Despite a good dig yesterday it looks like our season is over by June

What do we do ? Can't keep saying "next season" all the time

Likes of Clifford hoy taylor litten Trueman we can build around

But Likes of fash cator lane give everything but are too small and don't put any fear into top teams like Ellis minchello manu did

Cator and Lane are too small and need to be replaced imo. Cator a decent squad player but we need two rough arsed south sea islanders or the like in the back row imo. Fash not great going forward yesterday but tackles like a man twice his size and put Walmsley on his booty yesterday with a big tackle

This season almost every Hull FC knew and accepted this was very much a transitional season given the obstacles of the contracts and salary cap restrictions. The discussions on here before the season started was almost every one agreeing that a transitional season would be ok and acceptable as long as there where signs of genuine improvement is the way we played and performances.
I don’t think there is much argument that since TS has come in despite an indifferent start the club is most definitely improving in just about every aspect and real changes are and have been made.
Anyone who seriously thought we would do anything to put up a serious challenge is either the greatest optimist or delusional.
Whilst any real chance to win any silverware went yesterday the season is far from over as the improvements are there to build on as we continue improving to the end of the season.
Hopefully with a decent chance of competing next season with some good recruitment for 2024.






I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Theres still a chance for the 6th position in think . I will be interesting to see how well we go second half of the season after the diabolical collapses of the last couple
Also we still would like to see some of the young fringe players given a go .
Still a bit to squeeze out of this season i hope .

7 home games left 5 away, 2 or 3 of those away gamed winnable, apart from saints at home on Thursday, 5 or 6 home wins is minimum, could give us an extra 16-18 points


Providing the squad stays fit and no more daft bans!

Brad Fash is 5ft 10.

Paul Gallen is 5ft 10.

Are you seriously telling me that you wouldn't have had Paul Gallen playing for Hull FC simply because he was too small?

Gallen was one of the best forwards in the world

Fash isn't even our best forward, he's 27 aswell btw not a youngster anymore

Without taylor and satae our pack lacks any power

Fash Lane and cator all 5ft 10 or under it does make a huge difference

You need players like Fash in your squad, cheap works hard and is rarely injured. Same with Cator (apart from injuries).

We need to sign more quality and not waste quota spots so these are guaranteed placed in the 17.

Yep, we'll finish around 10th, out of the cup, low risk of relegation, low chance of making the playoffs, hopefully the rebuild starts to gain pace in the next few months and we've actually got something to look forward to next season

What an unusual subject to start a discussion on knowing that we were never ever going to challenge this year. I feel like some people have to purposely display their morose outlook on everything to prove that they’re a ‘been there and seen it all’ FC fan. Dwelling on negativity does no good. Since the home fans have simply switched to appreciating the effort the boys have put in, the atmosphere at the MKM has been so much better. Positivity breeds positivity. Let’s just appreciate the small gains we’re making.
