I think that is the 7th game this season we have lost by 6 points or less, and there have been a few others where we've lost by 8 or 10. Its almost like we need to find ourselves an experienced half back who knows how to manage tight games .

When Myler came in we were an absolute shambles. I know this year has been bad, but we've competed in most games despite not winning many of them. 2024, when he arrived, was one of the worst teams that Super League has ever seen. We would have finished a distant last place if not for a London team with a squad that would have struggled in the championship. It wasn't just on field either. Training was by all accounts a waste of time. We had a physio team made up essentially of Uni students. Facilities weren't up to scratch. We had been underfunded for a long time. There's no doubt he's made mistakes, but big changes have happened off field, and whether or not you think players like Cherry-Evans are the sort of players we should be signing, you can't doubt the ambition. It's not the actions of a club just taking the ###### out of the fans. I'm not happy about this year and the way we've been left with an out of his depth assistant in charge for so long, but its water under the bridge now. We just have to look forward to what's happening next year, and so far what's happening is looking largely positive.

But wholesale changes are happening. Whether they will turn out to be right changes remains to be seen, but Myler and the owners aren't just sitting on their hands and accepting our bad results. So again, what would you hope to achieve with a boycott?

You make it sound like bringing in Daly Cherry-Evans is the only thing that's happening. He will be one of around 7 or 8 new signings. There's also a new coach, new assistant coach and 3 new additions to the strength and conditioning team.

And what do you suggest be done at this late stage? We don't have a coach, and half the playing squad are either not good enough, or don't care because they are going at the end of the year anyway. In most cases it's both. Yeah I'm annoyed at how this season has essentially been thrown down the pan, but its not like the owners aren't acting is it? 2027 will see pretty much a brand new coaching and backroom staff, and huge changes to the playing roster. What would you expect to be achieved by boycotting that isn't happening already?

That's game over. We don't have another try in us. Never deserved anything from the game tbf.

I've seen Minchella linked with them too. That would have to be the grubbiest back row ever assembled.

Asiata will be 13 (if they get him on the field), and whilst Pryce may well be playing a different position he's not new to the team and there isn't a massive difference between 1 and 6 (in attack at least). But yes it will take a lot of gelling. Interesting point about Asiata, we have overhauled our S&C team for next year, and one of the guys we've brought in specialises in hamstrings. Apparently Asiata has flat feet, and this guy reckons that has been a big contributing factor in his ongoing problems, so he is now wearing custom insoles and boots to alleviate it. Whether it works remains to be seen, but fingers crossed.

We are all expecting Pryce to play 6 actually, although that's just an assumption, no one from the club has said that, but Pryce at 6 has been the talk since long before the DCE announcement. I think if we were to make no more signings, it would be Moy at FB and Hodgson at centre. But apparently we have a centre coming in, which I imagine would mean Hodgson at FB.

Unlike all the other players playing for nothing but the love of the game.

So far, Bailey Hodgson, Alrix Da Costa, Isaac Liu and Daly Cherry-Evans signed for next year. Da Costa isn't overly exciting (although he's an upgrade on Bourouh), but the other 3 are quality additions. A couple more of that standard at centre and prop and it's starting to look like a handy team. We have also been told that Denive Balmforth will be back and is very much in McNamara's plans.

Yes I stand corrected on that. It doesn't change anything in the general sentiment of my post though. He's a great leader whether he's captaining or not.

A boost that the club really needed. Really looking forward to seeing him in black and white.

Hull KR vs the clock is going to be a far closer battle than Hull KR v Catalans.

I can't believe how bad Catalans are. I thought Cartwright going there would at least instill a bit of steel of desire but they look like they couldn't care less. I was already fairly confident that Hull had done the right thing and recent weeks have confirmed that for me.
