After today, I expect the coach driver has already put the SatNav coordinates in for Whitehaven, Workington, Swinton, Dewsbury, Oldham, Leigh et al

The trouble is that despite my smiley, I see only comic value in our shambolic team after that performance today. The result will have significant commercial and financial repercussions, but needs to trigger some major soul searching by our players, coaches and board.

I seem to remember that we started every game in the middle 8s last year against the Championship sides very slowly, playing at what we thought was their level, while they played initially at what they thought should have been our level. Eventually we woke up, but we had Puletua and Chisholm then. We do not seem to get up for these games at all. That does not bode well post regular season.

Full credit to Oldham today, they were more than good and skillful enough to capitalise on our sluggishness, ineptitude, mistakes and infringements and the conditions and our fragile confidence probably helped them as well. They had a goal kicker too, which always helps. They fully deserved their victory. I hope they repeat in a home draw next round.

Spending all of this weeks training sessions before this cup tie with the youngsters of the joint venture of Hull KR and Hull FC (Hull Academy) didn't exactly help our preparation going into this game ......What was that all about?

Goose, we need to check with Burtons Forearm on what medical or psychological syndrome or... itis Hull2524 suffers from. BF is an NHS employee as I recall.

I'm no medic, but I will invent a condition called fantasy titis by proxy for him in the interim.

One of the FC players got Radford in a head lock and told him "I coach this club now!" .......Don't ask me to name him or prove it, just take my word for it! ......Ok?!

Hull2524's .. Itis must be extremely contagious. Mind you, I was picked by Stan for the Wire game. I initially turned him down, as I had just verbally committed myself to signing for an unnamed NRL team as their franchise record signing. Lucky for Stan and Rervers that I hadn't put pen to contract at that point eh.

laugh all you want, time will tell,

What? ......Time will tell who the "bad apple" is who you are talking about? ........Will they be publicly exposed within the Hull Daily Mail? ......What on earth are you talking about?

If you are not prepared to name the "bad apple", then at least tell us how "time will tell" .......How?

And Radford replied quaking, "OH, ok mate"

I'm far from laughing, I'm saying that up until this point you're a very credible poster on this forum and very welcome.

But, this evening, you are claiming intimate knowledge of the inner machinations of our club.

Can you back that up?

Woke up this morning in Melbourne and flicked to Hull Daily Mail and still in bed an hour later
Mrs made me a bacon sarnie as I haven't stopped laughing for an hour
This is Rovers worst CCup result since, well hang on a minute , since their last CCup game

It has to be the players , Websters a decent bloke and Hudge can't be questioned

It's just like disenfranchised employees in a poor company

I work with some at my place

They question why others are paid way more and why should they have to work their socks off on a pittance of a wage. This is not hard to work out as it's fairly standard human behaviour. Just because they're employed at a Rugby club makes little difference. The team are an oxymoron of that description and until they get a pay rise then you'll see what you would see at Asda etc. however pay rises are not available.

Clear out your big earners ! However that can't happen because of employment law blah blah blah

It's very funny to watch mistakes unfold and there is no quick answer, just a long slow season that we are not half way through

Wow! ......See how easy I told how Pritchard told Radford he should be a part of the starting 13 .......But yet the "bad apple" is still yet to be revealed! ........We all have our inside information, but some just want to be seen as being more important than they really are! ........Tell us who your "bad apple" is .......Or, just f**k off and stop wasting our time ........Simple!

Stay in Melbourne and leave us alone, Tarquin .......We honestly don't care what you think ........Just put them prawns on the barbie and leave us be ......Seriously, your thoughts are as much appreciated by us as a turd being circled by a fly ........Just live your life down under and leave us be ........Your comments mean nothing to us ........Runaway ex-pat and stop dreaming of the country you turned your back on because we don't care about you whatsoever! .......You mean nothing to us ........Ouch!

I just love that reply , one of the best I tell ya

Do you mean that you are the turd ? I know you can't polish a turd , but to liken yourself to a steamy curry induced turd , really does tickle me

Life's quite cruisey here mate
22c late autumn
Hodgson for Raiders
Storm later
Maybe put a koala turd on my barbie and fry me kangaroo brown


Ah look mate , you've cheered me up no end
