I predict Wakey will have their usual mid season resurgence involving sacking their coach, signing a couple of fringe NRL players / super League loan signings from hudds/ elite 1 players, beating us, and doing just enough to get 11th/10th place as they did last year and most other years in super league

Whatever happens, we all still love the club. I remember watching us play Huyton , with my father, when I was a young boy and that was when things were bleak, but we are still a long way off that. When he can call on Truman, Clifford, Hoy , Dwyer, Satae and Sao, we will be a team that can at least compete. I think we are now as bad as it gets. We will see an upturn in fortunes soon and be good enough to stay up, whereupon a complete squad overhaul will happen and we can enjoy our great game again.

Hope you’re right but I think too many have already decided, or have been told , that their time with us is up and will not put that effort in to win when the chips are down. I see no mileage in trying to gain yards with players like McIntosh and Swift when we have the likes of Sao and Satae on the pitch. It just doesn’t help that they both look out of form, for me Sao had been our best player for the last two years , so something is not right .I firmly believe that Hull will not be relegated , even if we finish bottom- no way can a sport that is struggling to actually survive lose a fan base like ours and maybe the management know this already , would explain a lot . I couldn’t give a toss about how HKR are doing , good for them if they are successful and let them enjoy it , but we’ll bounce back and I had heard that one of the Healey family is injecting some investment next year , from a guy who usually gets it right so maybe we just have to sit this out and wait for the good times again.

That's the spirit! Hope you are right and of course , we will bounce back, this club always has.

Why next year?
The club need investment this year.
I would take that with a pinch of salt .If it was true Healey woulnt have to delay an investment till next year when the club is on its knees now financially.
You buy into a club when its desperate like now.
What would happen if the team suddenly came good later this season and won the Challenge cup and got to the grand final.The price goes up

One of the Healey brothers is too busy pumping millions into the Tory party and the other one is dead.

It's little more than poorly disguised mischief making. icon_lol.gif

I didn't post that but had similar to Alf, so making mischief is something I leave to others, your apparent inside knowledge makes this a mockery then. The reason for the investment was also given, a hatred of Kilburn and all things Sewell and MKM, so maybe a load of , but your mockery says little more than how arrogant and self consumed you are.

Wow - Hull turf wars executed via minority, borderline bankrupt, sport. Someone call Netflix.

Having them on the pitch for a royal rumble before the derby would make for some good pre-match entertainment
