| Expectations have got that low in parts of our fan base now that 'having a dig' is all that matters, you need to have a dig and also have ability... depressing times.

Easily done. Pessimism has protected me from it for a while but I was enthused by the signings of Willie Mason and Mike Ratu, which exploded and fizzled out, respectively. Mason was high risk but I still wonder… what if there hadn’t been that constitutional crisis in Tonga?
Who knows, Lane’s form might improve and he might find himself part of a stronger Hull team, next year.
Or even if he gets a few weeks out of the team so fans see it isn’t all his fault.

| We all agree lane needs to be moved on. . But he's being picked and doing as much as he can. Of cause having a dig isn't all that matters. But whatever ability you have it's the first thing you need to do on a field. The kid isn't good enough at the top level . But has anybody on here played the game at a decent level?. Because if you have you will know players like him are always valued. It's ok watching it from the stands or in your armchair but it's a hard f ucking game believe me. Maybe why I'm always a more positive poster as I take my hat of to anybody who runs into that pitch

| If Houghton is fit I'd play him at loose forward and keep Brown at hooker. Save moving people around and Mint is better there than our usual 13s and we can keep our props at prop where we need props propping.

Good post from chris71. As for players having a dig , I meant on Friday the kids including Lane had a dig. The total tackles he made are far above what he’s done previously.
Lane hasn’t been great the past 5 seasons but who has in the current squad. We’ve had hammerings season after season.
Discipline ? Where were our overseas signing on Friday ?
Pele 4 matches , Ese 2
Yet no one criticises our big earners..
I could criticise every hull player but what does it achieve..no one has stood out. To read criticism that yeah he made 54 but missed 2. He was in a team with young kids against a bigger more talented team.
I speak to other fans and it’s only on here that I hear so many negative posts.
I will continue to defend on here players that give it a go.
Some on here would prefer Jake connor , Savellio Griffin back.
They’re not exactly ripping it up now either.

Think its only fair to point out that most, if not all on here condemned Pele for his total idiocy at the time and since, for me Ese'ese gets a bit of slack as I felt at the time and still do that it wasn't worthy of a ban, same with Ligi and even more so when seeing others who got off scot free.
I would think its fair to say the part of your post I've highlighted in bold is the most likely reason as to why there is criticism but the club should not be immune to criticism either due to the poor retention and contracts handed out which has been effectively rewarding poor performance.
As you say about Connor, Griffin & Savelio, I think that shows not just a level of mediocrity we've had at the club but also that we've held on to players too long, as how many players other than those that have retired have actually ripped up since they left?
Back on to the London game
I'm pretty optimistic of getting a result on Sunday though no doubt it wont be an easy game in the least due to 'mitigating' factors (sorry couldn't resist usingt the RFL's buzz word) but I was heartened by the fight and togetherness shown on the field at Warrington.
If they 17 that take to the field on Sunday play with the same effort and desire, we remain 13 v 13 for 80 mins and remain disciplined then despite everything we should get the 2pts.

| Doesn't sound like Carlos will be back this week. Guess it's Darnell and Litten in the centres?
I'd try and keep Okunbor at SR for this game. Hoping Staveley gets another shot too

Probably be fine, as I predicted they will go mad first couple of games, the Brown incident has probably sped up the process along with the players call last night and they will relax again
Hasn't helped us much though, with 3 sending offs and multiple bans.

Interesting piece from the meeting last night, clubs have been told to stop players stopping the game looking a the ref to go to the screen for penalties, that's one of our neighbours game plan gone to pot haha

Absolutely nonsense about not critising high earner player, look at Carlos and previously Reynolds, Evans etc.
Also many fans have been critical about those players who have got bans.
Facts remind Lane isn't good enough based on the last two years and has been average the last two games, along with many others.

Video refs at either game won't help, no way would Brown have been set off without a video reply.
