Same here.

CBA category for me tonight. Not even watching it on TV either.

Not as much to do with the poor performances of Leeds for me but more to do with the general tripe on offer throughout SL which is the main factor in my CBA-ness status. I can only stomach watching Catalans these days. At least they've got a few star quality players who are actually worth watching.

Two season tickets not being utilised among my family members. Probably still counted in the official attendance tonight though.

I've actually been to more games already this year than I did last already, but that's more to do with taking my 4yr old as he is rugby mad at the moment, but I have actually been a bit bored at some of the games TBH, also not watching as many neutral games as I used to. Not sure if this is the lack of entertainment and standard or that we are poor. This last year I have watched a fair bit of a amateur games again because of my boy and actually found myself more interested there than at HQ at moment.

That said taking the kids tonight but don't hold out much hope

I take in a under 13, and under 15 game every week, and normally there is an under 16 game after the under 15's so watch that also. Much prefer that this season.

I don't mind losing games, but the crap on offer from Leeds full stop this year is really bad to stay interested at. It is a game thing aswell though, as usually go to about 6 or 7 Cas games per season, and this year they too are crap to watch.

Ablett mentioned it in his Collum as well the drop in standards. I don't know if when your winning it doesn't register not sure. I remember watching a lot of dross last year as well but it seems worse again this year

Lower level RL's always been worth a watch, Batley v Fev will likely be the best sky game of the weekend. Much more likely to watch that than I am to replay ours.

Much better. Burrow and Hardaker really stood up and led, as well as JJB in the last 20 minutes. Lilley kicked really well throughout but Sutcliffe was terrible again.

Re: Hull FC.... : Fri Apr 15, 2016 9:19 pm  

This was probably are best performance too date along with the first half in wcc not convinced are attack is all there yet but defence definitely improved though Burrow,Lilley,Hardaker, JJB and Keinhorst were are best performers tonight hopefully kick on now and get ourselves up the table. All Leeds aren't we, all Leeds aren't, all Leeds aren't we.

Wouldn't say he was terrible, but not as impressive as other pivots, average maybe better description.

I just prefer Lilley over Sutcliffe because Lilley looks determined to get himself involved and make a contribution and not wait for the game to come to him like Sutcliffe (or again the disappointing Watkins).

Hardaker had a couple of knock ons 1st half and again the thing about him leaving kicks for the wingers was obvious (although Golding made a great escape from one to avoid a drop out). However did do a lot of good things and created the first try for those particular "he can't pass at all" crowd and some good defence.l

Keinhorst just such a good worker and whilst they don't have the strength of Hall and Briscoe in carrying the ball Golding and Handley did OK. Achurch came up with one good offload but defensively he just isn't good enough for me.

They'll inevitably be the talk of the unused sub, however I thought Burrow was having one of his better games at hooker so didn't mind the-still-to-impress Falloon not getting on.
