Yes. Also he didn't say we'd "destroy" Rovers, he said something like we'd not lose a derby, which turned out to not be the case but was not something to knock him for.

funny that everyone on here has been saying since the start of the season we need an overseas 7 and a second row

Extracts from what Hoy actually said:

"I have heard that the Hull Derby is so important before I even came over.

We won't lose one while I'm here for sure- that's my goal not to lose one of those- and hopefully we will be the strongest Hull team in the competition.

Hull fans have all their songs and chants which I am looking forward to hearing and they will be sure to give you a big kick up the backside if you are struggling."

My Hull family is split down the middle on Hull v Rovers so certainly was a huge talking point.

Heard Tex sister called Shippa

I'd heard it was Linda.

Some honest and mature comments from Hoy about his time at Hull

Probably would have won today if he'd been playing

While it's quite a humble interview from Tex and he certainly wasn't our worst overseas signing, he must have been doing something bad to get paid off..the club could have changed their mind on ditching him after Smith went

Never did it for us on a regular basis. Hope it goes well for him. Not our concern now.

I fail see see how anyone can think Hoy was pur best player, certainly not based on his performances for Hull, think we have already seen better performances from Walker.

Saying that he was definitely picked on for hull and other clubs which was way over the top.

For example Leeds first try yesterday if Hoy had missed the tackle Walker did, it would be all over social media.

he was potentially our best player but never produced the goods consistently. When he was on it he was much better than walker in attack. Clearly didn't get on with the coach but he wasn't the only one on the naughty step

I would quote your post Dave K, but this website is awful at the moment.

Walker wasn't the only one to blame for that 1st try. Sutcliffe's attempt was shocking, and Lane just jogged back

Agree, was a poor attempt too from Sutcliffe.

Actually thought he played well after that.

Irregs@16. I'm having problems quoting posts as well. Very frustrating.
