Classic Keefy. Come on here to, as usual, have a sly dig and when home truths are fired back at you, it’s all out warfare on AP, JC and the whole of FC, oh and deluded fans. I’ve been an acquaintance with quite a few Rovers “fans” over the years. What starts out as a reasonable discussion about rugby, inevitably, turns into a derisory comment on FC. I just don’t understand the evenhanded chip you have on both shoulders. One in particular noticed my FC tattoo on my leg and said he’d supported Warrington at Wembley, when I asked him if he went to matches, he gave the usual reply “no”. Our conversation and relationship ended immediately.

Keep it coming.

At the end of the day both Hull clubs have failed in terms of SL success and the sport, the City and both clubs themselves need both clubs to be doing better.

Really not sure what the answers are but unless the players are cut from the squad that are causing issue it allows the rot to continue and infect the others and means we are stuck in perpetual turmoil.

Taylor, Houghton, Griffin, Gale for me should not be at the club next season moving forward which would mean paying off Taylor and Griffin, then not renewing any deals with Houghton and Gale. Jury is still out on Lane who really needs to up his game too as he's just not been at it this season but would give him the benefit of doubt next season with the removal of the 4 mentioned.

If the club give Houghton another year then AP, JC and BH need to give their heads a wobble as that is just rewarding systemic failure and again leaving the rot to continue to fester.

I have to agree. It's time for a change. He may even call it a day himself.

Lovodua to start if he's here, Dwyer bench and Balmforth next in line.

Anyway, back on topic.
Hopefully Dwyer to be announced this week and an overseas back rower rumoured to be close to being announced too.

Apparently not. Perhaps you could start a topic to kick things off?

I and I'd guess other Hull fans would like to contribute to any the discussion in the absence of your fellow Robins.

What about this topic. "Why haven't we kicked on this year?"

After 80 minutes from the grand final and fans and experts predicting going a step further why have we gone backwards?
