I thought Atkins looked a bright spark for you, and did cause us some problems at times, I think though the scene was set when after a bright start and you forcing repeat sets with some smart kicking you opted to take two points when at that point you had us under the cosh. It showed a lack of confidence and we jumped on that. A couple of unlucky for you /lucky for us tries and the tables were turned.
What you need is a running hooker - Lunt isn’t that and never has been. With the squad you have you are going to struggle to play to your strengths with a passing hooker.

Must admit, the ref gave rovers everything as well. Real missed opportunity this was.

I’ve not seen the game and I’ll likely save myself the time and pain.

However, despite taking long overdue efforts to remedy the situation, we’re back to playing with an underpowered pack again, thanks to injury. Which is dispiriting to say the least.

A bit like the year we signed Poore and Langley, but about 5 times worse right now.

You really have to try harder your trolling is crap now run along your mammy is calling you

should have taken note of what your big brother is doing reserve teams are the way forward when you play in the big boys league you in need a bit more depth in your squad,you just cannot turn up with 14/15 players and 3 or 4 kids (against the bottom team in the league) and hope to get a result and to think were only a quarter of the season in never mind its only ST HELENS next

Jools don't bite. This loon is an embarrassment to Hull FC and is nothing but a troll.

Like your shower at home to wakey.

I said it last week and i'll say it again vai vai is a luxury,couldn't tackle the wifes sunday dinner.

Quinlan,crooks,maguire,mulhearn,greenwood,garbutt,jewitt,scruton,lannon,linnett,dagger,wallis,wardill.
Not a bad injury list.

Don't quote the Loon plz... Putting him and George the Horse fancier on ignore makes the site readable.

I bet you wish you had a 38 yr old gaz ellis to call upon right now and lets be honest he would be first choice backrower at your club,if you don,t get some players back soon Huddersfield will have caught you up,leeds and wigan will have sorted themselves out and you will be in trouble again RELEGATION!!!

SHEENS OUT, if you can be bothered look at my old posts regarding him, going back to the championship you will see I have said it all along. The guy is a dinosaur, stick him on a plane home and go get James Ford at York.

It started with the misuse of an excellent player in Docker-Clay, then selecting Dave Hodge when we had good young players who could have used that season to really get good game time.

Then the signings of 2018, Walne, Conor Williams and Todd Carney etc

One example this season is the isgusting misuse of Chris Atkin.


I was told by an ex player who is now killing it at his new club that he went to Sheens in pre season to ask what sort of game time is he to expect this season, he was told " I have players on bigger salaries and i have to think of them first"!!!! This is 100% true.

Your opinion is valid and as fans we want success now.Agree with some of what you write but having only 1 prop from 6 is just nuts. I liked the look of our squad pre season and we haven't played that badly until Friday. Most teams will go through this during a season imo. What coach could have done better? Although I agree Atkin could have been played a lot more.Another season of scraping by.(Hopefully)

Good to see Shaun Lunt back and fittingly at one of his ex clubs.

Great player for the Giants.
