We will have wasted our time watching yes, but the club wont have wasted anything as the new signings will have already dragged season passes back up along with shirt sales etc so their money is already in the bag for another season. The season after that will be a new coach,new beginning and again we will all jump on board the spin machine !!!
I think the board and team will stand in formation so that from above they represent the outline of a small edam cheese, execute every fourth person in Anlaby, paint themselves yellow and sing ging gang goolie whilst hopping on one leg, nodding their heads back and forth with their large pointy blue hats with bells on the end ringing out the tune to Neighbours.

Hope its not the case though
Well, on the one hand there hasn't been an increase for a year or two, so they could justify an inflationary rise, but on the other we are in a downturn (I refuse to call it a recession, there were plenty of brand new TV's being loaded up when I was in Chesterfield yesterday!).
No doubt they'll do it in such a cack handed way that even a positive move will look bad.

Do you know how much organisation, teamwork and effort that would take? They can’t work out how to ship the ball to a kicker on the last tackle FFS

No - if you remember - when they do anything well it's nothing to do with Agar - it's off the cuff.

Without Carvell our pack has no go-forward, so we're always playing on the back foot. He was an absolutely crucial member of the squad, reflected in the efforts we went to to keep him. His absence was always going to be massive. On top of that we have no halfbacks to speak of. You say we hardly saw Dykes, and that's correct. No coincidence then that we only ever performed when we did see him. Thorman is worse than Dykes playing the odd game, as he's crap all the time. And Horne might as well be injured again for all the impact he's having.
There is absolutely no way that this squad is anywhere near competing with 3rd place.
Wakey have had some disasters this season, but have a pack with more go-forward and more creativity in the halves. This, coupled with an excellent team spirit and Kear's knack of getting teams to play better than the sum of their parts, is what's got them where they are.
I'm not suggesting that Agar shouldn't have done better. In fact I've specifically stated that he should. But some people are massively overestimating the potential of our current squad IMO.
What sort of coach plays 5 drives and a kick with a weak pack and no decent kickers in the team?

What do you want them to do? Throw the ball around in our own 20 minutes on the first tackle? Our team is crap. The kicker is poor so when he kicks it straight down the throat of the opposition and he gets to the 40 metre line then it just allows them to drive it up and put us right on our line thus putting pressure on us to get out of our own half with the props who are also poor. That coupled with our awful ball retention and it's no wonder we are where we are.

Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really!
SPOT ON!

Try something different from what clearly does not work. Even if it fails, at least it's different.
Is it true that Richard Agar's favorite movie of all time is Groundhog Day or does he just generally like the same boring s**t day after day, season after season?
