<t>The example is there for all to see at our nearest and dearest rivals. A coach who was a playing legend but didn't cut the mustard as a coach was removed and a new guy installed. Result? there for all to see. Winning ways with roughly the same playing staff; nearly made the GF; fans back on-side ...

For me that was Sam's best game since his comeback - good to see!

<t>RL in general is losing fans, and has a number of small town clubs that can only attract a small number of supporters. Bradford did, and can again, attract over 10,000 every home game, which makes them a big club. The RFL is right, for once, in attempting to keep the club going, but in my opinion...

<t>I agree that what we have been served this season is really quite poor. Bland, uninspiring, boring, predictable and not worth the entrance fee. I sense that the players are also hacked off with the way they are being told play. There's no joy in the performance, just playing by numbers, and Wanes...

I think it would be better for both Sam and the club if he didn't play again this season. Give him more time and space to get himself fully fit, then we can judge him next season.

After saying that I also believe the overall standard of Super League is declining yearly. It clearly doesn't help that so many really good British players go to play in Australia. It's a real problem isn't it?

<t>The quality of the players is just not good enough at present. Go back to McGuire's first season and compare his players to the current one's and ask "who in this team would have made it into his team" They were in a different class in my opinion, talented, exciting to watch, well coached and win...

Men v/s boys last night. This is a very good Hull team; quality players showing skill and commitment. I think they will definitely be in the mix come the end of the season.

I seem to remember that Greeny got similar treatment until he announced he was leaving, then all of a sudden he was bloody marvellous. Smithy is good enough for Waney and good enough for England so he can't be all that bad. Give the guy a break!

<t>I don't know if this post is in the correct category, so apologies if I got it wrong.<br/> <br/> I read an article in one of the papers a couple of weeks ago, written by their R U reporter. He was bemoaning the fact that the strict laws applied in the professional game were impacting badly on the...
