Think we can't finish out top 6

Indeed the worst position finish we can have is 6th, however it might even be 4th (I haven't done all the permutations yet, but owing to the fact there's so many games between the top 5 in the last few weeks of the season, teams will have to drop points)

Pete's right , no halves = no pots.

We will finish this disappointing season with a whimper due to an inadequate squad .... again. How many years will we go without 2 recognised halfbacks before it finally sinks in. As has been stated people claiming 'there arnt any out there' should just look over the lump where they seem to have no problem replacing them

We've been scrimping on recruitment in hope a set of superstars come thru the youth system and it didn't.

We've only just got the props to a decent standard, we went 4 years with one centre and we must have gone 3 seasons with one or no halves and people wonder why we stopped making finals.

Finishing out side the top 4 would take a collapse of unheared of proportions

I don't think we will win another game in 2014.

I think that's a bit OTT, with the way form has gone up and down this year, I can't see us losing them all

Well our pack has been hit and miss this season and we now have no kicking game and no playmakers. Brown does have the option of throwing a couple of kids in who could provide some but it seems he's rather we just struggled on than take a risk ... although I'm not exactly sure what the risk is given we are a rudderless ship

Re: Hull FC Match Thread - Saints 12 v 19 Hull FC : Sat Aug 02, 2014 1:13 pm  

But given we are out of half's we are all stabbing in the dark, some say play Wello, for the leadership, others a young un for the kicking game, other say swift etc.

There is no obvious solution to this problem and saying we should have got a 6 at the start is not a solution to the current problem no matter that it was right.

Having said all that. Other teams are also having up and down games. I'm not saying we will win the GF but top spot is not impossible.

Now would be a good time to announce a signing.
