Hudgell giving the rallying call in HDM...

O/T Just been on the HDM Hull Live site, and it seems to have been given a 100% click bait makeover.

The lead news story is about a ‘touching’ message from Tommy Robinson, from prison to his wife. I’ll be very generous and say its tone is oddly soft focus.

I know local journalism is in crisis, but even so.

The HDM's coverage of sport is just dreadful. Used to think it was 'ok' for city. Obviously don't read about Hull. But Westmorland's coverage of Rovers is truly awful. He was unbearable on commentary last week too...

Leeds really, really should beat Toronto.

I heard a rumour that if two teams get relegated they have to split the parachute payment. With only a single promotion spot next year and that nugget of info, do you really think Widnes want us down in the Championship when Toulouse is already going to be there with either London or Toronto and lose out on 250k?

All interesting and pure speculation of course.

First match of the four finished. Salford effectively up. Barring very strange results expect Leeds to go up as well. Expect London in the MPG against either us or TWP.
Will know on Sunday exactly what is required to get the last automatic spot, which is bonkers. We have just got to go all out to win by whatever is necessary.
As others have said, stupid system,hate it, hate it, hate it. Should not have to be fighting for the right to stay up when you finish 10th. Just want it over, and no MPG.
Haven,t heard anything, just what,s on here,but if right about Shaun Lunt, hope he recovers quickly, and yes, it does put things into perspective.

It was on HullKRfans. It has been removed to be respectful, and it’s probably sensible we follow the same line. The new post says the club will make announcement in due course.
