It can and does change rapidly though.
There was gonna be some serious questioning regards Gentle earlier in the season until Shaul scored that try at Wakey.
We put up a much improved performance against Huddersfield and go and get a result in France and things take a different twist yet again.
Let's hope so.

Not sure, lets line them up on tries scored.

| Quote: Standee "I get the impression there are deeper seated issues, we've had a "cancer" at the club for years (am sure people remember McRae referring to it as such), since 2005 successive coaches have been and gone and nothing has really changed, Gentle is working wonders with the youth setup, wether that's him or AP's money is open to question.
IF Westerman and his pals are out on the beer too much then we have the same issues as we did when Kingy was here, and a lot of that blame can fall to some of the fans, it really isn't acceptable for professional athelete's to be out on the lash, but knowing the generosity of Hull folk I'd imagine they rarely have to buy a drink of thier own.
If we do not turn things around then season pass sales will drop again next season, if City do anything in the Premier League then that will also have an impact.
One thing is for sure, I don't want Gentle, Galea, O'Meley, Yeaman or anyone else in the HDM in coming days to tell us all how great it's going in training and how the lads are "gutted", we've lost three games against poor sides that teams like Wigan and Warrington would have destroyed, we knew at the start of the season we aren't top four, as it stands, we're not top 8.
If we don't at least go down fighting in Perpignan in a fortnights time, FC will lose the respect of some fairly devoted fans, and that will take a long time to recover from.
I just can't imagine Gentle tearing a strip off anyone, similarly Agar and Kear before him, meek and weak characters who, quite possibly, can't stand up to bigger personalities. Ellis hasn't shown the leadership I thought he would, Lynch has been similarly anonymous, both playing their own games reasonably well, but not bossing their team mates around.
Thanks for agreeing with me - I have been spitting feathers for over a year now about the exclusives with Smailes of the Mail - ban them all. The latest thing that got me going is 'The 18th Man' send you questions in to Joe Arundale -for Sundays programme - for Gods sake change the record. I don't want. while these players are not cutting it for them to give me their opinion.
I know don't read it - I wont but others will.
I've just noticed the "entertainment" on Friday is a Rod Stewart tribute act, the club are clearly in the dark ages in some ways.'"

No problem, I know exactly what you mean, the day Galea has deserved the right to offer comment will be when he's finally had a decent game. (and I mean a game where he has been consistent for every minute he has played)
It's almost like "I was , but other people were worse"

| The way I see it:
1) Our steely defence, which brought us through some of those close games in the 9/10 run has gone AWOL.
2) We are crap in attack at present, but there is some mitigation in that we've had umpteen HB combos with Seymour, DJ, Horne, Heremaia, Westerman etc all having a go, and looks like another one coming up. On the plus side, Miller looks keen with some early promise. Lineham and Crooks are quality. The best business we could do this season would be getting Crooks on a long deal. On the downside, Yeaman, Briscoe, Crookes and Arundel have been very poor value relative to the shining example of the inexperienced Lineham and Crooks. Worrying that the last 2 are contracted and likely to be first choice next season.
3) With the quality available, the last 3 performances have been totally unacceptable and put a massive sledgehammer blow through our league aspirations to get a couple of play-off wins. Nowhere near good enough.
4) The game in France is huge, but even if we win, unless we get London/Shefield we'll be out in the semis.
5) If we lose in France, unless we pull out miraculous performances in the play-offs, the season is a failure by the club's proclaimed standards and aspirations. I do wonder whether there will be consequences. Hard to sell passes for a formula that delivers mediocrity and no element of novelty.
6) I love Clarky, but the fans need a break from the relentless PR machine. Come back and talk it up when we've redeemed ourselves on the pitch. Or be honest about what's achievable with this group of players and coaching set-up.
7) It's fecking hard yards supporting this club at times, particularly with endless unfulfilled promises of glory. But it's the same for all but 1-2 clubs every year. And I wouldn't be anywhere else.

Personally, that won't be enough to convince me that anything has changed. The next key performance IMO is Bradford away. I fully expect us to be better in the next 2 games, it's what we do: We're playing a top 4 side, and a cup game, and we're off the back of some poor performances. Our players seem to turn up focussed in those circumstances. The problem is that it seems to take such circumstances for them to get their heads right, and until they get it into their thick heads that they need to turn up with the right mentality EVERY WEEK we/they will continue to be also-rans.

Completely agree, I said about it before the game. He's either got a strange sense of humour, no self-awareness about his performances, or just an outright f***ing cheek.

| I like many Hull supporters was disappointed with last night's overall poor performance & after listening to Peter Gentle's 'after match' comments [on R.H.] I am concerned that all may not be well within the club @ the present time. If I heard him correctly he mentioned something about it [in general terms] when answering a question but quickly stated that the matter would be resolved quickly.
I hope that if there is such a problem then it is resolved & that we as supporters can watch better performances from our team that we saw last night.

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Quote: VoiceOfReason "IMO you have got a couple of players in your side that are letting you down at present with their boozy antics
I know both Joe and Liam very well but what did they both do for your cause last night?
They both made one break each which resulted in tries being scored,but surely that is not enough is it as they could both be International players with their undoubted abilty?
If you don't believe me as to what state they get into then get yourselves into the Airedale crown in Castleford on any Sunday after a Hull game and you'll see!
I have told the pair of them to buck their ideas up and on numerous occasions too but they keep on giving too much of their spare time to the beer I'm afraid
I suppose that Hull is just far enough away for them to continue with it too and still get picked each week too'"
Hmmmmmm......
