Get over it man.

Sorry Ivor, but I have got to dissagree, we got rid of a player who was average and didnt replace him, but thats no fault of our own, since he was actually replaced which is why he went.

Chris was a good player, with loads of potential, but for whatever reason didnt get there.

On Friday I would say I would still have had Brown than Throrman. Thorman looked slow and ponderous both in passing and running, and was no real threat to us, where as Brown, some poor passing aside lookes dangerous every time he attacks the line.

To take a leaf from your book, Thormans gone, get over it man.

No offence but apart from Brett Hodgson your backline is very poor.

Really? Two international wingers, an international centre, a young british centre and two young British half backs. They didn't have the best of times on Friday night but 'very poor' is stretching it a bit.

How can you comapare two players than where playing in different positions and roles, Thorman has been brought to Hull to play an organising role which he is doing very well.

I have also watched the game 3 times now and have still to see Brown do anything of note, he didnt break the line once and never looked like doing so.

You should have kept Thorman and looked to offload Robinson.

Reading the RL papers today, it's looks like you had a lucky escape with Carney.

who despite being far superior in every department, hull could only just scrape a 4 point win over i'll settle for that

Wouldn't say scrape, we was always in control.

don't matter if you win by 1 point or 60, a win is a win.

Thank you.

Believe what you will, IMO your backline isn't nothing to shout about.
