiding out for a breather, we don't need players like that at the minute we need people to roll there sleeves up and get stuck in

That's strange because I actually though in his second stint he was one of the better players on the pitch, made a few crucial tackles and a few decent breaks. Green was getting dominated, ran it in hard but was stopped dead and went backwards.

What we don't know is what the coaching staff tell them to do when they go on. I assume there is an exit set strategy and a kick off strategy etc Maybe Green is told to take an early one in then let the backs scoot a few to make quick yards..

Your right tilse was very good in his second stint bit like i said fans see what they want to and tilse is never going to be a crowd favourite no matter what he does

Bearing in mind we lost Greenwood early and allgood got binned for 10 minutes tilses stats read

23 tackles
5 marker tackles
3 missed tackles
9 carries for 62 meters

As opposed to greens

42 tackles
7 marker tackles
3 missed tackles
15 carries for 76 meters

And allgood had 10 minutes in the bin his stats where

38 tackles
5 marker tackles
2 missed tackles
9 carries for 81 meters

So going off them seems tilse was slacking on the tackles and carries front and although green seemed to not make to much yardage for his carries at least he had a bit of ago when we where down to 2 front rowers surely you would expect more from tilse?
