All the Hull bragging rights are ours until Easter. Won 2 from 3 derbies, scored more points, conceded about 200 fewer, more competition points, higher place, play-off win and a major final. 2 in the Dream Team. Difference is our chairman views the season as a failure, despite this unequivocal supremacy in the city, because frankly in the big scheme of things there's no more sense of achievement in that than finishing above Wakefield or Bradford. "Small club" according to their coach, losing their most influential player, offering players contracts too small to live on (unless they like beans), and a CEO whose stated target legacy is to sell academy players to bigger clubs. Marvellous.

You forgot to mention the loss of their best forward to a bigger club and the petty way it was "announced" by the One of Short Stature.

What!!

this year we were 7 wins away from being 10 times challenge cup winners

If we become more consistent, we will win more games. Unless we become consistently poorer. If we keep our defence strong and improve our attack, we will win more games. We can't possibly improve and then finish two places lower. 7th or 8th is a failure.




Maybe 'being fair to Gentle' isn't the right way of putting it, but you'd have question the judgement of a man who sacks a coach because he hasn't achieved the desired results, then sets his successor a lower threshold of success than the guy he's just dismissed.

What a strange post.

so what would be an acceptable return? in your opinion ?

Really?

Like claiming we were one win away from 5th?

makes no odds, someone would have smashed us no matter in the play offs, i predicted a 60 pointer at Leeds

What on earth are you on about

.....not getting relegated.

Very disappointed in you. Your posts are usually those of someone of intelligence, not Dobbins troll.

Feel free to point out the inaccuracies in my post, cockle.

We bested you in every aspect this year and our season's deemed a failure. Sandercock is at liberty to be club apologist in chief it seems, blaming injuries, other clubs' superior squads, facilities, back room staff and academies but never his own inadequacies as players continue to want out as soon as their contract's up (e.g. Paea) or preferably before (Dobson, Paterson, Taylor, Watts etc). Relish our exit from play-offs in appalling style if you like. I can see how it insulates you from the uncomfortable truth that we're better than you, dissatisfied and taking action.
