SHIFT IN POWER : Mon Mar 27, 2006 7:03 am  

I can see a massive shift in power very soon.
with Hull fc gates getting smaller HKRs getting bigger
a new super stadium going to happen in east hull.
Rovers on the up
Hull fc going further down the league 7th at the moment.
And with the financial situation Hull in the red (figures to be released soon)
Rovers with money to spend.
The whole squad at rovers playing as a team and enjoying there rugby
Hull fc with in fighting john kerr to be sacked sooner rather than later
players not wanting to play.
things certainly look more rosy at craven park.
who knows hull may get relegated this season and rovers may go up.
Hull fc playing with no heart or passion getting stuffed at home.
Rovers playing with flair and pride.
Rovers having one of the very best playing surfaces in rugby league.
Hull fc having a shared cabbage patch to play on.
I rest my case

Hull wont get relegated this year.

The whole balance of power thing seems to come in cycles, over the last few years Rovers have been at the bottom of the cycle and Hull at the top. It's possible Hull may be on the start of a decline and Rovers on the up, but it won't happen that quick, it will be over a few years

A very sensible reply. We all know the power shifts every few years hull on top rovers on top. Nothing is set in stone look at Wigan.

Wishfull thinking dave,a few wins under our belt and an indifferent start to your league campaign and it swings back the other way.While we're in super league and your in NL1 there's only going to be one winner.

Well that Winner seems to be us at the moment despite your S.L status.

Christ if it wasn't for David Solomona getting injured you'd have another defeat under you belt so thank the stars things are a little bit different. Incidentally where do you think these wins for Hull will come from? Certainly not the next two games

Get to Craven Park and see some of the rugby thats been played.

Which part of it wasn't true? And before you make a snide remark and say "All of it",(Said in a childish voice) Be constructive.

I rest my case

for starters, were are our crowds "getting smaller" our gate against Wakefield was a 1,000 up, against London was a 100 up, Saints 600 up (with a few hundred less away fans)

we are expected to be announcing a significant profit, wait for the figures

the pitch isnt our fault, we dont maintain it

I agree with the pride and passion part...but dont get carried away, so far youve played awful sides like Sheffield (who we got our record score against the other year), fetherstone and york acorn.

We are in a lull no-one can deny that, but its early days, who knows we might be having similar threads on your board if you loose to Widnes, Leigh, Whitehaven etc...its a long season ahead.
