Tin hat on here but it’s not like Hull fans don’t have a reputation for both being terrible judges of players in general and over criticism of local players. Admittedly the local lads should lead by example in effort and pride in the shirt but l think sometimes it goes the other way and borders bias at times with the criticism.
Anyways, it does look like it will be the closest thing we’ll get to full reset and fresh start for everyone next season. Fash has been poor and even borderline liability at times this season but for me if gets a pass, plenty of others have before let’s see how he goes in a better environment, I honestly think plenty of clubs would want a player like him on his form a couple of years ago, nobody has really covered themselves in glory this year for whatever reason but a bit of perspective is needed.
Lane is slightly different, I think maybe a couple of years ago the stats he posted for some games were unacceptable for a senior pro, but he’s seemingly become a real workhorse this season in a side that’s battered every week. Alongside a bit more quality in the side the effort and defensive work he’s been getting through might be more appreciated, he might even get the opportunity to score the tries he was regularly a few years ago in a bit better side, we know he has that in his locker.
Maybe the toxic tag the players give the supporters is unfair with what we’ve had to put up with, but either way I think we’d all be better just wiping the slate clean for next season and see how it goes. It can’t be any worse can it? Players and fans at each other backs all the time will never create a good environment.
for the 2024 squad that’s still a full million pound less then Wigan who maxed out all the exemptions at 3.1 million with Wire and Catalans not far behind at supposedly at 3 million.
