As a Bulls supporter, I now tend to expect disappointments rather than a happy ending!

I'm beginning to look forwards to the end of next season

I've seen nothing that leads me to believe next season will be any different to this season! Same Coaches and mostly same players and same type of players. I'm expecting lots of disappointing walks away from Odsal and mostly the same excuses being rolled out!

"We're Doomed!!!"

Interview with Lynch in the Hull Daily Mail tomorrow apparently.

Is there anything else we already knew that you wanted to share with us?

Yep. Lynch definetly a Hull FC player in 2012.

Well someone will have to pull their fingers out next season to replace Lynch's workload. With our best winger leaving i am really fearing for nexy year. Ainscoughs' great, but is very much a confidence player. I really think we will struggle next year. Are things that bad at the club

Like several others, feeling a bit dejected tonight

Fair play to Lynch, and I wish him well, but I really don't know where it leaves our club. We desperately need a quality replacement - something that will give us a 'feel good factor'

And Raynor leaving is just another piece of bad news. At times this season he seemed to be the only one playing with a genuine pride in the shirt

Very worried about next season at the moment.

I can't conceive that Raynor is anything other than the court case, surely? Maybe the club was unaware that there could still be serious consequences? As we were till we read about it in the paper? Nothing else makes any sense!

Well the fans have stood up to be counted again, 10,000+ pledges. It's again up to the Club, Coaching Staff and Playing Staff. Good will only goes so far, lame excuses won't wash next season. We don't want to hear the "We know what we did wrong and will put it right in training". They have a full off season to learn how to play this simple game of Rugby!

2013 will be our year!

so our most consistant, reliable forward and captain is off, to be followed by our most consistant, reliable outside back....excellent. The club need to announce some good replacements but I won't hold my breath.

On a side note whilst I was looking at Raynors stats I noticed something about our top try scorers from this year, only 1 player in double figures and 3 of the top 6 are off;

Royston - 10
Lynch - 9
Elima - 9
Ah Van - 9
Kearney - 7
Ainscough - 7

so we're losing 3 of our top try scorers, our captain, our best forward, top try assit man (Herbert) and our goal kicker.

I really want to be positive for next year but I'm struggling atm, hopefully there will be some positive news soon.

All the best to Andy and Gareth, thanks for the efforts and good luck.

What he said.
