| How the (once) mighty have fallen!
Hull fans from only a few years ago would have laughed if it had been suggested that one day they would be one of the worst teams ever in Super League. - as Leigh fans we can be very good judges of that award! Today they were not just bad, they were shocking.
They would have also laughed if it had been suggested that the whole basis of their grounds for optimism for next season - we are not even half way through this one yet - was the appointment of Richie Myler as Head of Rugby and the signing of a whole raft of 30 plus something players from Leigh - yes, Leigh!
Hull fans need to step back and see what is actually in front of them with a good dose of realism. This is not optimism. This is desperation. If, for them, this year is already a write-off then good luck for next season. For some of us here there is still loads to play for in this one.

Myler's mania is a little bewildering. HFC could soon be facing more financial misconduct charges than Manchester Arabia!
Serious question (or two)
A little research on the subject revealed that the normal punishment for a breach is 2 points. Unfortunately they are unlikely to breach this year, with no real possibility of them achieving nil points in the season (can still dream).

| Bongser defers to both your ken and research, Sep, but recalls Marwan buying a flashy car for one of his (then) Salford players. Found to be in breach of cap, Salford were given a dock of six points - suspended until a time of the RFL's choosing!! They hated Marwan - and later adopted his idea (pooh-poohed at the time) of allowing Marquee Players!

| I’ve heard Asiata has looked into backing out of his Hull deal, whether it goes any further or not remains to be seen. Unhappy with the way Hull have handled things and a change of heart with Lam signing a long term deal with Leigh.

| Asiata is truly top class but he hasn't played regularly since the cup final last year. I think its time for him to move on.
Trout is learning quickly about go forward and ruck speed and i think will become a monster next season. We will miss his ball playing skills but they are replaceable. I think i would rather have the cap space and quota spot at this time.
Asiata has been immense and i will never forget his contribution to the semi final against St Helens but it just feels like time.
