Thur 15th Feb: SL: Hull FC v Hull KR KO 8pm (Sky)

[northamptoncougar]

You got to start asking questions about Smith, KR we’re a rabble when he left, FC we’re a rabble last season, where’s the direction with him?

Anyone able to parse how good KR are from that half?

I'm finding it hard to judge because Hull have been all over the place.

It’s tough as they made a fair few errors at times and the opposition have been woeful.

They’ve been the better team for sure and will be looking to put down a marker in the second half if they can.

But I imagine any of the other playoff contenders would rip FC to shreds on this form.

Hull look absolutely woeful, it usually takes them 4 or 5 games into a season though....

....to become this bad.

In entirely unconnected news, did you see how good the Bulldogs looked earlier today in their pre-season match?

No. I forgot to watch.

It seems Hull are carrying on from last term, common denominator Mr Smith?

Hull are genuinely playing like 13 (12) blokes who've never met before.

How many for Lewis who always seems to escalate the push and shove? Unnecessary scragging Okunbor to the ground after he’d knocked on too. He’s a talented but horrible little bar steward.

Just imagine if Andy Gregory was playing these days with you watching? 

[bratman]

It is good to have rugby back, and feels more exciting with all the changes happening. Feels like progress

If that Pele is going to have a lot of time on his hands and the government is forcing us into conscription, he can go off and do a tour of duty. He looks and seems an animal, would not want to accidentally block his car in on the driveway

 No different from last season then?

Is it 1984 again?

[wakeyranger]

Also IMO FC's back 3 are too small. Getting pushed back nearly every kick return.

It's a fair point you've got. There's far too much grubb in his game and he was right on the line in that malaise.

He's a fine player but an absolute ßhitehawk at times.

Wish it was.

[meast]

Anyone else struggling to listen to Dave Woods without Nobby and Jiffy piping up too

[MZH]

I'll say it for the second time. Hiku isn't a FB

[tiffers]

For all the stick the Hull FC new forwards are getting Peta Hiku has hardly had the debut of dreams either...

[dkw]

So much dropped ball by Hull, shocking ball discipline. 

[MZH]

You couldn't make this many unforced errors if you tried. Woeful.

I think you're right on this evidence 

[DavidM]

Not sure why Evalds isnt playing fullback
