| Quote: Dave K. "His 2nd season (2015) wasn't that bad, had a lot of injuries and played a lot of young kids in the 8's and put in some good performances, showed signs for things to come and kicked on from there in 2016
Another good season positives for me
Super 8's performance
Winning the cup
Young players coming through and looking the part
Our attacking play, improved on 2016.
Coping with big game players missing, particularly Ellis and Houghton
Two big areas of improvement
Home form
Stop blow away scores.
Solid recruitment for 2018, looking forward to it again.'"
Agree on the areas of improvement, we need to make the KCOM a fortress again. Also need to grow crowds as we seem to have hit a plateau of 10k and it's not obvious why more aren't turning out (maybe worth the club spending some money on market research) getting another 1 or 2k in would really help the atmosphere.
Blow out scores are a bit of a mystery as you can put some down to under estimating the opposition like Leigh at home. But we also didnt turn up for big games like Saints at the Magic Weekend. We need to find a level where we get the win but not go all out and be tired for the week after. It still feels a bit 'all or nothing' with the performances most of the time.

| Quote: Mrs Barista "The problem as such is that if you sack off the cup, which is a more realistic target requiring 4 wins, you put all your eggs in a basket months away. You could deliberately put less into the cup and have loads of injuries in September scuppering either chance of silverware. It's probably been exacerbated for Hull in that last year our cup run was all the other 4 of the top 5 and this year included Cas, Wigan and Leeds so highly draining (in fact, apparently, we've only faced non top tier opposition twice in 6 years in the cup), but the principle remains.'"
I don't agree, having to win 4 games without slip up, no second chances is harder than getting through to the play-offs and having to win only 2 games.. You can afford to lose, you can have injuries through the season or go off the boil and still make the play-offs, we proved that this season, we've being gash in parts, we lost TWELVE games out of 30 and still made the play-offs. It's then only a 2 game knockout comp. We played the top teams both last season and this to win the CC so it's no different to playing the 2 games in the play-offs to win the GF except you have to beat potentially 4 top SL teams to win the CC. IMHO winning the CC is harder if you get a really difficult draw than winning 2 games at the end of the play-offs.

To win the Grand Final you need to win at least 18 games.

Pray tell, what part of the AUP does Mrs B break when she is negative during a game?

You yourself and others admitted that she posted the same thing to bait posters and to elicit comment, that's the definition of trolling.
HTH

Not at all. If you, and only you, wishes to take umbrage at Mrs B's negative posts during the game, then that is your issue. No one else does because they see them for exactly what they are and that's a defence mechanism when stressed. You have been told this many times yet still insist on making something out of it every blooming week. That is not against the AUP. Some of the abuse you receive because if it is and I try to deal with that, but in the same way I have told my kids when bickering, if you don't like something, ignore it. You're an adult, act like it.
