What do they say about opinions?

Are they? personally think thats debatable, they are improving but the fact remains your halfs are average at best therefore you have to grind out wins, hence the RU tactics of once tickle gets near enough you kick for goal. Its the equivalent of playing Ronnie O'Sullivan at snooker, playing for snookers from the off and hoping you bore him into submission.

Bottom line is it was two pretty average sides and therefore made for an exciting game, either of us meet anyone good in a play off game we'll get beaten.

You are right a lot can happen before the end of the season, however right now the stats don't lie nor does the table we are the better team. We were fairly average on Saturday by the standards we have shown so far this season, the fact remains you lot are average most weeks and that is being generous on my part.

Amazing what a win can do

Hull look a very cohesive unit now, (IMO!). The foundations look good and already I'd say they're more than flirting with being a good team. They're still a tiny bit limited and possibly getting a bit thin on numbers, but they should make the top 6 from here. I can't see us doing that, but I'm more optimistic about 7th/8th now. We've got some reet tough games coming up, so hopefully Saturday will have given us some confidence.

Thank you, but you'll get chucked out the choir for that.

2008-11 we merely punched above our weight while you were ravaged injuries.

Again, you confuse opinion with fact. Unless you watch us most weeks, it's 2nd hand opinion as well. Here's a "fact" for you, most weeks we are not average, in fact several weeks we have been so far below average it's not funny.

Inconsistent. There's a better word. Average implies we play similar every week, and we certainly don't, you never know what to expect when you go to Rovers.

Very well put stan, even during the course of a game we can go from playing some of the best rugby I've seen to being totally back. In fact bradford, catalan and Hudds games prove that point.

Your beliefs are biased because we are Hull FC, you should have watched us play against Leeds our display was far from average, also out of interest since Salford beat Huddersfield do you consider them average as well ?

So the crux of the matter is in selection of which matches should be used to gauge how average a team is.
eg.
v Rovers - does not meet criteria, disregard.
v Wigan - most certainly does not meet criteria, disregard.
v Leeds - will do nicely - hey we're a top team!

Who said any-one was a top team ? Believe me we do not have to be a top team to be better than you lot..

They really aren't based on it being FC, I'll give u Leeds but they are pretty shocking at the mo. and are struggling away in 7th. We beat Hudds and yet i still dont rate us. Fact is with FC they don't have enough fire power to compete at the top. you defend well but the better teams will still put points on you.

In all honesty do you see yourselves as top 4 / 5 material? if not it puts you in a pot with a number of other teams who will in all realty fight it out for 6-8 and the follow on by getting beaten by one of the good teams come play off time.
