Just had a look at some stats and surprisingly we had more tackle busts than Rovers and also less missed tackles.
Our missed tackles are much more crucial. They're directly leading to trys more often. Nobody else is making a cover tackle if somebody misses.
We only had 3 play the balls in Rovers 20m zone, whereas they had 33. Gave ourselves no chance

Edit: sorry this was meant for the match thread

What is or would be the protest?

It doesn’t feel like you’re at the ‘Smith out, Pearson out!’ stage yet. If only because there’s no obvious alternative. If there is no money, spending it isn’t an option. The lack of communication is a bit odd, as it should be an easy paint by numbers thing for somebody with his experience… do it in-house via the club website, if there’s a concern Dan Tomlinson might ask any even remotely searching questions.

1. Very disappointing start to the season, genuinely sorry.
2. Nobody is more disappointed than me, and I’m working very hard to fix it - as is everybody at the club.
3. We are spending to the full value of the salary cap (almost certainly true, even if it is one of those truths that is misleading) but we have had to manage (i.e. reduce) our overall budget in the short-term (consider ‘medium-term’ only if things are very bad) to ensure the club survives the fallout of the pandemic and can make repayments on the loans taken during it.
4. Things are tough right now but we will come through this and be stronger (emphasise ‘will’ and ‘stronger’, and most people won’t notice the hanging comparator).

Thanks for your concern. Haven't you a forum of your own?

That has to be an early April fools story
A positive quote from Helen Clark.Sneaked in by guess who James Clark

If rumours are correct Pearson and Smith taking circa £400k from pas holders to pay their wages.

Smith’s contract is up September and Pearson has said publicly he is the last coach he will ever appoint?

Are they both walking end of season?

Can’t sell a club with debts and no assets

It don’t look good at the minute.

Only club apologists get asked

Smith out Pearson out banners for the Huddersfield game ???

Now all games are televised it will definitely get noticed !

I do think if the passholders can stay away, for 3-4 games, it will at least give Pearson notice that next years renewals will be so adversely affected, the club will be in peril. He may then offer us all an explanation of why we are where we are and the vision for improving our predicament. Or he may just ignore it.

I suspect they'll be less than 8000 physically there at weekend, possibly less than 7k.

Ill always be a fan of Hull FC but atm i am not a supporter and cant see myself being so whilst Pearson remains in charge as the whole club is a disaster. Last year whilst living in the north east i still managed to get to about ten games, bought two shirts, two training hoodies, a training shirt and two vests, this year ive attended zero games and bought zero merchandise and that wont be changing. If that hurts the club then maybe thats whats needed. If the club went bust and was demoted then maybe thats whats needed also. The whole club needs a massive reset, theres zero fan engagement and you cannot say one good thing about the whole club. Sometimes youve got to go backwards in order to move forwards, Getting FC out of Pearsons hands would be a massive start. We need a new owner fast and whole new ethos across the whole club - you only have to look at City what a positive new owner can do in a short space of time

The owner doesnt take the club backwards on the field
Smith is responsible for that and needs to be sacked,The most inefective coach we have had for a long time.Even with Hodgson we saw some improvement in play.It was his poor recruitment that killed him
Pearson has made some poor decisions but i feel for him at the moment given his financial restraints

A protest on Saturday wouldn’t make too much difference if Mr Pearson isn’t even there? Sunning it up overseas apparently

Pinocchio toys and cost cutter carrier bags?

Neither Smith or Hodgson had much say on recruitment,that’s all been down to Clark.We missed out on many players due to Clark offering derisory money based on cost cutting within the club.Costs have been cut all across the club
