The game on Thursday was the final straw for me a play off quater final and you get a scoreline like that is beyond a joke i really felt for the hull fc fans they get behind their team in good numbers but then having to go over to hudd and watch that is unacceptable for me they should give the fans who went a full refund.'"
The fault lies solely at Hull FC players door. Hull's previous two games against Hudds had them losing by a margin of 14 points and 6 points. Totally feasible then that if Hull had shown up they could have beaten Hudds.

It's also about having money and generating revenue. Historically clubs have been spending their money on short termism. The licence system was suppose to encourage clubs to build strong foundations. Since licencing has come in Saints and Salford have built new grounds, which will generate revenue for decades to come, without having to compromise to landlords/other tenants. Warrington have managed to become so successful as they had the money to buy great players of other teams - something helped by increasing their income generation through their own stadium
Quote: king warrior "Salford have chucked money at old players who are past it cause the Dr thinks he's going bring silverware next season they will be lucky to make the play offs next season it doesn't work.'"
Salford have had to sell off all their good players to stay alive last season. They are now in a period of rebuilding, and to do that you need a mix of experience and youth. Salford seem to be getting this right, and to say some of them are past it is just looking at their age, not their ability.
Quote: king warrior "Now it's come to aussie clubs chucking money at our good young lads and we can't compete cause our game is not developing why don't clubs not just say right lets have a season or 2 bringing young lads through and work on their youth? Results will not be pretty but it will pay off in the long run these lads care they will give 100% week in week out '"
We can't compete because we are not the Nr.1 or 2 sport in the UK and haven't signed a $1bn tv contract. Who's fault is that? The RFL can only do so much, like stage a World Cup, and hope the fans get behind it - this is the only way the game will grow in the UK. I assume you are going to a few games for the world cup and doing your bit?
Quote: king warrior "On a final note we can't even get a sponsor for the world cup says it all really, i know this post is a bit all over the show but just wanted to get a few points across'"
We have lots of sponsors for the World Cup. If you are talking about a title sponsor, we should go for the same ones as the RUWC, Football WC or Olympics - remind who the title sponsors of those were?
