Rubbish

If everything is so good where are the top class locally produced players in your squad? Where are the ones just breaking into the first team? Whilst on paper you do have some decent squad players the whole bunch are performing poorly. There is a reason you were able to sign players from Leeds. Leeds did not want them and you can see why. A number of up and coming local players performed well for us in very difficult citcumstances last year. They have not had the same opportunity this time round because of the quality and depth of our squad. Your first team squad are not performing at a level that would keep any promising young kid out.

Most are 17 or 18, there are a few others who should be given more of a chance, Staverley, Balmforth and Litten (at full back), but we prefer to play the likes of Shaul, Houghton, Evans, Lovodua and Lane.

Little point in having a production line then if Smith insist on players who are past it. How many of yesterday’s squad came through your ranks?

It’s subjective but I doubt it. Probably won’t even be informative for me. Even people who can read them say stuff like ‘it is hard to tell with abridged accounts’.

Nearly all SL clubs run at a loss, not least St Helens (in recent years at least) the supposed example to others. Everybody spends more than they have because they’re chasing others doing the same. Sometimes the money runs out and clubs have to tighten their belts or if they don’t/can’t they go bust. S’only interesting if it affects the game.

I mean, Rovers almost went bust over something like £500k (I can’t remember exactly but it was a lot less than £7.8m). I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve more debt now than when the Sharks went to the wall or when Pearson rescued you. Yet here we are, you thinking a spell in the lower leagues mightn’t be so bad and me now paranoid about how many commas I use.

Shaul, McNamara, Lane, Fash, Houghton, Litten and Gardiner. And obviously the 4 in your squad too.

Perfectly put mate,all clubs have the idiots who do the best to ruin what should have been a great day for east hull,lets hope cctv pinpoints the culprits and ban the lot of them.

If you had any sense you would realise why.
The only reason these guys are on your board is for the expected future shareout of profits from building on the land around the ground.
Remember Hudge put the club up for sale then as soon as he was given the news that the Hull C/C would gift him the land he was back like a rat up a drainpipe
Sewell then followed (what a coincidence just happens to be a builder).The rest are just part of a jigsaw that can offer some value to the projects.
None of them apart from Hudge have an interest in R/L.
The planning applications will not be made public so i suggest to you and any other deluded HKR fans who think the club is now super rich that you keep an eye on planning applications at the Hull C/C.
Once building starts ill give it 7 years and the ground will be bulldozed

Not we as supporters
Smith
I just wonder if the other members of the coaching staff actually have a view or voice.
Gene will obviously side with Smith as Smith wanted someone loyal and that means to me do as i say but surely there are others who should voice an opinion.

So four actually played in the match. KR Academy provided half that number for the FC side. Not bad for a club that does not produce any SL players.

I mean, if nothing else we find out how much you paid for the ground last year.

Well, the cost of the purchase will need to be shown in the tangible fixed assets note under land and buildings additions. So, yes, I think so
