What's embarrassing about them ?
Are we the supporters whose season highlight was our local rivals getting to a cup final ?

Just to clarify it was not the getting to the final......the highlight was the final itself. |

Perhaps not well worded, but he meant as in widest margin in the Challenge Cup Final's 118 year history. |

Well, when we lost in 2008, here were some responses of Hull KR fans. Awkward.

That makes their season a success apparently.

How do you know what he meant ?
Surely a 'record losing score' would be the most points scored by the beaten finalists |

You laughed at the suggestion FC's season (higher league position, no final) was better than yours (losing in a final), yet this is consistent with the response from your own fans when the boot was on the other foot. |

Pretty obvious what he meant, even for the hard of thinking (the sort of people who judge a survey only by the first ten opinions, for example).
The only other all time Challenge Cup Final record created that day was Tom Briscoe's tryscoring record, of course. |

"Dress it how you want" but on average the prediction's, what, 5th? We finished 7th before the split in 2015. Your indignation seems a tad intense in this context.[/qu
Is that legal speak...'minimum', 'nailed on', 'average'. You sound like a financial advisor.
The fact is 50% believe you could finish 4th. That is highly unlikely.
Catalan Salford Wakefield look like they've all improved. Giants will rely heavily on Brough (you remember him?). He's not let them down yet.
Leeds won't be as strong and maybe a car crash missing Sinfield but even then would finish above both Hull clubs.
Saints had horrendous injuries last year so they could be a lot better than last season.
Warrington now have pivots in Gidley and Sandow. This may free up Clark. They will be better again.
Wigan have a fantastic bunch of young players who will be outstanding over the next 5 seasons.
Castleford have recruited well. They're better coached than both our clubs.
Who knows with Rovers. The back row is very light...again though Clarkson could be an improvement on McCarthy.
Mimms looks an exciting prospect. Thorniley will have to play well. The pivots are good and the wingers score a lot of points.
Our defence will have to improve dramatically....that's unlikely though it surely can't get worse.
Both teams given a good season will not finish above 6th.

So you admit you're just guessing about knowing what he meant , and don't know for certain |

They're not my words, BF. Your good friend Chester Wednesday stated:
"Well over half are predicting top 4.
Plenty more speculating 4th 5th or 6th."
This has been comprehensively debunked.
As for the rest, I don't know what your point is, other than to support the thoughts of the majority of FC fans who are predicting 6th at best. (12 out of 22 now including Dave K and Marcus's Bicycle).

I'm not certain that BF and myself have ever met , so I don't know where 'your good friend' comes from.
