Productivity rates at work will drop through the floor, and domestic assault cases will rocket at HRI A&E . Both Hull 'giants' have been hammered once again and this rugby-mad city will be in mourning all week.
James Smailes reported last night that in 2020 that Hull FC, Hull City and Hull KR have only won 6 games combined (and 1 of those was FC beating KR in the Derby at the start of the season!)
Interesting they’d just played Salford. No idea where Salford players live, like I’ve no idea where FC players live, but obviously that’s an area locked down due to increased spread at the moment and they’re considering tightening their lockdown so obviously not going in the right direction there. All that cuddling they do must be more risky for spreading viruses than football you’d think?
So 6 Hull FC players get it, in a region that is one of the lowest in the UK, having just played a side that has yet to release their results but inhabit an area of the country that has had local lockdowns!
There's a good proportion of the Hull FC squad that live in West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester, its very possible they already had it before they played Salford.
It's what happens when the head coaches philosophy fails and he has no plan b or c. Radford before he was sacked had a successful career with Bradford Bulls that were huge all over the team and they bulldozed the opposition. It worked for him at Hull and they won 2 challenge cups but it stopped working, and his lack of ability to overcome and adapt was shown up. Andy Last is on a hiding to nothing. he's not Head coach material.
AP has said that a players newborn was ill, taken to hospital and the player has either caught it from the child, or when he was at the hospital. Showed no symptoms initally, so had physio at the club on Saturday and then the player was sent home after symptoms started to show. It then spread from the physio room
