Campese is more Knackered than Leuluai. Has to be favourite with our record of signing crocks

Doing right by the club..have you heard yourself :roll: that's his job, that's what he's being paid for, whilst I'm sure MT wants to do the best he can describing it as 'doing right by the club' is insanely obsequious, god you really are so subservient to Radford et al :KISS:
No pats on the back until we actually do something good, at the moment we are also rans and people are being paid good money to do their jobs..you're the worst type of fan tbh..Accepting mediocrity & giving praise for people doing their jobs averagely or even worse..very badly..your nose is so far up it..I bet you were an Agar lover as well.. :DRUNK:

Been saying this for years about us as a club. Mediocrity is so ingrained in our club culture from the staff to the fans. Whilst the majority of our fanbase continue to accept the mediocre performances, players and staff recruitment, nothing will change.

I'm sure AP didn't want to settle for mediocrity when he first bought the club, but seems too that he has started on the slippery slope.

You can be a passionate fan, in any kind of weather, but still want more for the good of the club and its future. Its those that sit and clap crap and swallow the drivel the club dish out that are really holding us back.

How is this changed, I'm not too sure, maybe its just Hull as a city....... :?

It's not about been up any ones booty all I'm saying is motu is doing his best to recruit the right players in the positions needed, I know he's getting paid for his role at the club, so stop been clever, I have always respected coaches & players that put a shirt on for our club, I have never thought they have wanted to fail on purpose, I just think we have never had the quality, but that's not entirely there fault is it there just doing a job wether there players or coaching staff, so stop with the booty kissing comments, I have posted before that if raiders does fail our club he should go.

Wigan and Leeds have 4 times the number of back room staff that we do, because they are far richer. Recognition that it's not a level playing field is important and if realistic expectations off the back of it result, that's hardly something to get angry about.

If fans choose to exacerbate the situation further by withdrawing their support, that's their prerogative, but gives them a weak basis for outrage as they're dismantling our already low chances of competing with the boys at the top of the tree. How do you suggest bridging the gap?

IMO - If AP changed his policy about, signing one proven player,to attract better season pass sales
then ,divert those funds, to better staff, we'd get better performances on the field, then attendances
would surely increase.

amateur preparation = amateur performance.
