Bit un fair on RH , its not his team yet !

Jones looked weak in defence. Dropped Tali and played Rawsthorne in the centre instead of on the wing, picked Muranka instead of Westerman and put Dean back at stand off bringing back Carr who is not playing well. Questionable decision making that does not look good for the future.Most of all,how can he give 100% to Doncaster when he's still coaching at Hull?I assume you noted he was at Radford's side taking notes at the semi on Saturday.

From what I heard from someone who attends training Westerman failed a head test & Tali had food poisoning .
Agree about Carr though .

No excuses though we were poor & RH has a lot of work to do to get us into an effective time .

I personally think that Horne should stick with the team that got Donny to the super 8s and stop changing the team round so much! We missed some key players today. Our middle were not strong at all and missed quite a few tackles, no disrespect to Horne but I don't see why Carl Hall didn't just leave Pete Green and Rhys Lovegrove in charge until the end of the season as the team looked like they were starting to gel and played some good rugby hence the back to back wins!

Totally agree, Pete & Rhys should have been left to carry on their good work.

I agree with Weighman.

The experience Richard Horne is getting from being involved at Hull must be of benefit to both him and Donny.

The squad he has taken over was Gary Thornton's squad. I think we all know the recruitment of players for this season was poor. We've struggled accordingly all season.

The real issue is how the club keep the fans onside for next season and whether they show a real intent to get us out of this league. Wanderer's quote is very appropriate:

Wanderer wrote:

Carl said on ITD, quite correctly, that the club had not achieved it's targets this season. Today must count as a further failure.

I therefore look forward to statements from the Club on how future targets are to be met before the support-base all but disappears?

I can only see positives coming from Richard Horne's continuing association with Hull FC.

Surely the spin offs from someone with current Super League standards can only rub off on the team eventually. Whether Club Doncaster are prepared to back him with a suitable budget next season remains to be seen.

This season's team haven't been up to scratch and we had too many non-performers yesterday (no names but I think we know who). These were clearly before RH's involvement.

I'm effectively writing off this season and pinning my hopes on a good close season with RH in control in preparation for 2018.

Ever the optimist....
