What "help" is that then BB? What are you getting at here?

Injuries clearly played a part in the margin of the scoreline
I think Hargreaves played 80 minutes - I don't remember him taking a breather anyway. And he was clearly knackered well before the end. As it turned out, dropping Burgess to the U20s backfired, but hindsight is wonderful

L'Estrange looked to pull his hamstring and never returned. Langley and Pryce definitely picked up injuries. Not sure about Chev, I may have lost interest a little by that point. I guess they were all small factors that probably contributed towards the blowout score line. We were still clearly outplayed for nearly the entire match though.

| Agree with the title of the thread, but saying you're glad to see the back of some of them and that they're not fit to wear the shirt is absolutely pathetic.
Those blokes have give their all this season, played their hearts out for us, even when it looked like they might not get paid or might not even have a job soon. That doesn't mean they can't be criticised - they were dire tonight, but there may be a few reasons behind that? Don't think it's just me who's been wondering if/when the emotion/stress etc would catch up with us.
For me, every one of them still deserves to wear the RAB, you don't deserve to support them though.

| If I were to explain it i'd say that the huge build up - with the film beforehand and then the players running out with their own kids etc might have played a part - they started off like a storm and if that'd been left to develop it might have been completely different. The sin-binning and the couple of tries Hull got back immediately plus another just on Jefferies return meant we started playing as individuals and panicking, probably partly because of the huge expectation they were carrying on their shoulders. Mistakes built upon mistakes and Hull were on their game and Shrek and Lynch were superb in making metres and off loading. Logically the best team won, but I'd love to have seen the game without the sin-binning.
Remember Eddie's only happy when he's moaning. This lot of players have made me proud to be a Bulls fan on lots of occasions this year, and I knew someday that our 71-0 defeat of Hull post CC win would eventually be given us back, what goes around etc, love the fact they can't get KR out of their minds even when thrashing us though, and of course their fans are largely great fun and good humoured tonight for obvious reasons!
Well done Hull, COYB playoffs still there to be claimed, just need Widnes and Wigan to do us a favour.

| Don't you just love those who seemingly delight in wading in after the battle to bayonet the wounded?

| The performance was inept and quite frankly awful and disgusting to watch.
However, with the few months we have had i am still in the mindset of being happy to be even able to watch a team who is around to be battered.
That team was a shadow of the lads from the past few outings.
Diskin's worst ever game imo. And i would put money on it that Pryce could come back on to play if he wanted to but saw the scoreline and let it be.

| I must admit I was a little uncomfortable with the short interview with Potter before the match. In reality it probably had no bearing on the perfromance but the big build up seem to be neglecting the fact that we had a very important game to get through.

| Just one of those days, you even started the 2 nd half quite well, moving the ball wide, then a quick try and a dodgy bounce from a good kick and game over, from then on pretty much anything that could go wrong for you did , and everything Hull tried came off
RL is a cruel game, it isnt unusual once a game has ' gone ' , for teams to rack up big scores without reply, the Bulls have inflicted similar defeats many times in the past

| The season at home ended as it started with a heavy defeat. They did the opposite of what they normally do by getting off to a good start. It all went wrong from the sinbining. As poor as we were we have to give Hull credit, they were red hot. As anarkik said, o'meley and Lynch were rampant.

| It looked to me as though Pryce bottled it, he gets a bang in the ribs and that's him done. I've seen him do this a few times in his career, he's a bit of a baby really, especially when you take his build into consideration.
Big guy, small appetite for the game.
