Yes Jake and it’s strange that both at one time played for us at the time we had bad coaching

I like Mulhern a lot and he's got great potential, but he's not at Taylor's level yet.

Also, we'll likely now have to read a response from Jake about how if Mulhern does approach that level, Hull will sign him. And maybe suffer being 'offered' Ross Osbourne as a makeweight.

I would be delighted if you took Hanbury off our hands After a few good seasons with us he has consistently been our worst player and has a terrible attitude! We call him TV Rhys here on the terraces here as he only shows up when he is on TV! His reported massive contract could be a lot better spent elsewhere for us, He also spends a lot of time on the injury table.

If he gets to Taylors level (Which is is way off yet, as Taylor has played consistently at a high level for the last 5 years plus, not half a season like Mulhern), then i'd expect him to follow Taylors lead and move to a club to compete for honours.

When I watched Taylor make his debut as 16 year old you knew he was going to be a great player it does pain me to see his performances for Hull but you felt he was always going to end up there Mulhearn on the the other hand has come on so much in the past couple of seasons I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in a England shirt in the future just hope he’s playing for us when he does

It seems to me that KR has become a feeder team to Hull FC. Lets be honest, if any player wants to play in Hull they want to play for the big team leaving KR with bit-part players and cast offs.

I think you need to be worrying about your own team

Agreeed, that was't a dig at Rovers, it's just sport, the best players will usually end up at the top clubs, as they have the money and players want to win things and play internationally (Connor is the perfect example), we have been on the other end of this losing players like Carvell, Radford and Briscoe in the past, there is always the odd exception, such as Hudds players like Brough, Mcgivalry and in the past Crabtree, but you do look back and wonder if they regret not moving onto a bigger club at some point.

To be fair to Hudds, from 2009–2015 they finished 5th, 5th, 4th, 7th, 1st, 3rd and 3rd. Far from dominant, but pretty competitive. While they only won the hubcap, they were competing for trophies and had players winning international honours.

I think we need to give some more obvious signs that we want to do more than just make up the numbers. Or if that is all we can realistically do, accept it and aim to do it more effectively, like Wakefield these last 3 years.
