Im fickle!!!

I did'nt expect a win last night either,i was hoping for a surprise though.

What i do expect of a team of 17 full time professional rugby league players is the ability to catch a ball,tackle,back up the player with the ball,and above all show some bloody pride in that shirt on your back.

I certainly do not expect to be nilled at home by anyone regardless of whether we have a full team out or not.

All teams get injuries,and i do think we have had more than most, but our club has used this as a crutch for the past two and a half seasons.

For me this is waring a bit thin now and after last night i have come to the conclusion,ok its taken me a bit longer than some on here,that are squad/back up players are way short of super league top eight standard.

I'd love to see how the likes of Man United and other clubs of THAT calibre in sport would cope with an injury list like the one we seem to be burdoned with over the last few years?

It really does baffle me how some of you can't see this. You dont seem to grasp the SIMPLE FACT that a team is weakened when its KEY PLAYERS get injured. Its not rocket science..but just for you,,,I'll simplify it.

Ready?



Here goes.......



Try to immagine a gladiator going into the arena armed with a handbag and some rude words to shout....Got that image?

OK...thats basicaly what we're dealing with. His main stabbing weapons are missing...but if he hits hard enough with his handbag (maybe inserts a brick or two) and doesnt have a sore throat...he might get lucky.

See.....its easy......No Team......slim chance......please try to let that sink in eh?

How many KEY PLAYERS were missing at Wigan in March,when we conceded more points, than last night??



When was the last time we beat a side by 30 points?

Totally agree with what you put, i thought we would have a good score put past us with the team we had out and especially against wigan who are by far the best team in super league this year. too many people on here cant accept some honist fair views and like always resort to grammer.

no you are right hull arnt the only club, bradford for instance have and are really struggling, i never expected to get nilled but expected wigan to have a good run out on us

Yea but look at the strength in depth they have compared to hull

All very good. How do you explaing the hammering at the DW earlier in the season with a full strength team?

The hammering was by the far better team, the best team in the comp by far.

Yet there are teams who compete with them.



And his post was stating things would be different if we'd had teh players in last night who were in teh previous match

Im not so sure hull would have won but with longy, ogre and fitz on the pitch would have been far closer, and if we had them back against rovers hull would have put alot more past the dobbins. leeds were the same had major injuries and struggled there way through the first half of the season. we have no strength in depth witch is why we struggle when we have a few injuries. if hull had 2 quality half backs hull would be a very good team, but unfortunately we have to grind wins due to the lack of leardership and control on the pitch ( part from when longy is on we atleast have a bit of organisation).

Do you really believe all that or are you just toeing the party line?
