I would take Mcrae back anytime, at least we had some attacking flair during his reign, and it was his youth policy that led to our success over the last few years.

Black&White/red&white, its becoming increasingly difficult to tell the two boards apart.
FWIW, at least your team showed some balls in the second half (admittedly whilst still being totally outclassed by the rampant Saints). If we'd had the misfortune to come up against them it may have ended up in an 80pt margin.
See you all at the KC in July for the "Cup Final", because let's face it, its all we have to look forward to this season

sadly its true, the downside of franchising is there is not even the fear (and therefore excitement) of relegation. Currently I don't care if we finish 6th, 8th or bottom...we won't win a playoff game anyway.
you could have created a 'Best of Hull' team from both Hull teams this weekend and they still woulden't have won...too many average players on both teams who coulden't care less. And two coaches looking more and more out of their depth as the weeks go by.

We are not good enough for a top 8 place, I think the likes of Salford, Cas, Crusaders will be seeing a more than 50% chance of a victory against us. I have said we have no decent game plans for a long time and it shows, we rely on everything through Dobbo and the players around him are at best 'reasonable' squad players and would not get in the majority of SL sides.
Morgan built this team and he now needs to stand up and be counted, he his light years behind recent Aussie coaches who only came over here from assistants jobs, like McGuire and Brown, they out think him and he hasn't got a clue how to arrest a defecit at half time.
What is happening with Briscoe, he is awful just lately and to be honest I would look at getting shut of Webster, I'anson, Murrell, Fisher, Vella, Wheeldon and a few more as well, even Newton looks as though he couldn't give a toss.
I think its time for a change now, we have to do something as the club needs to progress to attract more support through the gates, at this rate we will be lucky to attract 6,000 .
Lets get shut of the rubbish in the squad and use the money to bring in two top class players for next season and bring in a some of the youngsters we keep hearing about, Saints have Eastmond, Wire have Myler so lets see what ours can do.
Its up to you now Hudgell, have the bottle to make changes or we will be looking at a bottom 4 finish at best.

If you do this, make sure you don't announce it before the season's over. Announcing signings early when you're having a poor season is "selling the fans short" according to Neil Hudgell in his programme notes.

I felt right sorry for Shaun Briscoe when he was interviewed after the match (brave of him, I think). At the end after saying they were in a rut and that they just had to keep working hard, he said he felt sorry for the fans who had travelled up to Scotland, that they had let the fans down and the coach down, and he apologised to the fans for their poor performance. He looked really upset.

Sad to say, but I think it maybe is time to look for a change. I think Morgan is a great coach but something is not working. If I had my choice I would love to see Paul Cullen brought in. He would add greatly to the coaching staff in my opinion.

He must have left it in Hull then cos it's never been seen in Salford.
