plus to be fair to other RL fans in general, the only time we've been on TV is against Hudds, and that wasn't our best performance this season
But we get very little coverage of matches full stop. So little exposure, in fact, that the pundits and commentators simply do not know enough about us any more to pass constructive comment.
Stevo thinks it's all down purely to Horney, end of, and as for Offiah's comments last Sunday, it was like a 4 year old trying to explain the depths of a Picasso.
There were virtually none of our matches live in the latter part of last season and only one this, so it's no wonder they know nowt and are reduced to spouting cliches or re-quoting other journalists who were present at our match. They also appear to be employing another tactic to disguise their ignorance, that of focussing on the defects of our opponents who they have had more opportunity to analyse because of more exposure time.
Whether or not it was right to neglect us in the first place, or to continue to not give us coverage now we look strong is the same question I have been asking for years - but then the Hull teams have always been the forgotten ones IMO.
Still, it seems to be setting us in good stead so far, just wonder if they'll recognise who the ones in Black and White are when the teams run out at Old Trafford
I've long since stopped expecting anything in the way of recognition. Even in 2005/6 when we made finals both years and had that massive winning run we were never taken seriously. Can you imagine it being the same if it had been Wigan or Warrington doing it? I don't watch Boots & All anymore. HullFC.TV all the way.
