It was not "brainless " or " moronic " -open your eyes - it was stating the bloody obvious . Our coach is both !!!!

Come on christopher et al who scoffed at criticism of smith and the signing of frawley. Give us your honest assessment of this?

Christopher is hidden away with Lord Lucan telling him everything is not as bad as it seems down at Headingley and that the likes of Frawley will ultimately come good.
You can look at a league table and guess at just how bad Hull are, but then you watch them for a full 80 mins and realise just what a hole they are in. Unfortunately, we are deep down in that same hole and we ain’t getting out this season. Hull are very fortunate that licensing has saved them from possible relegation, though it’s left them with absolutely nothing to play for and a boring season for the supporters. I really don’t see where the RFL are going with this current grading system, it’s a surefire way of killing the game.

The problems are a lot more fundamental than one player's form. Frawley is down on confidence as is everyone else. The basic problems are a complete lack of platform from the forwards, rubbish defence and lack of structure to our play. These issues are interlinked as well, as it seems - just like last year - that literally nobody has a clue what we're trying to do in half our sets. Just as last year confidence is ebbing out of the team every week. As soon as the magic plays dry up we look an awful rugby team. I can't go past the coach on that one.

I thought Frawley was a poor signing, but the rest of the spine seem to be collectively clueless for the most part. They look as though they've barely met each other, let alone had an off season and now ten games together. Again, not sure how you can look past the coach on that score? I do wonder how long it will be before the players force GH's hand. If they decide they've had enough - despite the fact they need to have a hard look at themselves - it will be completely untenable for Smith.

We really should have been hammering that Hull side, my mates a Hull fan and he said that was one of their better performances of the season, but we werent good enough at all, completion rate was shocking.

Great debut from Lumb, a great finish for his first try, even though it was some questionable defence. He looked solid under the high ball and made a great break down the wing in the second half, showing much more promise than Roberts.

Bang on. Yes they've paid their money and are entitled to their opinion, like all of us, but there is a time, place and medium. We all grumble when at the game, but that today was utterly without class and ultimately counter productive for reasons very well articulated in an earlier post. Moronic behaviour from a brainless mob seemingly more interested in the beer than the team.

Its like the booing of Nene and Hurrell everytime they touched the ball during the home games earlier in the season, really embarrassing behaviour.

Re: RD 9 | Hull FC (A) : Mon Apr 29, 2024 8:53 am  

Frawley pushing Edgell off a Kick off catch and then screaming at him for dropping it was quite honestly disgusting behaviour. Get him out of the door with Rohan.

It sounds bizarre saying this as a Hull fan, but I would be more worried if I were a Leeds fan about current form.

Your spine yesterday was Miller, Croft, Frawley, Ackers and Cam Smith
Our spine yesterday was Walker/Moy, Charles, Morgan Smith, Houghton and Cator.

There is a huge cap difference in those spines, and you looked so disjointed at times. There are multiple reasons for where we are at the moment, players out of position, no coach, no fitness, young kids playing, but I would be expecting far more from that spine of players than what you are currently getting.

The atmosphere, especially at away games, is getting very soccer-esque.
