Paul Cooke. Has anyone seen him?

My sources tell me his party have just arrived in the Wetherspoons in Hull city centre.

Sorry thought it was a thread about away support

What are you sorry for? Humilitating yourself? Your teams abject performance this evening?

See another thread, there are a few ale houses in Hull not saying that! To think when his liver was in serious trouble last year this board would have it that Quins were going to take him as if Mc would take that .....

Home support after David Howell sauntered in

Ward, Haggerty, Robinson, Clubb, Dorn all missing from 17. Good result for the team.

A great effort without that lot available. I still want them fit asap as we are bound to get someone else injured soon. We need most of that lot back to keep in the top 8. Depth is everything in SL

For some reason we tend to play better when our backs are to the wall

Last year when Hill wasn't available I used to think we had no chance but we always pulled it out of the bag, and in fact some of our better games were played without him

Team spirit is excellent

Anyone else notice at half time the whole team waited for Orr to come across the pitch to walk off together.

Before the games at home when the team is warming up you will notice the forwrads dont come out to train straight away- I think Purdo keeps them in to get them going- then they come out together as a group

I think BM's policy is only to recruit players who will give 100% effort for the team regardless of their ability. There are a number of our lot who are good solid workmanlike players who do a good job who will never get any praise from other clubs supporters. (Hence the criticism of Mbu who is a firm favourite here).For a club running on tight budgets we are getting the best out of what we can afford, which is more than quite a few bigger clubs are doing. Cant ask for more than that.

maybe he is with cabman

He left with him at least ten minutes before the end of the game. Though he probably had to queue for the cab

It's more to do with the fact that teams split into forwards and backs for the start of warm ups these days. With kicking/catching being the first drill off the rank. They then get back together after this drill.

Is that the case there?
