Does anyone remember last year?
Do you? The awful start? Injury problems? Poor results?
Do you remember saying Sharpe wasnt good enough?
Do you remember saying Kear wasnt good enough?
Do you remember saying McRae wasnt good enough?
So (and i say this as a Hull fan), we've had one of the best starts in our history. We've played some good rugby, we've played some crap. But still a good start.
SO WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM................!
Do you want FC to be the Harlem Globetrotters of Rugby?
Do you want FC to play entertaining Rugby all the bloody time?
Or do you want them to win? Because Hull havent got the types of player to set the game alight?
Hull are a workmanlike team, they grind down the oppo and grind out a win. Every coach has been dealt this hand and every coach has tailored the game plan and tactic to accomodate this.
You could of course be like Huddersfield, play expansive, daring Rugby and lose each week, run it on the 6th and hope.
Or you could be Hull.
Choice is yours - but as fans, you have to recognise the players we have, the type of game capable with these players, and more importantly, whether you want to be entertained, or win?
All I want is 100% effort every game.No team is going to win every game they play,no matter who they are.
Personally I think this season our performances are far better than at the same stage for last year.We have a new halfback partnership that will probably need half the season playing together to start giving us the improvements we need consistently.
SL as a whole with be a far more even comp this year and that is only good for the game and us spectators.
It will be a interesting season for sure and as long as we are competing for the top 8 come the end of the season I will be happy.Preferably a top 4 spot but lets be realistic we finished 11th last year so top 8 would be a improvement.

You want to see a team with problems? Wait until you have seen us (Salford) this weekend - you'll soon realise you may have a couple of temporary lapses in form this year but no more than that!
The only perspective i need is that we are a better team than our last 2 results. Last season is irrelevant, as is any other club in the league to us. At the end of the day you play what is put in front of you, and we've lost 2 winable games that would have left us top due to poor performances. I dont mind losing if we play well.

So the season we got to Grand Final with some frankly unconvincing, brutal, base level scraps but we still won....................you were unhappy?
Cos i doubt that very much.
The team will have peeks and troughs. Thats sport - and if as fans you cant realise that, then youre a bunch of blinkered idiots!
I tell you what........here's some persepctive.
You could be a Bulls or a Wolves fan!
Life is a lot worse when your heading in the wrong direction.
Amazingly...........AMAZINGLY..........(and this may come as a complete shock to some of you people).......but there are 13 other teams in this league doing their hardest too............if you think we're gonna have it our way, all the time.............youre sadly mistaken and need to go back to playing your silly computer games.
