How did they go in 2018, funny you don’t mention that year eh?



Anyway he’ll start running into referees soon

Fair play to hull kr. They were the better team and worthy winners. Hull need to find some consistency

Anthony Smith has shown once again what a wonderful coach he is. He has also shown that there is no substitute for a great Australian coach, as Justin Holbrook proves every week.

Should have done it one handed and not put the ball down

Hmmmmm guess Tim Sheens sorry Timothy Sheens mustn’t be Australian then.

For all it was immensely brave for Westerman to carry on after a serious looking knock he should have not been allowed to make the choice of remaining the fray. I thought at the time he couldn't use full strength to stop Parcels try? Will heave to look at it closer when watch it back. Crazily brave though.

To be honest Printer, I really cannot be arrised going over the same old arguments again and again, it’s blatantly obvious our management has cocked up the transition from 2015 onwards and that icnludes Mcdermott, Hetherington and yes Sinfield has made some mistakes since coming in but the major damage had been done and the club was a basket case which will take a fair few years to sort out.

And to be clear keeping Garbutt and now Parcell wouldn’t have made a blind bit of difference to how the team is going

Plus, Smith is a British citizen now

No it wasn’t a basket case, they just had been tight with money for obvious and needed reasons and were still going ok. We won the GF with this apparent awful squad and coach and were sitting top 4 after 10 Rounds in 2018. As we constantly see nowadays when teams have injuries hit hard you struggle and even then we were losing several 1 pointers.....what we have now since Sinfield came in is the real mess and he’s caused it

We didn’t need to rip up the squad we had (and certainly not get rid of 2 of its better players) we needed to steadily add quality to it over time with the big money that had suddenly appeared available since July 2018 (not force it in 12 months) and focus on getting the best out of our better players like Garbutt and Parcell not focus on getting them out of the club.

Sinfield is mostly the man responsible for our position, at least Hetherington flaw of not spending was done with good intentions and we needed to do the ground up.

And if you don’t think a 140m per game prop wouldn’t have helped us you’re really burying your head in the sand....I suppose we kept Singleton though and powder puff attack, brought in Dom Crosby who hasn’t played a single game and Wellington Albert too. Or a hooker who has shown he can score up to 19 tries a season when he has a good front row to work and has looked much better than Dwyer in his last several appearances when Sinfield would finally sub him on, instead we kept a headless chicken at 9.

It will be a Hull born coach swigging the Champagne and smoking the cigars at the end of the season, and it won't be Steven Mcmanara.

Fair play.. didn't see the win coming tbh. In a poor season a little joy was due

You just for what ever reason do not like Sinfield, this situation has been coming since the end of 2015 you mention the GF win in 2017 well we had at least one halfback with real class that season.

The reason we are in this situation is a culmination of things and not just Sinfields fault as you like to portray it.

Hull KR have that 140m prop don’t they and they've been below us in the table all year.

Justin Holbrooke was not born in Hull.

No they haven’t they started the season better than us and he was a key reason.

We had McGuire in 2017 but people’s memories are muddled because he was so good in the playoffs and the last 2 or so games of the regular season. Rest of the year he was average, bordering even on poor.

I don’t dislike Sinfield, I’m just not letting his playing career cloud my judgment like some Leeds fans are on how he’s performing in this role. If someone with ZERO Leeds connection came in last year in the exact same role I seriously doubt he’d be getting the slack many are still offering him.

The situation that had been coming since 2015 was that we were heading for a few years mid table not competing for silverware. Sinfield came in and has turned that into bottom of the table in 12 months.
