Now Hull KR V. Widnes is being televised on Sep.9, looking forward to a 5 figure crowd for the Wire v.Leyth season decider and a much closer game than last time especially with Mortimer, Drinkwater, Langi, Brown and Paterson in such outstanding form!!!!

That's all I want from my team. 100% effort. Fax got that and we're the moral victors.

I always thought Rhys Evans gave 100% effort, are you sure that is all you want? Do skill and flair play no part in it? If so I've missed out on brilliant rugby career because I never lacked effort...skill, pace, flair, ball handling, kicking ability however were in very short supply.

I think what Mile G was aaying, if I can be so bold, is that we expext everyone to put evey effort in to harness whatever god given talent they have.

Jonathan Davies, Ellery Hanley, Shaun Edwards, Jason Robinson etc. All supremely gifted playera who also worked bl**dy hard to achieve what they did both by effort on the field and attitude off it.

Compare to, off the top of my head, Chris Sandow, Richard Henare, Jon Roper etc. Those players had huge ability but lacked the work ethic and attitude to embrace and enhance it.

Then we have the likes of Cullen, who were never going to be world beaters but kept better players out of the team by virtue of their effort, desire and honesty and the wires faithful loved them for it.

John Thursfield always gave 100%.

Roy about 20%

1% per game?

I don't believe you.

So, for you, we could put 17 of the Under 19s out every game, play banal 1 up rugby, get smashed every week, get relegated, but so long as they gave 100% you'd be happy ? Happy with the way the club was run ? Happy paying your £20 admission? Happy with a lack of recruitment ? and Happy with the coaching ?

Really ?!?!

If that was our only option then yes, I'd clap them off. You're not applying context to the statement. The context being that we are a team who buy players unlike most teams, a team that states they want to be a regular top 4 team and a team that pay top wages. It's the players that are involved in the latter part of this that aren't giving 100% and are being rightly scrutinized.

I don't care if you believe me or not. There are 10 average or worst than that teams in SL this season.
If one of those 10 had given 100% throughout the squad throughout the season, they'd be 3rd at least. That could have been us and we'd all be much happier than we are now!
