Were you not around when Rich Agar was here?
Quote: Lostyorkie " But if the whistle blew to start the game and then people walked out it would provide a clear message of no confidence that could not be seen as an emotional response.'"
If you're expecting people to fork out the money to get into the game & then walk out as soon as it's kicked off then you're going to be sorely disappointed.

Bit before my time but I really hope you are right Mrs Barista. Anyway HKR board must think he has something special because they are looking to extend his contract.

| Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head " We are 4 games in, and as bad as we were last night there are clearly worse teams in this league than us. Wakefield shipped nearly 60 points at Widnes last week ffs.
We need to stop looking for ridiculous excuses every week, admit that appointing Radford was a mistake and bring in someone who can give us a clear plan of where we want to go. The club Hull idea is fine, but we are building it on sand.'"
Hudd's apart, you have yet to prove there are worse teams than yours, Wakefield is everybody's favourite to go down so for you to compare yourself with them in a desperate attempt to defend your teams poor start is laughable, that being so even IF you finish three places higher in the league than them, and there's no guarantee you will, you'll still be mixing it with the likes of Batley, disappointing for a club who along with their fans' had high expectations. I suppose the best way for you to compare yourself against Wakey if you must, is wait till you have played Widnes at their place as well.

That's the way. Why bring KR into it when the issue under discussion was the expectations of one of your supporters of your players. Is that the height you can reach with your contribution?

Where have I tried to defend our start. We played okay against a Huddersfield team who played very poorly. We tried hard against Warrington but offered little attacking threat. We gave up at half time against Leeds and never even started against Salford. It's been a very poor start.
I'm just responding to some fans who are spitting their dummies out and saying the season is over after 4 games. Afterall, looking at the fixtures this weekend, we could still easily be in the 8 at the end of the round. There's a long way to go yet. We might not win again all season and Batley might hump us 60-0, who knows? All I know is nothing is decided after 4 games.
To listen to some fans you'd think we're the only team ever to get a good hiding. The Wakefield result, Salford's loss to Saints etc. They show that we are not alone.

You're right in that just as Huddersfield and Wire were no reason to get carried away, Salford and Leeds are no reason to think we are in for a bad season.
We undoubtedly have a tough start and will hopefully start winning soon but its hard to see us getting much out of our next two games.

I don't expect anything at Wigan but the French often travel poorly so I wouldn't be writing that one off yet. If we can be 2 from 6 with a couple of good performances we can go into what is a nice run of winnable games with a bit of confidence, but if you are out of form they start to look a lot less winnable.
This really is Radfords last chance for me though. He has to start showing a bit of leadership to get us out of this slump. Top 8 is still well within our reach, but we've got to start stringing some performances together.

When speaking with a Rovers' supporter its not the height of the contribution but the depths we have to reach in order for you to understand.

The french play rovers the weekend before so will probably stay over for the Friday night game which will probably work in their favour

| The club is run by Billy Smart with the clowns in charge.
Not a clue
We pay off two players costing the club a fortune, and recruit some more backs which can't even make the starting 19. Are any of them better than Arundel or Shannon and are we financially better off for outing them to bring in Naughton and Micheals.
While we have rectified the half backs, it is pointless if your pack is can't win the arm wrestle. We have needed one if not two rough beasts to plough up the middle for some time. Paea is quality but can't do it by himself, he's a short minute impact prop. We let Lynch go, what clown made that decision, had a monster season last year. Bowden and Green don't rip up any trees, and Watts turns up with a great game when he feels like it.
Totally disillusioned I'm afraid

A tad harsh IMO. We'd get much more value from Watts if we followed up - he has a great offload game but there's never anybody there to take one.

Some good points here, but everyone except me thought that Lynch was a spent force. Idiots.

Not quite true. Staffs FC for one was championing him until the end.
