We all now what we have done or rather not done in the last few seasons but some of us are trying at least to be positive for the upcoming season, but reading your posts over the weeks you seem to only see negatives that can't be classed as being realistic, because with a totally reformed squad (built within our means), nothing has happened yet and we haven't even played a friendly.

We're FC fans and we all look forward with some trepidation to 10-00pm on 15th February and wonder how we'll feel then. Because that's what we do! Some of us almost feel we know where we'll be then, because this is Hull FC and we've been there so many times before, but we have at least to try and be positive for now and dare I say some of us are even a bit excited about the coming season.

I'll be first to identify 'problems' and enjoy constructive questioning of the squad etc on here, even at this point in the process, but it's only conjecture at this time. We have a great coach some good youngsters a few unknown quantities, some loyal 100% club men and possibly the most passionate and vociferous fans in the game. Well that's how I see it so for now at least, bring it on.

So I guess I pose the question out of interest, without any prejudice, do you see any positives for next season at all because you don't appear to??

I used to argue with him, then bantered with him now he’s on ignore. I only read his repetitive post because you quoted him.

Wakey turned down Rovers approach for Luke Gale

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Mon Jan 08, 2024 10:40 am  

Imagine letting Abdul and Milnes go and trying to sign Gale.

Don't know whats better the fact they have actually gone for Gale or the fact that he's rejected them

It was Wakey to be fair, reckon he would go, seems the type of bloke that looks after number 1.

But it's hard to be positive

When we was awful last season

And I think signing for replacement we aren't much better

Brown good signing who replaces Clifford who's our best player

Swift hasn't been replaced

Ese ese and okunbur will be good but again they're replacing our better forwards who left

We won't go to the level whilst certain dead wood still here

15th feb is irrelevant it's about how we've done once September comes

Gale is truly done couldn't even make his mark in the championship at keighley

Milnes always seen him as just a bang average player bit like ben mcnamara ( still amazed leigh signed him )

Seperately, I think long term relegation will be one of the best things that happened to Wakey. It allowed them to have a clear out of the players they don't want, get new owners on board and have this season to build a competitive squad for their likely return to SL in 2025, not just a squad full of panic buys to do just enough to keep them up

Exactly what leigh did season before last

Signings likes of ipape, Lam in championship and then adding super league quality in likes of leutele, hardaker, obrien, charnley, Briscoe
