Maybe teams enjoy travelling to our place? it's a beautiful stadium to play in, who wouldn't enjoy it?
Maybe because we don't get to train on there, it doesn't help our advantage?
Judging by yesterday, maybe we're cursed there?
It's certainly a strange one is our recent home form. Because we didn't have much problem getting victories away from home last season.
Next home one will be interesting, because it's our home form against Warrington's away form. Something has got to give.

Who else is clutching at straws, I can only think of three other posters I would say have on occasion. |

Well they are certainly playing a style of rugby that gets the fans off their seats, unfortunately it’s not with excitement or entertainment but leaving early due to the what is being served up at the KC.
Got to be sorted and quick.

Some of the bone crunching hits have been exciting, one yesterday after a Sneyd bomb had the crowd up.
Hard crowd to please sometimes. |

| Quote: Bombed Out "The thing is with giddyupoldfella I've noticed is that he will always enjoy the victories as we all do but look for justification for our losses and poor performances.
It's almost if injuries and suspensions only effect Hull.
We are spending way over cap, have recruited some real quality but yet still churn out performances like yesterday.
It is just history repeating itself with the same old failings.
The playing personnel have changed several times in Radford's tenure but yet our playing style, fitness and mental fragility have not.
Time for a fresh start but unfortunately Radford seems to be made of Teflon. Always the players or fans at fault.'"
As you appear to know how much we pay each player and how much over the cap we are can you please enlighten us as I for one do not know |

I know imagine wanting your team to play entertaining rugby and win matches. |

It’s not just the way we play it’s the interchanges, game in game out they are a joke.'"
8 wins in the last 24 home games? Surely that's not right? |

It's down to the coach, although he regularly blames the fans |
