The sooner your club stops feeling sorry for itself and ceases with the ready made excuses before a ball is kicked the sooner you might win a game.
Radford's laughable we had both halves sat in the stands line (sure Mr Sneyd will have liked that one)
Sky's consistant injury hit Hull FC moniker (you'll have it on the club badge soon)
Most of your fans convincing yourselves we were at full full strength
Scraping for positives from what was a pretty poor defeat

We were miles off the pace, we have been in preseason and looked like what we were, at very best a team that might scrape 6th, with no full back or hooker and lacking a couple of props. We need game time together and we might improve

I was astounded we won a game playing so poorly but I'm more astounding the majority of your lot think that was a good showing from Hull.

Thursday will be a yard sick against a team missing there key halfback, or full strength as you lot will n doubt think.

Sneyd was a doubt for the game, have missed over 6 months with ops on both knees, so "2 halfbacks in the stands" was hardly an exaggeration.

One poster said you were at full strength and a couple more agreed, hardy "Most of your fans convincing yourselves we were at full full strength".

"Cas team missing there key halfback" - I guess Kelly doesn't count.

Re: So, Friday predictions against KR? : Mon Feb 04, 2019 4:41 pm  

You(FC) Had two half backs missing.We (KR) had our first choice hooker and full back missing...Both teams had other options unavailable. Most FC players had played together before, we had five players who had never played a first grade game together. FC, according to your supporters played well, Rovers played very average and will probably improve. FC LOST, ROVERS WON. end of.
Make of that what you will.

Re: So, Friday predictions against KR? : Mon Feb 04, 2019 4:48 pm  

…. At this rate, we'll soon have the full set - no wonder there is so much antagonism between supporters.

Radford saying his x factor players were sat in the stands was a reference to a lack of our creativity.

Cas have played an entire season without Gale already and still finished 4th so beating them would be one hell of a result.

We played well is something alot of fans are saying because they expected the worse and we probably should of won, we didn't and I credit Rovers defence for two super human efforts in defence to stop certain tries.

I also take exception to the way he made out we played to our best and couldn't beat Rovers at there poorest. I dont think anyone sees our performance as our top gear nor was it Rovers best either before you jump down my throat. I would hazard a guess we will certainly throw alot more at teams with our x factor stars on the field.

When all is done and dusted we lost and you won, however I saw some encouraging signs from my team and also some bad ones. But the arrogance from some Rovers fans making out you beat us in first gear is totally over the top and incorrect.

I maybe worded it a bit provocatively but I'll try explain.

Radfords post match interview he stated he had both halves sat in the stand (not xfactor players), he didn't he had his first choice and best half on the pitch.

Cas playing without Gale for half a season is irrelevant, they've had preseason thinking he's playing and are now having to adapt, you already said you had Sneyd out most of last year. good teams have players out and still win

If it came across that I thought you played to your best or I'm being arrogant your well wide of the mark, our display worried me, I thought we were miles off it and I thought Hull were equally poor.

The point I'm trying to make is that I think there is a culture of excuse that has been built up in your club, sky constantly go on about it, Radford and the HDM are constantly more worried about who's not playing than who are and it now seems even the fans have bought into it. Radofrd has used the card that the structure lead to the 11 unbeaten at the end of last year, I think it was more the drilling in of how hard done to you were with injuries when in reality a hell of a lot of clubs where in the same boat.
