"Taxi for Nathan " thread up and running on their board

Hence the

Yes we All know its first game of season long way to go yet etc..;
Gentle has not helped with our bigger stronger faster talk. Players talking to the media hyping their game up.. then we go out and compete for 60 mins !! it should not be acceptable to the Club or the Fans.

How dare you come on here with a positive outlook and supporting the players?,don`t you know where you are?

Ha I know. Rebellious ain't i!!

I am in agreement with you & I am not bothered whether St. Helens or any other club play well or badly, my concern is for Hull. I like many others want them to improve & allowing for some changes in personnel in the close season etc., I did not see any improvement from them @ Leeds.

rovers beating the french today will make it even worse for some

Maybe they should close the Humber Bridge.

When Leeds , Saints , Wigan etc get thumped and go through bad patches their fans may get a bit upset like us but then they can take comfort from the fact that it will be a blip and in very recent history can point to similar blips which have then been forgotten as they win the cup or the league or stay in the big four in that very same season. Us on the otherhand look back and see the same old pattern so I think it's not unexpected that when we lose to Leeds in a similar way to previous seasons that the liklihood is that nothing much will change. I need to see evidence on the field that we're bigger , faster and smarter before I can start to be optimistic and after the KR friendly and the Leeds game there is none.

If you looked closely there were signs. Very close mind. McDonnell chimed into the line a few times in good attacking positions but the ball was to pedestrian n slow to get to him. Had it been done right it would have been hard to defend. We were a lot deeper in attack on some plays than I've seen before, we moved the ball right across the line a few times even in our own 20. None of these things stood out though because of the slow poor manner they were executed. We tried a over ambitious play off the scrum n immediately lost the ball, another day that would have been a break. On the few times we kicked on the front foot you could see it was better. Holdsworth 1st kick after we'd been held to 15 metres n they picked it up on their 10was something I haven't seen 4about 6yrs.
Defence at times was great, would have definitely conceded more in that opening 60mins in yrs gone by.
To many didn't turn up on the night for whatever reason. Especially Danny Houghton n whiting I'd not expect them to play as poor ever again. Westy n galea are better than that as well.
I expect a big jump in improvement by Bradford n then weekly improvements as we go along. Will take time though. Watts n tickle back will help matters to

What a lot of poster have forgotten we had 7 new players in the team ,They have to gel

What do some people expect the coaches & players to say when the reporters go round asking how preseason is going? Hardly going to sell tickets if they say how we're behind schedule, not very confident of winning the 1st game or in fact any games are they? Seriously.

Some people on her really need to get a grip. We have played one game... Seriously!!
