Cheers for that, I was supprised when I switched on & Phill Clark was going on about how we were going to get a thumping (right as it happened) & would be lucky to score & I was quiet anoyed, untill I saw the team we had put out. do you know what is wrong with Tilse & Lunt? As I said I found it strange that no one has said what the injuries are & why Blair did not play much. Once I realised we were so under strength I feared 100 points plus. But hey its the way we are & anything could happen next week! all part of life in East Hull.

Of course not, but it isn't time to throw the baby out. Worrying lack of effort and desire though.

Noohhh! Hull fans would happily accept a 60 - 0 drubbing without criticism of the players, coaching staff or club owners. I mean, we're only a small club, happy to be punching above our weight in SL and as long as the players kiss the badge we'll continue happy clapping.......oh, hang on!

I think that is sort of the point that the duck is making.

you've had your expectations raised by relaxed and confident white knight Adam Pearson over the last few years, while ours were relentlessly managed by Craig Sandercock.

We know we're not a big club by SL standards and it's Chester's first full season so a few green shoots are sufficient. Especially given our situation at prop from pretty much day 1.

Radford, and by extension Pearson, spent a lot of political capital 'sorting out Gentle's mess' in 2014, so it's natural that Hull fans are disappointed with the lack of pay-off.

All that said though, the negativity around Hull FC seems to have taken on a life of its own. 5 and 7 isn't good, but you've certainly had worse teams and form in recent years. And pre-season it seemed like that would be mildly disappointing at worst. All the wailing and gnashing of teeth - it's a bit disproportionate, innit?
