did to me too, and I dread to think what we will get on Sunday...what could have been a top4 clash just a few weeks ago now looks like a walkover for Hudds.

Like you lot at ms3 craven park.

It looks like our run of defeats is helping the dobbins fans take their minds off the dismantling of their team...

Thanks, it's very much appreciated. Maybe you should dismantle yours, saying that you'd have to play as a team first not an over hyped bunch of individuals

On the bright side, last night made our performance against Cas look half decent.

He who laughs last .......you know how the rest goes

I'll start worrying when we have a club record defeat to contend with.
Thing is, most hull fans know how poor we've been so your gloating is misplaced.
Long term, id rather support a club that is investing heavily on youth structures and facilities, and adding to the squad rather than annually lose their best players.

10,400 on the Sky caption. Not surprising at all - poor form, tv game and another game in six days time would all contribute.

I don't think Johnson was better than Lynch and IMO Lynch seems to copping at least some flak for other players failings. Sure he dropped the ball when he shouldn't have done (although I really wish he'd have been at the tap restart near the end and not McDonnell as I'd have fancied him to have taken that pass) and it was poor handling although some credit to the tackler is due. He should have retained possession but I found it refreshing to see a rare line break from a Hull prop in the first place. You're right in your assessment that he is carrying some workload from others and as a result I'd be more than surprised if his stats were not way ahead of any other Hull prop last night. Johnson is one brave player whose effort cannot be questioned but frankly isn't top level - not big enough to break through the line and is regularly mullered in contact if his initial footwork isn't effective. If only we could put Johnson's heart into Watts' body as Watts for me is incapable of concentrating for more than a set and his pathetic positioning and defence in the middle for their break late on was nowhere near SL standard. Watts' failings are far more to do with a lack of intensity and desire than the bit of weight he's lost and that can be said for a couple of others in the past three or four weeks.

Really, one defeat would worry you more than a run of average half d performances, strange. I'd take one club record defeat followed by learning from it, improving and kicking on seems that concept is alien to your coach. still theres always next year.

If by losing our best players annually you mean someone who thought he was worth more than he is like Mcdonnell, someone who'd rather be in the pub like Watts and a player who should have retired like Galea then keep investing. Bottom line is how long before the likes of Crooks and Lineham realise they are too good to be wallowing in a mid table club and sign for a big club.
