If we play a single other game with Lovodua in the halves we might aswell concede before kick off.
McNamara isn't great but he's still better than Lovodua. I'd wager Medforth or even Balmforth (played for Reserves today in the halves) would be better.

Couldn't be bothered to watch the game today. 1st half sounded abysmal reading stuff online.

Can't see where the next win is coming from to be honest.

Think we need some signings to come in ASAP. Something needs to change. If Wakey get an upturn in form we're stuffed

Either litten to FB and McIntosh on the wing or Wynne to FB and keep litten on the wing if Hoy out

New beginnings ..Same old endings .

Not sure if he picked a knock up or not, think maybe more a case of Smith just not wanting to put him back on. To be fair we were better with him off the field. Said before Houghton should have been honest with himself and the club and called it a day at the end of last season as he is spent.

Yet again though the game is gone in the first quarter of a game and then we don’t start to wake up until the 2nd half. It’s just not good enough and it’s down to a lack of any real desire and poor attitude. We look like group that is not in harmony at all.

Changes need to be made to that squad asap as we really will be in relegation trouble with what they’ve served up so far. There’s something rotten at the core as no excuses for the sheer lack of effort, desire or commitment.

If we're going to add size to the forwards like we should be for next season , Then there will be no place for the likes of Fash , Brown , Cator & Lane . They get out muscled and bumped off far to easily .

Don't see what size has to do with it. We had Satae, Taylor, Evans and Andre out there today in the pack and they're all big fellas. I think it comes down to how good you are rather than size.

Or how much you want it for your mates in the team and the fans on the terraces attitude and application today was terrible. How many of us were relieved at the score in the end?? Worst FC team in the first half of the season I have seen for decades. AS Chris says We are in big trouble at the bottom of the table for sure. I feel for Smith because he has inherited some poor signing and a culture that has been self perpetuating at the club for years now. All we can hope for now is that Rovers get the kick off time wrong and don't turn up till 3-00.

Clifford and Hoy are absolutely dreadful

Most fans feel the same but whilst the players have to take responsibility i am sorry to say Smith has done nothing to enhance any part of play whilst he has been here.
We are not up to standard in fitness and speed which was said to be a deliberate policy to try and cut down on pre season injuries but seems to have backfired
The defence,line speed and structure is non existent.
Today once again we tackled as a three but fell off tackles and its so easy for the opposition to offload,yet Warrinton tackled us with just two which highlights our lack of forward intensity
When you look at the new coach at HKR he has come in, got them ultra fit from hard work pre season and worked on defense yet we now have the worst defense i have ever seen from a Hull Fc team.
Really not sure now that Smith is the man to take us forward.He lseems to lack any passion and is too laid back given the difficult position the club is now in.
This continued use of Lovodua at six when its clear to see its not working is behond belief.

Peter Stirling and Brett Kenny in their prime would look e in this team. Another busy body pops on the forum to give his tuppence worth, shock horror.

I was casting my mind back and reckon this lot are as bad as the team that played under Len Casey.
The players are taking the P*ss !

The actual team wasn’t that bad, Casey was the problem. Once he left we weren’t too bad, didn’t we beat Wigan at home towards the end of the season.

The Paul McCaffrey try

The last few years of poor recruitment / retention / culture are all coming home to roost this year.
We look disinterested and clueless. Some of the biggest earners are the ones who are not putting the effort in.

I’m really struggling to maintain interest not just in my club, but in the game generally.
