That is very impressive tbf I've also just been reading that Hull FC have surpassed 6,000, which, all things considered, is excellent at this stage.

I'm sure they did. But I'm curious how they break it down.

I'm curious to see the breakdown for Hull. We knew our on field performance would probably see us dip just below the A grade mark, but for us to be half a mark below suggests we have gone backwards in other areas too.

Seen a table with Wakefield and Cas listed as A grade and Hull down to a B. Don't know if it's genuine though. Hull absolutely deserve to drop, but quite what has happened at Wakefield and Castleford to justify an A grade I have no idea.

It's not Warrington's year.

The press release doesn't really make it clear one way or another, but the use of the word "consultant" should have been a clue. I heard a few weeks ago that Cartwright was bringing a S&C expert across with him for a few weeks in pre season, so I suppose I read the press release kind of already knowing it wasn't a full time appointment. I realise that if you hadn't already heard that then you might have misunderstood it. Anyway, it's still a good appointment whether he's here full time or not. It's not like he's going to head of S&C and working remotely. He is just a consultant for the full time guys to confer with. The more good people we have on the backroom staff the better, whatever capacity they are working in.

It was reported wrongly at the time. It was announced as 9700 in the ground, but reported as 5700 in the press.

I shouldn't tempt fate, because I know just how bad we are, but surely even we can't lose by more than 50 against a Catalans team with nothing to play for. Can we?

I didn't realise that part. Yes that makes it seem a whole lot stranger.

There are a few similar examples. I saw The Killers in Falkirk a couple of years ago. A much smaller town and a worse stadium than CP. I probably wouldn't pay to see Coldplay if I'm honest, but there's no doubt it's a massive coup for HKR and the city in general.

It will be more fun if he takes the RFL to court over something he agreed to and Leigh get a big points deduction for bringing the game in to disrepute.

What legal basis could there possibly be for relegating Hull? The system was voted on before this season began. Its hilarious that months and months later he is still so upset about the Asiata signing. Knock yourself out Derek, take it to court, it's your own money you are wasting. I cant wait until next week when he needs Hull to beat Catalans for Leigh to make the playoffs, and we lose 74-0. He might actually explode.

With approximately 10 minutes of the Hudds v Wire game and the Catalans v London game still to come, the current aggregate score of the winners v losers is 216-8. Two teams have already been nilled, and Huddersfield have got 10 minutes to avoid making that 3. Surely that's the most one sided set of games we have ever seen?

There are plenty of things you can criticise us for, and I dont like the Sezer signing either, but your argument doesnt make a jot of sense. You do realise there are 8 academy players in this team? And I don't mean players that have come through the academy, I mean they literally are eligible for the academy now. So what is your suggestion? Just keep playing this same team next year and keep getting thrashed? These kids need experience around them and that's what Myler and Cartwright are trying to do. You might not think those signings are good enough, but nothing is being done at the expense of youth and development. Our whole ethos is building around the youth.
