  1. Discuss the SL game between St Helens and Wigan Warriors here without any inferences that the officials are anything but impartial please.
  2. Discuss the SL game between Hull Kingston Rovers and Hull FC here without any inferences that the officials are anything but impartial please.
  3. Hit by a massive cargo ship and collapses in its entirety. Astonishing footage, how can a bridge over a mile and a half long collapse as quickly as that? Had it happened during rush hour there could have been hundreds of fatalities. As it is, there were still vehicles on it at the time and a rescue operation is underway.
  4. What happened the last time that took place? (Desperate times and all that!)
  5. Oooh, I don't know, I reckon Hull KR have an ouside chance. (More of a chance than Hull FC, before Worzel gets his jibe in)
  6. St Helens v Warrington Wolves Hull KR v Leigh Leopards Catalans Dragons v Huddersfield Giants Castleford Tigers v Wigan Warriors
  7. Hull FC received no bans, no fines...in fact, not a sausage. That is all.
  8. I'm guessing the post you quoted was just a fishing effort. To be fair, Hull FC have bloodied a fair few promising young kids over the last few years but the club don't seem to be very patient with them and they end up being sent "on loan" to other clubs for "match game time", never to return. I think @Lowedesert will know more about this than me but lads like Liam Harris who scored on his debut v Hull KR at MW in Newcastle but then was sent to York if memory serves and is doing rather well for them some years later. Clubs don't always get it correct, Harris may have struggled in SL but unless you have a time machine it must be difficult to assess how good a young kid will be sometimes. Having said that, Saints and Wigan do indeed appear to have a time machine. Their ability to bring up young kids and mould them into "one in a generation" players like Jack Welsby is remarkable. But, of course, given the option of signing and playing for those two clubs who are consistently successful is always going to be more attractive to youngsters coming through and perhaps they put more effort in because of it.
  9. I'm not willing to condemn Tony Smith yet, he's never coached a Hull FC team before and I've no idea how long it might take to implement his methods. And if you look at the players we had last season compared to this, the heart has been ripped out of the team. An ex player scoring four tries against us yesterday is enough evidence of that. What really galls me is the towel being thrown in by a large number of the players resulting in the blow out scores we're seeing. The lack of confidence, if it hasn't already spread, soon will do and whatever Smith's methods, that will be a proverbial mountain to climb to remove that and start winning again.
