Yeah because your injuries have hardly been mentioned this season has it.

The secret forum mentions it every other post and just don't like it as the media mentions Hull injuries

Hardly compares to renaming the KC HRi, employing Mr Bump as a mascot and actually re-branding the club with the prefix injury-hit.

If you're unhappy maybe get on social media and request Barrie Mac to highlight Rovers missing players then. Oh wait

…. so, ignoring the injury situation as it appears to be irrelevant, Westerman has had an op on his knee, out for the season, Kelly out for another month with concussion, Hadley out for a month, plus Connor and Bowden out for season.

Green injured, I can't see Sneyd playing, carlos, paea and mini playing with injuries, griffin, shaul, talanoa and abdull hardly match fit.

Far from unhappy, quite refreshing to have the old Hull back actually,got boring with you lot all happy. Shame Agar's not still around, used to like the weekly 'us injuries updates'.

Indeed.

Wonder how many of their numerous new signings will be playing for the dobbins?

How they can fit them all in their salary cap is beyond me.

Whereas you're still on the jam tomorrow scenarios promised by Peacock's 5 Year plan. About to go into the 4th season of it too and still fannying about in the Middle 8s with Halifax and the like. At least we've had jam within living memory of the majority of our fanbase. Twice.

Well said Mrs B. It must be a real downer when your last major trophy win was in the last century.

They can't. Having to offload 3 on loan to accomodate. Rovers said they'd like a back and a forward heading into the 8s and it looks like they're ending up with Crooks and Hall. Hardly signings to incite fear.

Not a fan of 5 year plans, all just hogwash trotted out to make decent power point presentations. Much rather just turn up with limited expectations and watch a decent game once in a while. Too long in the tooth now to get all het up about being rubbish.

Jam is fine and you've had a good couple of years, no one can deny that but you'll fall back to your usual level of dissatisfaction once the wasps land in the jam, think a few touched down last week.

Listening to Radders it'll be an open top bus if you win on Friday, additional jam for you to look forward to I suppose.
