Look on the Brightside. If Leeds are as good a team as they think they are and they beat Hull KR by more than 42 points. We are off the bottom.

Re: Hull fc : Fri Jul 12, 2019 9:59 am  

First half was the worst I've seen us play all season.
Much better effort in the second but the game was pretty much already lost - lack of strength in depth exposed - and still Mr Hughes keeps his chequebook in his pocket.

Pleased to see Big Sadiq get MOTM award - but I was half expecting Sky to give it to Dan Hindmarsh as yet AGAIN the Sky commentary team seem unable to distinguish between our two young black forwards. Apart from the fact that the guys don't look anything like each other, they helpfully have a different number AND their names printed on their shirts! At best it is lazy and at worst ..... no don't even go there.

I'll have to go against everything I hold dear and cheer on the Rhinos tonight.

At he risk of stirring NB I thought the ref was pretty poor last night, first half especially.

Missed forward passes ( both sides) and gave forward passes that weren't. I thought he missed Dixon being checked ( possibly by Connor) as he tried to chase his kick through to the in goal area, but the biggest howler was that he missed Westerman losing control of the ball in a tackle and instead gave it as a Hull penalty for a ball steal. Score was either 12-0 or 18-0 at the time, and FC went and scored a try in the following set of tackles. Might not have made much difference to the overall score but .......

I wonder if its getting to the point that the cheque book is well and truly closed! he is getting no younger, and perhaps feels he can't afford to throw more money away! as far as we know there is no one coming through who interested in taking over? its been a real up and down journey since the first Fulham match against Wigan which I will never forget, but now I worry, even some of my fight is draining away.

Agree with you about the ref, seems to sum him up, his game last week was the same, seems to have authority, but really he is wet and weak! and why we have the men on the touch lines these days is a joke, as they do little, its become a joke why they feel they need to enter the pitch on every tackle then do nothing?

Tjs coming onto the field to reinforce the move call is an Australian thing which has come in
And what do you expect them to do?
As for knock on or RIP agree it was a mistake, that was actually probably a touch judge call.
Not sure what else you think the touch judges can do, they only advise apart from 2 things

Great to see syd get MOM thought the local lads showed their worth overall. Rob Butler impresses me more each time he plays.
Thought dixon actually did ok at full back, the first try was straight lack of communication though, it was dixons ball!

I did wonder why Meadows wasn't given a game last night in the halves, until I found out he's been given a 4 match ban for verbally abusing a ref while playing for Sheffield..
So from looking at the squad Danny wards going to have to stick with Cunningham Abdull partnership.
I noticed Davis didn't come back on the pitch so is it worth the club looking for a loanee hooker from somewhere. Yes I know we need some more players in other areas but you can't expect fozzard to do 90 minutes because I noticed in the second half as he got tired it became a bit of a penalty machine we need someone with a bit of experience to come on and help..

You’re right, Foz looked knackered by halfway through the second half

How bloody frustrating are this team? First half looked like a mid table championship team.
Second half they play like a team that should be challenging for a decent spot in SL.
How can theh be so different in two halves of the same game.

Playing Hull mate. Jekyll and Hyde. Frustrates the hell out of us supporters.
