Hull FC are well beaten by London who register their first win and we are as far as the rest of British Rugby League a laughing stock.
Lets get real here for a moment that showing this afternoon (when you put it in context with our plight and yet the hope the last couple of games has given us that at least we can be competitive and the fact that most pundit didn't think London would win a game this year) was appalling. In fact when you put it into that sort of context it was probably one of the worst showing we have seen since the David Lloyd days for we were as a team totally inept in every department. London decided to play it wide from the start and we couldn't cope with it and that staggered defensive line and flat attacking formation made me wonder exactly what they do all week. Those folks who made the trek down there deserved so much more as once again they were short changed, for it was woeful. The Club shell out for all the ,team and entourage to stay in a London Hotel, where apparently they would bond, for one of the most important games of the season So far and we get that.
So, what next?? Well those on here who think Grix is the answer should perhaps start to think again because although we did not expect some miraculous transformation that was a Tony Smith performance and perhaps worse. The old issues are still there with a training staff that was there with Smith and who seem to be continuing the pattern. Today once again there was something radically wrong with the attitude application and will to win. We need a new broom in at the club and wholesale changes to the personel because a lot of that lot out on the field seem to have such displays cast into their make up. New players come in start well and then seem to be engulfed by the demise of the rest of them. At present and it breaks my heart to say it we are garbage and thank goodness there are still thousands out there who love the club, who care who want to see the slightest glimmer of hope and yet who feel helpless to do anything about it their loyalty is almost unbelievable really. But we are in a massive hole and as I said at the beginning I'm afraid our great club has been reduced tonight to an absolute laughing stock.
