releasing watts was one of the worst decisions hull have ever made.its decisions like that over the years that have prevented hull ever consolidating any success we have had.

Said exactly the same on here when it happened,what an idiotic decision to sack our best forward mid season.Like you i said we always dismantle our side and never build on success.What did Watts do to deserve the sack,if it was that bad why was it kept secret.We looked good with Ellis, Fonua, Pritchard and Watts but they have not been replaced with like for like.We need leadership on and off the field and nothing seems to have changed from last season

how long are people gonna bang on about watts? hes gone and had to if what most say are true, might as well start talking about paul cooke again, or shaun Briscoe, ellis is the one we miss imo, a true leader,

Whatever issues there were with Watts, a resolution should have been found somehow. Can’t believe it wasn’t possible.

Unfortunately with Taylor a main player in our team it wasnt possible.
I have posted before that this all kicked off in Australia

He wasn’t released, he was sold disaplinary reasons that have never been revealed by the club but guessed at by keyboard warriors. Dragging Watts’ leaving the club is really old news.

It's not old news though, is it, because we are still suffering the consequences.

Of course it’s old news and has nothing to do with here and now. The fact we didn’t recruit new faces is the problem here and now.

I said before the oz trip it was a bad move by the club. If we lost watts due to an incident there then it was monumentally disastrous

I cannot understand why Radford doesnt pick Brad Fash, he is gonna be the best prop in the world in a few years. Total wrecking bull like O'Meley, he is a fantastic prop, the 2nd best prop in the city. Cannot understand why he isnt been played.

Like Mtongogo- Similar to Petero Civoniciva in his hard running, the front row looks good for F.C if they continue in the way they are playing.

Top post.
Did it take you long?

Re: Our forwards : Sat Feb 09, 2019 8:59 pm  

currently i'm seeing parallels with the way the 2005/6 team was slowly dismantled. then we lost swain, cooke, mcmenemy, chester, briscoe and didn't replace like for like. we eneted an extended period of mediocrity (albeit the disastrous decision to sack sharp didn't help matters). we have lost fonua, ellis, watts and replaced none of them like for like
