That winter we decided to sign squad players just to fill the reserve team up was madness. I know the RFL were making noises that clubs supporting the Reserve league would be looked opon favourably but no other team in SL history has signed lower league players just to try and win a reserve league.

In fairness to the club we didnt need Abdull and Sneyd, and Sneyd was still fairly young there was no need for a younger replacement.

Also 6again has helped Jez Litten, and we werent to know that rule change was coming.

. Nail on head. Wish sometimes it didn't have us by the short and curlies and we could walk away. But as my dad told me. Once your in your IN .

There is one qiuck fix which costs nothing but could make us into a team that competes and thats fix the indiscipline.
It cant be that difficult
Put a bucket in the changing rooms.have a tariff for red card,yellow card,six again,daft penalty,missed tackle,dropped ball.
You have to make the players think,concentrate and take responsibility on the field
You can put some changing room fun into it but cards are serious so start the red card at £100

Can't argue there

Pretty much agree with everything that has been said.

I’ve been going home and away for 20+ years barely missing a game. But this year I’ve got Catalans booked a couple of times but I can see them been my only away games this year.
At this moment in time I simply don’t get any joy out of watching Hull FC anymore (and rugby league as a whole for that matter the way it’s become).

I’m afraid another bad year and the way the game looks with the rules as they are to be next year. Adam could be set to lose a fair chunk off the attendances.

Just read press release from Hull City that Pearson attended a meeting with Tan Kasler and the Council about redeveloping land around the MKM.

Feels to me we are in the long term plans for the stadium, which is a speck of good news amongst the gloom.

Woudnt trust the tory clones

Think they need us involved to get this deal over the line. More likely to get approved should it benefit both clubs, hopefully the new deal gives us opportunity to earn some money from the stadium.

NRL rumoured to be buying SL, be worth it just to have them running our game.

I'd be interested to see what the NRL think they would get out of that arrangement as I can't think of any obvious benefits for them. Unless it would open up the possibility of selling TV rights to Channel 9 or Fox over there to generate additional revenue.

Agree, a massive disadvantage for RL is our two biggest markets are on opposite sides of the world making even more games between the two leagues hard to arrange (and I can only imagine the score if we faced an NRL side

)

I also think if we've started with the IMG plan we need to keep going with it, the game has a bad habit of chopping and changing strategy very quickly.
