What a stupid thread. The gulf between the clubs is so enormous that a slight shift either way doesn't mean a damn thing. Maybe when you get in super league it might be worth discussing.

jesus your team is playing crap.
your club is losing money week in week out,
your fans are fewer.
the KC pitch is a disgrace and if you don't win games very soon you will be relegated.
you carry on mate thinking the same way because you're in for one massive shock very soon.
how is Plummer & Kath?
still in the money are they?
still bank rolling the club

Hull won't get relegated this year Dave. There is just about enough latent talent in the Hull FC players for them to avoid relegation playing on autopilot so i'm sure they won't be down there.

That being said I can't see Hull challenging for titles this year and I can see a very large change of playing staff for next season at the KC.

i dont think anyone expected we would...we are several players short of a SL title bid.

this years now going to be a transitional one..and im hoping the new coach clears out the deadwood and gets us in a great position for 2007. Id be happy just with a playoff spot for this year (only for the extra money to buy players with really)

Who would you class as deadwood in the Hull FC squad?

King becuase he hasnt improved for over a year, and his off the feild 'behaviour' is well discussed.

id also say that Lupton should go, becuase he isnt used...not a bad player..but a waste of 20/20 if we arnt going to play him

again Motu Tony is a good player, but if we are going to waste his career playing him in any position, theres no point him being here.

Higgins is young, but when asked to play SL hasnt impressed

Blacklocks retiring anyway

Carvell might want to leave aparantly, but personally id try and get him to stay.


Then with the rest it mainly depends on who we can bring in to replace them, theres several 'average' players that are ok, but if we could attract some top class id release. Our main priority has to be a top class half-back, and i would release several to make that happen. We also need a winger or two.

And your a fool.

Salford and Huddersfield have both been in our league in recent years and are both now and will probably finish above the krap at the KC at the end of this season

Cas have just been promoted and have the same number of points as you.

In which final did you beat Huddersfield in 1997 because the record books show they beat you in the Premiership final at the end of that season ???

Oh and you gave Leeds a game.
A team which played the 2nd half with no bench due to injuries.

Keep em coming it reminds me how stupid some of you are.

And what does that make you then? The fact is the balance of power has not shifted at all.For as bad as things have been over the last few weeks,it's still a far better situation that what's at Caravan Park. You still support an inferior rugby team in an inferior stadium. You're still in a league that most super league supporters don't take an interest in. They regard the team who comes up as 4 or 6pts a season.I only take a look at your results to see if you've lost.You're not in superleague end of! You've no guarantees of getting there this season, even though, this is probably the best team you've had for achieving it.

If franchising does come in as is expected before you've achieved promotion. you're definitely up the creek without a paddle. And the theory most likely, if franchising does come in and you have been promoted beforehand, is you will be discarded then.

The only superleague team in crisis at the moment is Wigan, who have serious problems.

The simple fact is you're still in the little leagues looking up enviously at the big boys. Jog on

I take it that's a long winded way of saying your guess.
