Yet again feeling very apathetic about the club, it's the same routine of look half decent for a few months, flog some shirts then give up before summer is out before the next season hype begins and they expect the faithful to cough up for below par rubbish again.

The worrying thing is this time the finances can't cope with another drop in pass sales. Heart is saying yes to buying another pass, head is saying this is the 5th year in a row of 6th place tedium, go spend your time and money doing something else...

Agree with this. The standard of super league generally, allied to what we’ve been served up constantly by FC, makes it difficult to keep enthusiastic.

Think that game genuinely embarrassed the game as an elite sport. Both teams absolutely rank. Get rid of Brett and Purtill asap.

Worrying times for British Rugby League, they have removed the big hits and left us with no skill and constant errors. Combined with the cost of living crisis in a working class sport and 1 year left in an already reduced SKY deal and it's survival time now

AP must be worried watching that. Going to live sport could soon be a considered purchase. Jam tomorrow won’t work anymore.

We were playing Warrington who have been terrible, and were terrible tonight

Not denying effort, but ideas and execution were terrible

At least we scored 0 points.

Indeed, and the days of signing a big down under signing to fire up sales have gone due to the massive wage differences to the NRL now. The 'support us through Covid' thing has been done now too. Not sure what other marketing cards we have to play now.

Just for some context, most on here had us either just sneaking the play offs this season with our current squad.

We've had Connor, Carlos, Griffin, Reynolds, Savelio, Cator all probably in the 17 at the start of the season missing today.

Chuck in Gale and Swift going off after 20 mins. Is it any wonder we struggled tonight.

Reality is we're a mid table team.

Should we have been better with ball in hand? 100%

But take out 2 starting pivots out of any team, then another 20 mins into the match and they'd all struggle.

It was a very boring game but both teams were tough and Hull defended well throughout. I just think that Hull have based their game on the attacking threat of Connor and without him there is not much other than than grunt.

TBF I don't think many teams would have scored a lot against Hull tonight but equally not many teams would have conceded much either. Hull were toothless but did finally find some urgency in the last few minutes. It was too little too late and seeing as though Wire had a good try chalked off for a non existent forward pass the result was fair.

After the derby game Mrs B said that things can change quickly and she was right. Hull went on a good run albeit with a string of home games and Rovers went into a slump. Now the tide is turning again and I think Rovers will win at Newcastle.

Looking at the bigger picture this is the last season for the foreseeable future of Hull out spending Rovers and with the economic picture so much brighter for Rovers than Hull, inevitably the next few years will be difficult for you lot.
