Just wondering if I could count on your help? Basically I'm a 3rd year student studying Sports Journalism and need help with my final project. I'm producing a super league preview magazine and am hoping to use Q and As with fans from each club as part of it. Most on my course are doing generic sports such as football so I'm hoping I can use mine as something a little bit different, using my passion of Rugby League. I was just wondering if any of you could help answer the following questions: Name: 1 - How did you rate your side's 2009 performance? 2 - Who are the key players for you? 3 - Young star to watch? 4 - Player you would most like to get rid of? 5 - What's the general opinion of Richard Agar? 6 - Which game are you most looking forward to this year? 7 - Who is your most hated opposition player and why? 8 - Have you been happy with your transfer activity for 2010? 9 - Does Hull KR's higher finish last season make 2010 that bit more interesting? 10 - Season prediction? eg where will you finish and how do you think you will perform? Much appreciated guys. If you want to e-mail me for any queries or even if you want to answer via e-mail, don't hesitate to contact me at gfarrimond@uclan.ac.uk Thank you very much and a happy new year!

1. Below 'below average'
2. Craig Fitzgibbon, Sean Long, Shaun Berrigan
3. Reece Lyne or Jack Briscoe
4. Lee Radford
5. Needs to be given a fair chance by the fans
6. Saints away - beginning of a new era
7. Need you ask? Paul C***e
8. Very happy. Moa signed up, Fitzgibbon, O'Meley, Long and Turner brought in, plus Tansey and Lauaki at the back end of 2009 - you'd struggle to find a better set of additions to any Super League squad.
9. Hull FC are only concerned with Hull FC - we want to beat every team and no one game or team is more important than any other.
10. Top 4 is where we want to be and need to be.


Good luck with the degree!

Name
2 - Who are the key players for you?
Sean Long, Shaun Berrigan.
3 - Young star to watch?
For me it's Craig Hall; he needs to be more consistent, we know what Briscoe can do.
4 - Player you would most like to get rid of?
I don't like the descriptive, “get rid of” But I would like to see Radford get less starts (especially at loose forward)
5 - What's the general opinion of Richard Agar?
Well meaning, willing but wanting.
6 - Which game are you most looking forward to this year?
The Derby at KC, I think/hope it'll be more competitive, plus the atmosphere's always brilliant.
7 - Who is your most hated opposition player and why?
Kickayne-self explanatory
8 - Have you been happy with your transfer activity for 2010?
On the whole, Yes. I would've (like most fans) liked to have seen a back up scrum half in the squad.
9 - Does Hull KR's higher finish last season make 2010 that bit more interesting?
I couldn't give a toss what they do.
10 - Season prediction? eg where will you finish and how do you think you will perform?
I would like to see us achieve a top three finish. Going on the last few season's, I just want them to compete.

Happy New Year.

Name:
1 - How did you rate your side's 2009 performance?
well below par
2 - Who are the key players for you?
Sean Long, Craig Fitzgibbon, Willie Manu
3 - Young star to watch?
Danny Houghton
4 - Player you would most like to get rid of?
Wouldnt like to get rid of anyone in particular
5 - What's the general opinion of Richard Agar?
Still undecided, make or break for him this season though
6 - Which game are you most looking forward to this year?
Our Grand Final victory , but if not then Rovers at KC
7 - Who is your most hated opposition player and why?
Ben Cockayne, an incident involving his foot and some poor sods head coming into contact with each other
8 - Have you been happy with your transfer activity for 2010?
Extremely, we got exactly what weve been needing, impact and direction
9 - Does Hull KR's higher finish last season make 2010 that bit more interesting?
Not particularly, i hate them just the same lol
10 - Season prediction? eg where will you finish and how do you think you will perform?
Top four finish, with at least a semi-final appearance along the line. And we wont win the fair play awards again this year i bet.

Good Luck mate

1, Very poor, hopefully things can only improve.
2, Sean long and the 'Tongan mafia'. i.e. Lauaki, Manu and Sam Moa.
3, Craig Hall. Has the potential to do great things but i feel Agar needs to be convinced of his ability.
4, None.
5, I would say if after 10 games we're struggling, he'll be struggling to hang on to his job. Saying that, desperarely want him to do well.
6, Castleford at home.
7, Judas.
8, Yes.
9, Not bothered about Rovers. just want us to be competitive.
10, Top 4.

Happy new year.

1 - How did you rate your side's 2009 performance? Shocking.
2 - Who are the key players for you? Berrigan and Sean Long.
3 - Young star to watch? Tom Briscoe
4 - Player you would most like to get rid of? Lee Radford - sorry Radders but your well past your best and many of time are ineffective in going forward.
5 - What's the general opinion of Richard Agar? Hull fans are very fickle (well the large majority anyway) and he will be judged on a week by week basis. If we win five on the trot he will be great but the minute we lose then he should be sacked. Overall I'd like to say this season he's finally got a squad hes built and hasnt being dealt the worst hand.
6 - Which game are you most looking forward to this year? The first one obviously! after that we have a score to settle with a team not far from us.
7 - Who is your most hated opposition player and why? Paul C**ke , the most unloyal, backstabbing , wife beating you'll ever see.
8 - Have you been happy with your transfer activity for 2010? I'd have liked to have seen another back signed, I think we're crying out for a class centre to tell you the truth but every player coming in is an improvement on those going out.
9 - Does Hull KR's higher finish last season make 2010 that bit more interesting? Not at all, we're only bothered were we finish not what they do. I mean lets be honest they usually bottle it in the big games anyway. It'll be nice to win the derby's but if they finish above us, they finish above us.
10 - Season prediction? eg where will you finish and how do you think you will perform? If long stays fit and our pack live up to expectation then we should be looking for the top 4. I think we will finish 4th, but anywhere in the play offs is an improvement.

Sean Long as our obvoius leader but it's a full team performance and togetherness which is key!!

1 - Started well but faded badly, all in all very poor.
2 - Long, Berrigan, Fitzgibbon and Tansey.
3 - Tom Briscoe.
4 - No one really, maybe Radford at the end of the season depending on how he goes.
5 - Fans don't really rate him but like the look the squad he has put together so are willing to give him another chance, needs to play better rugby and has no excuses this season.
6 - All of them.
7 - Not a fan of Bailey or Fielden.
8 - Yes, we have done everything we had to do.
9 - Not at all.
10 - 5th.

1 - How did you rate your side's 2009 performance?
Embarrassing
2 - Who are the key players for you?
Sean Long and Shaun Berrigan
3 - Young star to watch?
Craig Hall
4 - Player you would most like to get rid of?
Lee Radford
5 - What's the general opinion of Richard Agar?
Out of his depth and is lucky a flukey Challenge Cup run and a ready made excuse in injuries bought him more time than he deserves
6 - Which game are you most looking forward to this year?
The 1st Game
7 - Who is your most hated opposition player and why?
Paul Cooke
8 - Have you been happy with your transfer activity for 2010?
Very much so Long and Fitzgibbon will be like having 2 coaches on the pitch
9 - Does Hull KR's higher finish last season make 2010 that bit more interesting?
Not in the slightest
10 - Season prediction? eg where will you finish and how do you think you will perform?
6th after a dreadful start that costs Agar his job.

1 - How did you rate your side's 2009 performance? Embarrassing
2 - Who are the key players for you? Sean Long, Jordan Tansey, Willie Manu. Depending on how much gametime he gets, Epalahame Lauaki
3 - Young star to watch? Craig Hall - make or break season
4 - Player you would most like to get rid of? Tickle - not sure he's committed to the club
5 - What's the general opinion of Richard Agar? Works very hard, good spotter of talent (eg Briscoe). Out of his depth so far as head coach at a club with our potential.
6 - Which game are you most looking forward to this year? Saints away
7 - Who is your most hated opposition player and why? Ben Cockayne, having seen the video evidence shown at his trial. Also made obscene gestures to Hull fans at Cardiff. And has terrible tackling technique.
8 - Have you been happy with your transfer activity for 2010? OK. Good signings, but squad is not balanced in terms of expenditure and experience - too much in the pack, too little in the backs.
9 - Does Hull KR's higher finish last season make 2010 that bit more interesting? No, they did it the year before as well.
10 - Season prediction? eg where will you finish and how do you think you will perform? No idea. If we keep everyone fit, could be Top 6. If we get injuries of the last 2 seasons, probably 10th.
