I feel Hull Kr have lost all momentum as a club, yes there was the CC final last year.

In the subsequent years following promotion under Morgan it felt like KR were ''building something'', culminating in 4th place finish at end of regular season in 2009. But now it's just meh. Win won lose one, beat st helens lose to wakefield, lose by 70 to wigan, beat warrington by 40, you know? Just the classic stuck in limbo mid table team.

I wish we were mid table

Yeah folding at home in a big game in front of the cameras you wouldn't know anything about that would you

No sherlock, it's the number of points I was saying was harsh. Plenty of teams done it previously and got less when their offences were equal if not similar. We got 6 points because of Koukash and his disdain for the RFL. Any other team would have got less.

Bored of baiting KR so picking on little old Salford now eh?icon_smile.gif

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly my take on it.

We've been floundering about looking for meaningful new direction for about 5 years.
Sort of fell between the stools of being ambitious and pushing on, and being a compact/balanced smaller SL club.

With the appointment of the experienced Sheens to hopefully balance Peacock's idealism and narrow long-term focus, it feels like the 'passivity' of the last few years is coming to an end. Might just be too late, unfortunately. I very much hope not, obviously.

Great stuff , cmon you Salford, we need a Salford in SL.

You've already beaten them comfortably away and they lost to london last week so I really don;t see what you're all worried about

the game will be like the rest of the season" on the day"weve only been beaten up by Catalans early when they were in form and full strength,, drawn with warrington narrow defeats to wigan, hull,etc we could have easily have won these games not a lot to choose between top and bottom on the day, Salford are good on their day but home advantage should see us home reasonably confident

I wish I was the only good thing is we do after getting beat take it out on some team so you never know

The combination should get Hull Kr moving forward again, but so called mid level teams only seem to be able to move forward up to a certain point, before they plateau and then start declining. Cas are a good example, they have been moving forward and building momentum the last few seasons since powel took over. They are pretty much at the plateau point, but instead of being able to kick on and for example break through and make a grand final appearance they'll tread water and eventually hit abit of a decline. It's incredibly hard for teams to make that breakthrough.

No pressure from the East Stand yesterday Jakey Boy just stunned silence in the first half as to how crap and half d we were. No speed and urgency all round. Couple this with seasoned professionals like Lunt, Campese, Mantellato and Donaldson playing like squidgy headed dicks. Chucking daft passes, needlessly forcing passes, gifting tries, making idiotic decisions, switching off at marker.

We upped the intensity and effort in the second half, the East Stand and the whole crowd appreciated it, got behind the team and nearly got them over the line. In the final analysis, we couldn't finish them off, despite opportunities.

We could repeat same next week. That's my worry. We are currently a team incapable of stringing a ruthless 80 minute performance together, home or away.
