Oh yes, and we won. And despite the doom and gloom, we're only 4 points off the league leaders, with a game against London to come. That's not latter day Furner or Agar territory yet. Things may well get worse but they could get better as well...

Can you get those optimism tablets on the NHS . The game against London could provide some useful game time for a couple of younger lads, and because it’s a bye we automatically get the 2 points. Thankfully, because of the ridiculous fixture system we also get another bye against them at Headingley in one of our “extra games” later on this season as well as another “extra game” against Hull in early July. The RFL must feel guilty for all the unnecessary punishment they’ve doled out to us in recent seasons. I hope you haven’t been listening to too many of JJB’s obscure biblical references or motivational sound bites, that may be the reason for your unduly optimistic outlook. Unless Matt Frawley is suddenly deported for a breach of visa regulations I don’t see anything improving anytime soon.

This was an away game so season tickets irrelevant.

And no, you don’t have a right just to vent your spleen if it is intimidating and toxic to the kids and families, family members of players included. What about my right to go to a game with my hard/earned cash and precious time without having to listen to drivel from a load of vexed up yobs with no class or self control?

I didn’t love the performance either but a section in that Leeds crowd made it ten times worse to attend.

So as long as you are not disturbed it OK - all fans must behave in a way you deem appropriate - your hard earned is more valuable than anyone else's!!

So Miller can't reach the 10 metre with a drop out but everyone must remain silent in case his family is present - wow!!

smiths brain? he killed virtually every move. Time and again a simple pass would have seen us have the numbers but he ran it and took the tackle

How many times does he get caught ball in hand - its embarrassing. It is almost as if the opponents are thinking much quicker than he is.

Well said Jim. All of those things and totally counter productive. Why would anyone come to play for or coach a club with a toxic mob ready to hurl abuse at them.

There is a very easy fix - play to a standard that you are capable. There isn't one Leeds player who is playing anywhere near their capabilities.

Very easy fix, just play better, wonder why the players hadnt thought of that

If you want to debate at least make a coherent argument.

If you think it’s acceptable to hurl abuse at our own players and coach, then we’re not really on the same side are we?

See how far that aggressive bullying approach gets you in relationships and life. I’ll wait.

Fans are entitled to voice their discontent.

Aggressive bullying, do me a favour.

Re: RD 9 | Hull FC (A) : Tue Apr 30, 2024 3:05 pm  

I don't know if it's aggressive bullying but anyone who joined in is giving a pretty clear indication that they're a moron with limited social skills. Who would want to hang out or work with people like that?

Re: RD 9 | Hull FC (A) : Tue Apr 30, 2024 3:38 pm  

An under strength Rhinos team beat a struggling Hull. Better than losing the game. Leeds did just enough. It was lack of Hull attacking prowess and good defending that played the largest part of the victory.
It may just be my RL ignorance but I don’t get why Leeds cannot improve their kicking - it is surely harder to kick the ball exactly into the hands of an opponent than direct to an open area. So, why do Leeds keep kicking the ball to an opponent - often with little/no kick chase ?

I never said that - what I suggested was there needs to be an outlet whereby substandard performances are recognised and fans have a platform to express opinions both positive and negative. Must of us learn more from constructive criticism than we ever do from a pat on the back. Of course you being a perfect individual have never called out a referee or an opposition player - be careful your glass house might just get pelted!!
