God when you put it like that, we were flying high then and they had loads of injuries, dodgy feckers

Well, that's a perfect way to round off the weekend's fixtures. Rovers looking very very good, defence vastly improved, strong go forward, dangerous in attack even without Green. On current form they'll be well ahead of us by the end of the season (again).

Looking like we'll scrape 8th. It's like Groundhog Day.

Indeed. This was supposed to be a tough run of games for them but fair play, wins over Hull, Warrington and Huddersfield - very impressive. Meanwhile our run of games which should've brought league points has been a disaster.

Big turnaround since Good Friday.

We gave rovers a massive confidence boost when we bent over to get bummed in manchester and tehy've not looked back since. We, on the other hand, have gone into freefall. 4th place is up for grabs with the form of leeds and hudds.. Could have been ours

Yep looking like a real battle for us to keep ourselves in the top 8 now. Very disappointing. However I still have faith in the club to get it right in the long run (ie beyond this season)

I blame my stupid half term report.

“The players will know they are joining a big club with big ambitions and one that won’t settle for eighth or just semi finals. This club should be challenging the very best and with inspired management in all areas, allied with an ability to actually spend some money on the necessities required to run a successful club, it will challenge the very best. It may not happen overnight but we will not stop working and investing until we do succeed."

Let's hope so, AP.

Week off to recharge the batteries

If Manu is carrying a knock then withdraw him

Another season of transition, how many more do we have to have befor we get it right.

Pearson bought Hull FC on July 22nd 2011
Gentle was announced as coach on 12th September 2011, he has been in charge for 19 games since he arrived.

Pearson has bankrolled more investment in youth and development in less than a year than Kath and Cronies ever did.

Patientce is a virtue we all need for this season, and possibly even next.

My only concern is whether pearson leaving hull city in acrimonious circumstances has changed his appetite for our club and hull in general.

I very much doubt it, if anything, he'll want to be the most successful team playing at the KC.

I very much doubt it, he was 'forced' out of Hull City once before, although that it was ultimately his decision to sell I understand the board 'encouraged' him to to do so.

That didn't stop him returning and saving City for a second time.

The man is a fantastic sports businessman, he took City from league 2 nobodies to an established championship team. He then saved Derby from destruction, bringing in new investors and securing their future, before returning to Hull and doing exactly the same.

He it's no secret he prefers to own a club, while at city he witnessed the mismanagement and potential at FC, identified how little money is involved and the low risks of running a RL club rather than a football club and so picked us as his new project.

He doesn't move on until his work is done and given our recent results I'd say the job is far from done!

We are 2 points off 3rd place with a game in hand over the 2 teams directly above us ffs!! Yes we have thrown points away recently but who would not have taken 3 points off Saints, a draw with Warrington, a derby victory, a Leeds victory and only 5 defeats from 16 games at the start of the season???
