Re: When will we learn..... : Thu Apr 24, 2014 8:00 am  
over reaction by the OP although I was guilty of the same initially when i read the headline of

Jordan Rankin: 'My partnership with Jacob Miller could make Hull FC Grand Final contenders"


:shock:

However having read the quotes attributed to Rankin it is a fair leap to the headline thankfully......

“It takes time to build a half-back partnership,” Rankin told the Mail.

“But in our favour, Jacob and I have played together before so we’ve been able to build on what we had before, and slowly we’re getting back into it.

“Our communication is getting better every week.

“I know Jacob’s game pretty well and he knows my game pretty well too.

“The other boys are also getting used to how we play.

“Once we are all on the same page, we will be a threat when the play-offs come around.

“We've had the chance to play with each other for the last three or four weeks and I think we've done pretty well.

“Now it’s up to us to keep our spots in the team.

“There is pressure on us but pressure makes us play better. Jacob and I know we have to perform every week otherwise we won’t be in the team.”

I quite like the way we've been handling the media so far. I like the regular player interviews even though they never say that much.

I don't even think the headline is that sensational. That partnership could make us contenders. We've gotten to finals with worse half-backs and worse packs to play behind.

i'm proposing closer editorial content so as not to be embarassed by supporters of other teams accusing FC of "bigging themselves up", tell you what Kosh, just delete the thread, you can't debate on here nowadays, you just have to pucker up and comply.

Why would I lock the thread when we're having a civil debate? :? And nobody has asked you to comply with anything.

We will have limited control over how the HDM present their articles - and rightly so IMO. The HDM may be a useless rag but it has to be free to print what it wants without being held to ransom by our or any other club. Besides which, having a fall out with local media outlets hasn't worked for us in the past.

The article itself, and the direct quotes from Rankin, are entirely ordinary with no potential whatsoever for 'embarrassment'. Without the stupid headline it wouldn't even be worthy of comment. IMO of course.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Re: When will we learn..... : Thu Apr 24, 2014 9:11 am  
It's as bad as this recent headline....
Tom Biggs agrees deal with Worcester Warriors after cancelling Hull FC contract.

The first sentence of the article....
HULL-born winger Tom Biggs has agreed a deal to join Worcester Warriors after seeing his move to Hull FC called off.

Why let it bother you?
It uses the word 'could' and 'contenders' so hardly like we are saying we are going to win the GF.

It is only an interview about their partnership improving, no big deal really.

Can't see a lot wrong with it and perhaps maybe you've over reacted slightly in your response.

All the Clubs complain about such headlines which in effect don't reflect the article at all. People like James Smailes get it in the neck but they write the articles and conduct the interviews then leave the story for publication. The sub editors, many of whom know little about sport but think half the time they are writing for the Sun, add the headlines.

FC posted this on twitter;

"In reference to the messages we have received from our fans, we agree the heading of this morning's Hull Daily Mail piece is misleading

The Hull Daily Mail have agreed and we understand they will be changing this"

I'm guessing this is related to this story. HDM being a rag again, then...

I have the paper infront of me and I really don't see anything wrong in the interview. At no point does Rankin make any outrageous GF claims.


Exactly, talk about an over reaction by some of our fans.
Why create an issue over this when there's not one there to be had.

For gods sake, so now the club are getting the Dull Daily Fail to change their headlines?

Whats next? A front page apology that moves for Crocker, Scot Prince, Rangi and Biggs didnt come off, including Sculthorpes car was never seen at DeVries Honda

Hows about AP with a rallying call for people to go to games?
