Yup, both on the money.
Aggression has departed on holiday from the KCOM.
Our new NRL forwards coming in will hopefully bring us some nastiness.

To try and stop the rather vitriolic exchanges I will try and summarise what's happened so we can all move forward:
1. We lost in very disappointing fashion on Friday
2. Some posters said they felt at their lowest ebb in decades (let's call them Group A)
3. Some other posters felt this was surprising/daft in the context of other events/tenures during this time - including possible extinction. (Group B - but mainly me I guess)
4. Group A then come back with we should be doing much better, we're a big club
5. Group B then say well technically we're not as big as we'd like to think we are (Dean Friedman style) based on objective financial measures and Super League history (where there's a very strong correlation), so maybe there's a disconnect between expectation and realism. Not to say aspirations should be dialed down, just expectations may need to be better managed.
6. Group B gets accused of (I kid you not) attacks, insults, being vomit-inducing, crazy, boring, a fool, garbage, persecuting, self-righteous, insulting, needing banning, needs to get a life...there are a lot more but you get the gist.

Perhaps to sort all this out a list of these attacks and insults I've been made can be set out, so I can address each in turn and apologise as required - genuinely. I really don't think that I've given out anything like the rather nasty personal attacks made to me in 6 above, but if we want to conclude this slightly unsavoury dialogue let's have the specifics. I won't ask for the reciprocation, but I notice one of the main protagonists has already deleted his most extreme/personal post yesterday, so I will take that as a token of regret.

Chris71, I apologise for posting a laughing emoji when you posted that this was your lowest point for 40 years. You are right, I shouldn't assume I know what others are feeling and their own experiences.

I do hope so. I haven't seen the interview with Ma'u yet in RL World I think but he will help - certainly coming with a reputation. As said already I think Satae looks the part too and Jones should bring plenty. Although still squad is still a prop short for me.

We can look forward to more bore fest and no attack, yay!

it wasn't meant to be an insult. I just hope for all fans we show some fight and maybe get a result at cas. Not holding my breath though.

Hopefully the old leader of the Junior Don Kings will be an aggression accelerant for 2020.

I think this is a bit disingenuous personally. We've scored some fantastic tries this year though Naulago for example and Griffin as a line breaking centre will likely win POTY. It's not like our tries are mainly bargeovers. One of our key challenges has been the availability, and even then the fitness, of Kelly whom we rely on probably too much to conjure up something from nothing. This issue needs resolving in the off season.

Well in either blind loyalty or stupidity I'll be there Thursday.
Knowing us we'll come away with a stunning victory

You're on linguistic fire this morning

Of course you do, you clearly see different games to the rest of us, SL in general is poor, and Hull are about as boring as it gets.
