    Thanks for posting TC, I hadn't had time to search for it.
    Apparently we'll have a full strength side for Wigan game, just hope they can keep it rolling along.
    We've a four point lead on Warrington with level games played.

    Quite like these new spoof vendors around town, the 2 with City scarves in front and the rugby ones at the back, as it should be.

    William Webb Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it, he didn't kick it 50 yards up the field into touch for a line out, Rover ;) The kicking is higher quality in union but it doesnt improve it to watch.

    This was more about kicking conversions mate, Mikey's field kicking is top notch.

    Close though, as you say, on to the showdown, should be hell of a game.

    Went yesterday and that was probably the worst I've ever seen them. I go on Ex players tickets and yesterday was busy because of a Dinner after the game. Almost every single player I chatted too, some of the best in their time too, lay the blame squarely with Pearson. He has ruined the club and is now just milking it to pay for his divorce. That new guy needs to clear the decks from kit man to chairman and start again. Its getting embarrassing how poor the club is in every aspect now.

    Here's a thought. They clearly don't have enough teams to make an interesting league, so could they make it more entertaining if they applied the bookies handicap to each game?

    For example, in the Leeds v London game today, bookies are giving London an 18 point start in the handicap betting. What would be the impact of applying a similar system to the game itself, so Leeds would need to win by 19 or more, or London get the points?

    Not a chance whilst owned by Pearson and not clearing out the staff from top to bottom. They've had good players before and they get fed up and walk away.

    Here's an insight into how bad they are. Brad Fash was left out yesterday because of SI joint pain. A physio I worked with at Hull KR was in the Kingston suite and knows Brad from West Hull. When he told him why he was out the physio was gobsmacked that was the case because it is very simple to treat. He even offered to do it there and then in the bar!!

    The physio is already being replaced for next year. They currently have a doctor wearing the orange t shirt because the physio isn't qualified to do pitch assements. Yesterday they also had 3 x red t shirt doctors in the dugout. The requirement is 1. They are not cheap so why on earth would you have 3!! The S and C coach is fatter than I am. Its a complete shambles mate. Fundamentals of a good team is have the right backroom staff. They've clearly gone cheap, in fact I know they have because Tony Smith didn't have the budget for the staff he wanted.

    My mate was in the Cas dugout yesterday, someone you probably know from when he was at Rovers, and he kept pulling faces at me and laughing at how bad Hull were. I don't think they could believe how easy it was for them. Genuinely that was the worst Hull FC team I have ever seen. Even the kids are now making the soft mistakes and dumb decisions having looked so promising earlier in the season.
