id like to know in our history,wether we ve ever failed to score in 2 consecutive home games against the dobbins?

Good to have a perspective from outside the city of Hull bubble and yes we are light years from that 2007 playoff game which I remember was a very high quality game.

Granted the quality of players Smith is working with isn't the highest we've had but for me that isn't the issue, its the lack of yet again not seeing any cohesion, organisation or discipline out on the field.



Last night we just looked an absolute mess and as if they'd not had any pre season at all, whilst yes we faced some adversity that just doesn't account or excuse yet another shambles that we saw last night.

I’m sick of him whinging about the Covid loan, he’s the only owner who’s constantly talking about it.



9000 passes

Record sponsorship

Record shirt deal

£1+ million merchandise

Super league money

Apparently highest ever corporate turnover last night

20k+ crowd last night



Yet we churn out that squad, it’s simply not good enough.

How much was this covid loan?



The lack of investment is killing us off, no way are we at cap. Never mind not having 3 marquee players.



Who planned our current halfback situation as its shambolic, just not good enough, whoevers decided to throw money at nu brown been out halfback needs sacking



Whats the plan? For me Brown has to go to hooker straight away, with Balmforth as bench backup.



Cators made of biscuits, lets play Staveley at loose forward, who has creativity and good size.



The team jus has so many square pegs in round holes and it shows. We need Trueman back asap, and we need to learn to catch a ball and play with controlled aggression.



Il say it again play Severs or Jebson at second row and let them develop and move Sao/Ashworth back into the props.



Need to blood some youth in the correct positions.



Im intrigued by our accounts, pass and mercandise sales are really good, we hear of record breaking sponsers, how bigs this covid loan?



Is Pearson bleeding us abit and pleading poverty? Starting to wonder

Agree 1m%

Our basic catch and pass was appalling, whoever is coaching the attack, needs to seriously improve.

Who is the attacking coach? Grix? I didn't actually see him at the game last night, could only see Gene, Smith and Cummins

Undoubtably Trueman should improve us but I don't think it'll make a massive difference in terms of results. He is more of a 6 than a playmaker.



We had enough time to replace Clifford but failed to do so and have ended up with a hooker at half back. Like you say square pegs in round holes. Plus with Trueman's injury record there's the chance he'll break down again.

He knew what was coming and pulled a sickie.

Sure I saw him pitch side in a yellow top but could have been mistaken

Losing players to suspension and injury this is Dan Tomlinson's line up against Warrington;



Starting XIII: Jack Walker; Darnell McIntosh, Cam Scott, Davy Litten, Lewis Martin; Tex Hoy, Fa'amanu Brown; Jack Brown, Morgan Smith, Jack Ashworth; Jayden Okunbor, Jordan Lane; Nick Staveley.



Interchange: Will Gardiner, Zach Jebson, Denive Balmforth, Matty Laidlaw

Grix was definitely there. He was running messages to the players. Gene was next to Smith

The last Hull player to score a try at home against Rovers was Luke Gale in 2022 and the last to kick a goal at home to them was Marc Sneyd in 2021.

That's depressing reading so early on into the season. We'll get pumped

We’d have got pumped with our first team to be fair

Said last night after sat watching again with head in hands in disbelief at what I was seeing that I fear we will replicate that of Wakefield last year.



Any slight optimism of chink of hope I harboured for this season was rapidly dispatched before halftime.

I hope we stick with Smith until he has totally revamped our squad. Sacking him before the end of the season would be counter productive in my opinion.

The only national Managers I would replace Smith , is Wane, McNamara or Rowley, I wouldn't trust the hierarchy to srlect another unproven Manager from the NRL.

London at home in two weeks with potential suspensions and injuries, I’m not even confident about that.

It would be typical of Hull to sign a New Zealand international hooker but have him as our fourth or fifth choice in that position.

Just wish the club would be honest, explain there thought process that this is a 3/4 year rebuild. We all know that we won't win anything for the next few years, I just want to know there is a long term plan in place.



No better coach to do a rebuild, he manged it at Hudds, Leeds, Warrington and started it at Rovers.

Maybe Jake Connor will have a fall out with Watson and he can come back (before round 5) and save our season....

Agree, but in sport patience is in short supply. If we haven't made any improvement however marginal he will have to go. In fact I suspect he will fall on his sword rather than wait for the inevitable.

He has a house on Kingswood. Well that was the rumour anyway

Can't believe one match in and some are saying Smith job could be in danger. Yes last year was crap and certainly not the result we wanted. But he said from day 1 it's gonna be a long job. Jeez some would have us change the coach every 6 months. Madness
