I'd have thought the HDM headline "The inside story of Hull KR's 2006 Grand Final win as told by key players" would have caused more upset!

I think the local reporting is apart of the problem weve seen recently, all too cosy, no players really being held to account for poor performances.

Must be nice playing e, then picking up the local paper and recieving a 7/10 rating each week.

Need somebody who isnt going to lick, and report it as it is

William isn't a journalist, few who work for Trinity Media could be accused of such, as you say, all too pally.

Hdm reporting has always been too cosy
Going back to the days of dick tingle travelling on the team bus.
It’s all about striking a balance.
If the reporter becomes too critical the club will become more defensive in interviews & access to the club news.
The club, players all know they’ve under performed for whatever reason.
My personal opinion is that the players have lived off the 2 cup wins. The coach to an extent
also cut slack to the players out of loyalty.

how can you accuse the latest signings of living off the 2 cup wins when they never played in them.

I dont think he is.

Big improvement needed from the Hull born contingent as well as Connor and Sneyd.

Mau, Savelio just need to be on the pitch missing way too many games.

Personally think Carlos, Griffin, Satae, Sao are playing very well.

Big question marks over
Bowden, Shaul, Houghton, Lane, Matongo and Fash
Who i believe decisions on replacements need to be made on

I suspect that the framework for decision-making on player retention may have shifted significantly.

you mean "is he in any of the wedding reception/evening do photo's" criteria has been superceded?

What I mean is the landscape is fundamentally uncertain. We don't have a benefactor to underwrite us. I wouldn't assume we will retain our best players and will be able to trade up. Everything may continue as before, but I very much doubt it. For all the continued criticism of recent years we may look back with warm nostalgia at them.

has Adam left, did I miss something?

I don't think so. But there's a global crisis going on. I think it would be a little naive to think there will be no consequences for the sport or the club.

You think wel let our best players go? Which ones?

What do you mean by we wont trade up?

The only certainty at the moment, is uncertainty.

It seems some just have to have their neg fix

I don’t know about Richard Tingle being to cozy with his offerings Boardwalk, but I do know he once told me personally, he’d been reporting nearly thirty years, and you only get fifteen for murder. His descriptions of games were far superior than we get now, more descriptive of the actual game, and he summarised extremely well, in a time we’re it was sometimes impossible to travel, but these were the days when journalists reported on matches, and the blame culture of individual players as it is now, was very rare.

The green sports mail, you could relive the game with every pass, every kick, it was an art form, now sadly it’s facebook, emails, and marks out of ten for the last performance, we read WillJackson, who seems to deliver the party line, which Is understandable.

One things for certain this shocking viral killer, as I’ve said before, has surely galvanised the importance of our great game, and how much it means to our particular parish. I’m currently trapped abroad, but on the bright side I’ve not missed a game.
