Spot on think Harris looked lost last week, not a criticism but think we need Connor and Kelly in the halves and Logan and Carlos in centres, Miloudi/Talanoa and Faraimo wings.

No way do Leeds have 35 clubs to go at (unfortunately for the game as a whole).

At Under 13s level for example the Yorkshire League currently has 38 teams (I think), this is for all of Yorkshire except Hull.

Even with a loose definition as to what might come under Leeds area, there is no more than 10 clubs in there. So they will struggle just like Hull, although traditionally they have apparently acquired some of their best juniors from outside Leeds.

I've been travelling the long distances for 30 years to get to home games. I've been going 40 since I was in infant school and walked to the ground on my own. that shows that no matter who is in charge, no matter how we are doing I will support our club, in any kind of weather, that's loyalty to the club, you can't seem to grasp that basic concept hence why you asked the question again despite being given an answer.
My thoughts on the coach and how the club is run don't have to be aligned for me to keep supporting the team I've followed since a kid, maybe you need to have a long hard think about that before you yet again write the team off after 20 minutes into a game, writing the season off after a loss or starting a 'we're going to be in the bottom 4' thread after a few rounds - Februrary 24th you started that nonsense thread, after THREE games, one of which we had won! Yet you can't wait to jump on posters whom have a different viewpoint regarding the coach and how things are going generally.
You obviously go to more games than I do, sure you have furry dice but you constantly write the team off and by definition the players, the coach and the club as a whole.
Again, how do you reconcile the fact we aren't in the bottom4/M8s given your same old boring repetitive we're doomed trope, it really doesn't line up does it? On the one hand you must be really glad we still are in with a chance of top 4, on the other you must be gutted that your nonsense thread and constant witterings about season over show you up as a fan who is too ready to write the club/team off and doesn't think the players/coach are up to the job week in week out.

Even worse is that you think that me or anyone else not liking a coach is worse than that I wanted Radford out because after two seasons of absolute garbage he showed no signs whatsoever of being able to do anything. You can make up all the excuses but the previous coach took over agar's rubbish, had no investment in the youth and still managed to improve matters massively and got to a CC final with a bunch of kids and a ton of injuries, so to say Radofrd had a chain around his neck those two seasons is not an excuse for the way we performed which contrasted massively to the previous two seasons.
Since then I've given praise and criticism in equal quantities but he's gone as far as he can IMO. However my not liking Radford/wanting him out is nowhere near the same as simply giving up on the team.
Why not wait and see how things go in a match before writing the team off, why not wait until the season is over, discussing where we are going wrong, what we can improve, what we are doing well, how great x was, is the coach doing enough to resolve this, can a player change so they can improve, can the owner do something different so that more fans come in, whatever the subject matter, but what you do week after week is just defeatist rubbish.
Write your viewpoint, but as with any other opinion it will be challenged which is what a forum is for after all right? I was banned for challenging your viewpoint, a viewpoint you repeat time and time and time again.
Well done for being in the it does endow you with protective powers.


Widnes, we're going to massively benefit from the rest and I don't see anything but a big, big win. Bit gutting with Cas coming back to beat the pies but win and we are still knocking on the door and in the S8s we have a chance to ruffle some feathers. First things first get past Widnes with no more injuries.

Tony, I do worry about your inability to address the glaring inconsistency in your posts. How on earth can you evaluate Radford as useless yet back him to get us in the 4 with a load of injuries, inadequate young players and mental frailty? It makes no sense. I'm not entirely sure why you think I don't support the club. This year I bought 4 passes, 2 of which I knew would barely be used but wanted to support the club as far as I could. 2 shirts. 3 training shirts. Hull FC Live. Some Christmas gifts. I've also been to about 6 away SL games, both cup ties. I'm pretty vocal when I'm at games, in a positive way. I post upbeat threads on here to the point of being labelled an apologist and accused of being on the club's payroll.

The reality is this. Others are equally, if not more, certain that our league position will not exceed that of last year, yet time and time and time again it's me you target. Why is that? Let me guess..

Equal praise



We have just had the best two years in 30 or so years and I'd say your posts are 90% negative

So after admitting that he still wants Radford out and that he doesn't think he can take us any further is the Bumpster going to enlighten us with his choice of replacement once he's sacked the current coach?
Surely he's got someone in mind other than just his blind hatred for Radders?
For a poster who stated that Gentle would have won us a treble I'm rather interested in hearing his preferred nomination.
Go for it?

He seems to have forgotten Gentle's last match in charge against Huddersfield. People were walking out before half time.

To be fair most of us would prefer to forget that. A low ebb.

This isn't a penis measuring competition, everyone supports the club in their own way and have the freedom to do that. Posts like this just insight the anger that derails the board into the chaos we mods have to clear up, more and more regularly at the moment.

Seems to be endemic, there’s a chap “ presumably” on The Huddersfield forum who has called Adam Pearson a rat.

They seem rather upset by the whole Connor signing don't they!!

Just a touch, didn't complain much at the time though!
