We don't deserve to be asked, nor winning our last two games do we deserve to finish in the top 8. At the moment (CC excluded) we are the worst team in SL by far. No effort, energy idea or skill. Best thing we could do now is to clear out a number of the current first team and let some of the reserves have a run out.

For what is worth watch the highlights on the Superleague show - one bloody poor set of individuals outclassed.

Jesus wept......I just did Were we told it was tag rugby? Tackling is 1 of the basic skills needed to play RL, as is hanging on to the ball.....glad we only got 2 minutes of action to watch....terrible.
How Brian Mac can come out with his comment about it being "one of the bravest things he had seen keeping them to 4 second half points" is beyond me.
WTF......this is Hull FC. They are at the tail end of another bad season and from what I have seen on the SL Show highlights, we just stood there and let them run through us.

IIRC,one of the franchise points is achevements on the playing field,ie not allways finishing in the bottom part of the table,and QUALIFYING FOR THE PLAY-OFFS.
If thats so,and we do survive the next couple of years( as i feel the club is in terminall decline,please God im wrong) thenregular play off football is vital for a future franchise application.
If we do or dont deserve it is another matter.

I wrote about this a little while back. If the rfl use the same criteria as the last round of applications we must finish 6th or better next season to get this point.

2008 - 9th
2009 - 9th (?)
2010 - 6th
2011 - Franchise applications in before final positions known

(9+9+6) / 3 = 8

Top 8 or higher average needed over three seasons.

Yes, so we can all say it is his fault not Brian McDermott's.

Honestly, PMSL
