thaler saw it as an attempted ball steal, you won the game, congratulations, better team on the day by a country mile.....notice how you have kept quiet on Charnleys hat trick try, which was from a clear forward pass!

One on one ball steal is legal, and Carlos was the last player to touch the ball before going forward.

I agree his 3rd try was slightly forward.

It's astonishing how rent free we live in their heads, I can only imagine how they felt after being relegated whilst watching us lift the Challenge Cup at Wembley, and then following it up with another whilst they were playing Rochdale away, it must of been soul destroying. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside every time I think about it.

I often think about it. I absolutely love seeing how far forward we’ve came since then, and how far backwards you’ve gone since then. Lol.

Its seven years ago
I think we should also move on and stop living in the past.It may be only Wakefield that stop us being relegated this season and with poor home gates to follow after the Derby money in the club will also be very tight.
We just have to hope that Smith is still around for next season and is able to make the impact signings we need both from overseas and in the UK
We have to add speed in the backs and we should start by looking at RU players but the major upgrade needed is the front and second row forwards where size and mobility is necessary.
I just hope Pearson and Clark kick out the sentiment when discussing new contracts but i have a bad feeling the likes of Taylor and Griffin have already been offered extensions

To be fair, I would give them both a year extension (at this stage), on reduced terms. We cannot replace 13/14 players in 1 go, and out of the rest that are out of contract, the 2 above I would keep if we had to for an extra year. Evans, Joey, Sao need to, as well as Shaul, Houghton etc. That gives us quota spots, and more importantly, some good cap space

Understand where you are coming from but from what you hear Taylor and Griffin are disruptive in the club and think they are more important than others.
Taylor is finished now as a top S/L player and Griffin is a poor mans second row and lazy so for me they both need to go but as i said i have a bad feeling they will be given an extension.
Evans,lovodua,Houghton and Shaul i agree with.Sao for me has received another offer and will depart which could be why Satae seems to be half the player he was as he is now unsettled.
Clark needs to vacate that chair and get back to commentating on Hull FC live which he is actually good at.

People claim this but without giving any proof. No more than tittle tattle.

Course you can replace 13 players and we should cause majority aren't good enough

We need to start looking for gems in the championship plenty of class players in their with a mix of 3 or 4 nrl signings

I would get rid of Sao lovodua and Evans so 3 quota spots freed up and alot of salary cap just them 3 for starters
