unfortunatly agrred

The odd thing is, if Hull FC had the right people in place, they would be far and above in SL.

But then Kath gets in the way.

Thanks for the erm, praise, I ummm think.

Doesn't count as they only have a c grade licence

Correct.

Not putting HKR down - I think it is remarkable what they are acheiving so soon - but I understand Wigan might have been upset by a rather bad decision just before half time. Sometimes these things go for and sometimes against you.

it was 1 play after the hooter sounded according to sky but always say play to the whistle.

Thing is, as they like to point out (and we would in equal measure if it were us) they've had a clear roadmap to where they are now and are delivering on it. We're still waiting for our 8 easy points.

My opinion is that Rovers will struggle more when the homegrown players requirement increases to 8 and the quota drops to 5. For all that Whelam is a good player, they're not bringing 2 homegrown players a season through to play regularly. They're also £2.4m in debt and can't finance ground extensions for either home or away fans. An inconvenient truth for those who like to label off the field management as irrelevant detail, perhaps.

BUT for now they've been canny to work the current quota system to its limits and their run of form reminds me of us in 2006. In the Cup, Morgan took Toulouse to the Semi Final for goodness sake, so you have to fancy Rovers to get to Wembley unless they get Saints in the semi. No point in predicting it's all going to go wrong for them as there's no evidence to suggest it will. In the short term.

They have a far superior coach who knows how to teach his playes to win tight games ......now compare that to a Club we all love that has twice the turnover and twice the quality in Youth and then finally ..............you look at our coaches we've had since Brian Smith left ....exactly.

and Rovers had a try disallowed in the first ten minutes that the TV replay showed was valid. Swings/roundabouts.

Marathon, not a sprint

Will Hull FC rise to the challenge ?
I think not !
Fair play to Rovers though . Good recruitment , passionate Board . Young up and coming Coach .
Where as we just bumble along from one disaster to another.
Come on Hull FC wake up!
