some of us can see the bigger picture
that 'scrappy' rugby isnt going to get us into the playoffs, or are you just happy for our season to end in July again? |

| Quote: Kosh "I'm watching it again now, and apart from the diabolical start where we let them score two tries through some shambolic play it WAS an improvement. Not much of one, granted, but improvement nonetheless.
We at least attempted to play with more width, and actually succeeded on many occasions. Our tries were well worked and we actually had players in motion and dummy runners.
In the second half we went into our shells and reverted to more of the 5 drives and a kick stuff we know and love.
Don't get me wrong - there is still [iplenty[/i of improvement required. but I think we made a first, small, faltering step in the right direction tonight.'"
We did far more tackling second half and had far less field position which is why we weren't spinning it as much. Bringing it out of your own 20 is no place to be doing it despite what many detractors might erroneously claim. When we got near their line Yeaman scored/disallowed. We weren't that close apart from that.
Having said that what the fook Agar is doing coaching our forwards to lose a scrum against the head in the last minute I just don't know. He wants sacking just for that. |

| Quote: The Dentist Wilf "Been in Leeds on business all day until late afternoon and I would not have usually gone, but I felt that after the week we had had I wanted to get behind the team and be there whatever happened. It was a win, Richard Horne was good at Full back, we got two points, and I came home happy.
It was by and large poor fair, but myself, Wolfie, Denbo and a few of the other die hard who went, are glad we did! When the good times return and they invariably will, because they always do (Unless some on here hound the board out and our club collapses over night) we will remember tonight and smile!
Lets now see what confidence the team take from the game! A Win is a Win and however poor it was against a team who have had a cuple of good wins themselves of late!
It is the bad times that make the good times good. Hull Fc are my team and I am glad I went to Salford!
This won't suit all the pyriahs on here who seem to revel in our current plight so let the criticism begin!'"
Well said

Surely that has to be a joke ?
Agar would not have said; there's two minutes to go lets just not put any effort in the scrum
That was the players fault and nothing to do with Agar |

So threatening and attacking out wide is scrappy play now? We're not the best team in the league but we're not the worst. I don't think you can see any bigger picture at all. |

It was a joke but I'm expecting a new thread to appear about it any time now from one of the usual suspects who I strongly believe are annoyed when we win. |

I agree with much of what Kosh said about the game. I still can't help thinking that the quality of the opposition made the slight improvements possible. I don't think Cas will give us as much latitude.
All that said, it shows how far we have tumbled when a very scrappy win at Salford is seen as a good result.

the other poster described the game as 'scrappy' not me, I'd describe it as very poor and error strewn from both sides.
and the bigger picture is this club is in rapid decline, the fact that some people are somehow delighted that we were marginally less hopeless than Salford baffles me |

I've paused at half time to watch CSI: New York. And brace myself fr the second half.
One thing I've not seen mentioned yet - our completion rate in the first half was 82%. That's a huge improvement over the last several games.

Spot on. Quite a few on here are clearly annoyed that FC have got an ugly win and still see fit to post negative post after negative post as it suits their agenda. We were only missing Crocker, Lauaki, Berrigan, Raynor, Tony, Byrne and King after all. Impressed with the effort and defensive work tonight. Fortunately we were near enough to see the sweat and effort at close quarters for ourselves, as opposed to those sat in smug cynicism, criticising every move we made in Jim Royle mode. |

The fact that you are so disappointed we won baffles me. |

| Quote: Staffs FC "
I think it's a little unfair to say that anyone is annoyed when we win. Everyone on here is passionate about Hull FC, and most of us can see that we have some fairly substantial problems on the playing/coaching side of things. Some do get a little carried away with how they express their disappointment, but that's because they love the club and hate to see it doing so badly, so needlessly.
So what happens is that you get one group of people who express themselves in what might be termed a slightly excitable manner, and another set who assert that the first group are not real fans and are revelling in the club's misfortunes. They in turn say that the other group are sheep, and the whole sorry process continues.
Neither side is more to blame than the other, IMO.
