Did it knackers, big yourselves up all you like but you were no way the best team in the league over the last two years for any time other than than for a few weeks at a time.
We're generally rubbish, but Hull have never displayed the mental fortitude to win a play off season.
We were the best team in the comp in 2016 up until wembley after which we won only 1 of 4 league games and lost away at wigan in the play offs. We fell off a cliff after wembley and it undoubtedly cost us a GF spot and likely a win. Last year we were bang average for most of the year but were only beaten by the eventual comp winners by virtue of a missed conversion.
In both years we showed we could beat every other decent side in the competition in knock out rugby but the CC wins in both years meant we didn't have enough left in the tank for the league. I don't expect a rovers fan to agree but we were head and shoulder the best side in SL in 2016 and good enough to win it in 2017
