Castleford aside no team has played consistently exciting rugby for fair few season.The game was always based on the pack laying the platform and after dominating the middle the half's and backs cut loose.Factor in better training/stamina and interchanges plus some ref's keeping a skinny 10 and players getting better at delaying play the ball etc the game has become predictable and most are playing to same system.Sheens has yet to prove we can grind it out better than the teams we hope to displace but he's not going to change now.Have we got enough? I don't know? Been waiting for the 8's all season, now there here I'm very nervous, I think we all are

Yesterday we didn't care. The worst performance of a boring season to date by a country mile. Did we even reach a 30% set completion rate even? Halifax and the Drighlington Dynamo in particular bossed the game from the start.

There's got to be a reason. I reckon the players minds were already focusing on this week's break and time off. Halifax had the incentive and desire.

On their return to training next weekend, playtime will get serious. Not convinced the players have the mental strength and composure to turn it on when things don't go to plan, the size in the middle to win the collisions against bigger packs or the creativity to unlock defensive intensity. For me, it's the MPG again at best. Time will tell and happy to be proved wrong.

As a Goose, you've probably sorted out a few cocks in your time.

You never said most boring Lee £ spent? You said most boring ever. We far more boring as recently as the sandercock era.
If we stay down then this year will be a disaster, go up and the ends justifies the means.

peter mannion is entitled to his opinion and you cannot live in the rugby past. with the rewards you get from superleague now its totally different, his point seems to be part time/ full time big salary/peanuts .you know yourself when you've got a good side who may deliver,, with dodgy defenders and no halfback we could all be disappointed ,, particularly with whats at stake

No your right but that's not what I asked you

Just for clarity, this is one of my fowl jokes, not a homophobic slur. Just to ward off any faux outrage

Is that your user name on grinder?

My comment was in relation to the outcome of 2015 but thank you for the erudite analysis

If I knew what grinder was I could answer

Yes if only we could go back to the heady days of Hull KR 2 York 0 on a postage stamp quagmire surrounded by dog and speedway track. Back then 'New' Craven Park was so bleak that opposition players would retire rather than have to come back. Well that's what Phil Clarke says and he's a TV expert. Why oh why are Sheens & Hudgell ignoring this highly sucessful strategy of freezing the b*loocks off the opposition the place is like a holiday camp nowadays.

We'd barely calmed down from the excitement of the York game when that was followed up with a real points fest Hull KR 6 Fev 4, we needed our abacuses for that one. No really we did, the electronic scoreboard was still frozen in time from when it broke down just as we went into administration for 3 years.

And another thing. Floodlights what's the point of them? We got by perfectly well with candles stuck onto the pylons we brought with us from Holderness Road. Okay so it was a bit dark towards the corners.

Nobody complained when someone blew them out and the Leigh game had to be abandoned when we were losing.

Well said and did we not get beat by 2-0 one time and a 1-1 draw or am I getting that old now I make things up what I think I so
