No. I never want the team I support to lose. Whatever the circumstances.

Me neither…just thought I’d put it out there to gauge fans opinions.

If Smith had any integrity he would have resigned after the Leigh game.
I keep saying what has he done to enhance the team on the field since he has been here?
Simple answer is nothing
Still believe If you has put any coach in charge from the lower divisions they could not have done a worse job than Smith

Isn't Tony plan obvious?

Step 1: Have a clear out of your top earners
Step 2: sign some duds on the cheap
Step 3: success

It's just the same old diatribe from him. It sickens me reading it. I just want him gone.
He's had a relatively successful coaching career which inevitably will be soured by his Hull experience.
Pearson and Smith surely must know how the fans are feeling.

Please put us out of our misery.
I'd like Smith to resign and for Pearson to actually come out and engage with the fans and be honest with us over this.

You would think a man of Smiths experience and standing in the game would take a step back and recognise it’s time to do the decent thing if he’s having pops at the fans in the local rag. Beggars belief really.






All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason.

We have won 2 of our last 14 competitive matches, which were Wakefield and London at home.

We haven't won a game outside of Hull since June 2023 (which if you're going to be picky was a neutral venue).

Conceded an average of 35 points a match so far this season, scoring an average of just 10 points a game in the process (almost half of which came in one game vs London)

We haven't even scored the first try in a match since Huddersfield at home in August 2023.

And yet he even dares to question to Loyalty of supporters? Any ounce of respect I had for the bloke has been lost in that ridiculous comment.

This just isn't something that is new, its been happening for years even prior to the Cup wins as the teams we had in 2016/2017 were the major factor in those wins due to the leadership within the playing squad as opposed to the coaching team, all the cup wins did was paper over the cracks.

The club have created a total disconnect with its fan base I honestly do not see the club coming back from this for a long long time unless some major changes take place within the club from top to bottom.


As time passes by and when I look back to 2016/17, particularly the cup wins, the more I am of the opinion that the real architect of the Wembley triumphs (and our generally high standard of play at that time) was Gareth Ellis. His mere presence and stature on the field took an, admittedly good side, up to a different level, a level where we looked like winners and not merely wanna-be's.

Quite obviously we have no-one of that stature right now, but I remember the difference between our performance level from when Ellis was on the field and when he wasn't. It is a very rare commodity in team sports today where one man can galvanise those around him to raise their game an extra ten percent.

The lack of a Gareth Ellis, however, still doesn't excuse all of the shortcomings surrounding the club that we are witnessing today.






I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.

Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.

I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.

The fans are the main constant of any club.

Players, Coaches and Owners come and go, but it’s normally just the fans (quite often a family heredity thing too) who remain when all the above move on.
