Liam Moore is not a fan of cas either?!jeez it was 28-0 after 20 minutes I don’t think they needed help off Moore!as for castleford they are a really poor side and last week was a game we should not be losing of course we praise the team when there good but 36 points to that castleford side was simply atrocious!there’s only two games castleford have scored more than 20 and there both against us! Yes they are a poor team and we should have beaten them and in my opinion we would have,if we had turned up with the right attitude.We didn't and we got what we deserved.

I was at the Cas v Wigan game Yesterday. Liam Moore is no friend of Cas neither.I thought it was only us he didn't like Wigan didn't need any help but they certainly got some.

Just been on the Hull FC board and mention of Rowley being touted for Head Coach and trying to poach Ian Blease for Director of Rugby. I think they want to be Salford in disguise. I'd never stand in the way of Rowley or Blease if they want to go an increase their pay elsewhere, I'd be disappointed but that is the nature of employment and sport. However I do not think its likely, neither will want to uproot their families or commute to Hull. Their chairman Pearson is a dickhead, what he did to Radford on TV was disgraceful. The club is toxic and change for the Black and Whites needs to start at the top. When Shaun Macrae left us and went to Hull he still lived in Salford and went 3 days a week.

I agree we need to win,and I think we will.But we said the same against Cas,and look what happend.I don't care what anyone else says but we were complacent and lost because we thought we only had to turn up it doesn't work like that. London don't have anything to loose we have to go with the right attitude I think we will and win.

I hope he stays put,all the time I have watched the game Hull have always tried to entertain he might be just what they need.I honestly can't see him going. I've always found Hull, apart from some big occasions, a dour side but that would just mean Rowles is even more needed there! We will have to disagree on that Russ

I like Rowley, with the financial restraints he’s had and player turnover to deal with, he’s still turned out a decent side. Certainly doesn’t deserve a poison chalice. I hope he stays put,all the time I have watched the game Hull have always tried to entertain he might be just what they need.I honestly can't see him going.

I am happy with the first six rounds,I don't think anyone should be happy with seventh I don't think their are any mitigating factors at all for that display,I disagree with The coaches observations that their was know complacency i thought that was part of the trouble I came into this season with hope rather than expectation and I am still in that mode. I said I would be glad when we got to 18 points any more that's a bonus.I am looking forward to the rest of the season.

This is a weird team this year. They defensively look better than last year but are shipping more tries. They are more structured than last year but their structure is shipping tries. We are playing more maturely than last year but are making stupid calls at stupid times. I'm really not sure what to make of it all... I think you've highlighted why it's so disappointing this time round they do look to have more about them than last year and yet fail to live up to their potential. Russ I suppose 64 thousand dollar question is why some would say the coach others would say something different. A lot people would say the best coach we have had was Lance Todd but growing up down Regent Rd the late Billy Watkins had pub the Gloucester I remember one time asking him about the 30 ties side and him saying a lot of the moves were worked out by himself Jenkins Risman and Jackie Feetham and Todd was m ore of a manager. I no people will say are but it's a different game now

Perhaps someone else can actually answer this question: Has IMG increased our media presence and footprint at all? Please don't qote the TV deals that have all the hallmarks of no change about them! Russ on this subject I am as skeptical as you at at present that comes from in my opinion the big decision re the new TV deal,where it seems they were over ruled by you know who in that instance the piper didn't call the tune. If I am wrong I would like to be put right.

Amazingly having not lost as badly as Leeds were in the top 6 Leigh Hull Cas London are way behind and Watto still looking at our rear…so life not too bad , except for LHR…who seems intent on getting at Rowley via his mate PK…perhaps he might tell PK to generate some cash so we don’t lose about £1M last season. and have to get rid of top 3 players. Rowley is building a new team via a new spine; remember Marwan brought in Watto, Watto brought in Rowley, the Board brought in Marshall…I’ll stick with Rowley, with or without a top class reserve grade NRL prop forward. If Marshall had still been here , it’d have been in the Championship Nofo hopefully, when sorted will, on big dry grounds come good, but we’ll see…his pedigree cf reserve grade Oz props is not bad JJR heads gone what has Paul King got to do with last nights performance. We let them run from marker - King was the biggest culprit here. Brierley needs tackle practice he missed 3 one on one tackles. He was awful last night as our last line of defence. Cust, MacDonald and Brierley all missed tackles on Senior. As has been said by others Rowley's defensive system is not working, Cas are not a super quick team. We are that flat on the edge a team can easily pass over us as demonstrated v Leigh and last night at Cas. Rowley choose a third hooker on the bench, this offered us no value. Foster or Dixon last night would have made us better in the middle. Rowley needs to consider playing a 3rd forward, all the better teams do, surely we can learn from this. I just watched KR v London highlights, London are shocking. Rowley needs to sort out the edge defence big time but cannot be held responsible for mistackles that is on our players. So are we saying we are watching a team of robots programmed by Paul Rowley to go on a field and play,and last night he programmed them to play like they did,to miss tackle after tackle so when the program falls apart they haven't got the brains to sort it out if that's the case we are wasting our money going to watch, ordinary bread and butter rugby players should know how to tackle that's one of the main tenants of the game.

Anyway not getting into bickering there’s been enough of that with a certain person,think our first 8 matches show us where our problems lie and that’s defence only one game have we conceded less than 20 so that’s a big worry,I think last night certainly at 24-18 we had it won just think we don’t know how to stop teams when they get on a roll,ultimately defence wins you matches and the tries we conceded were so poor that we were always going to come unstuck,week off now hopefully dudson back and we can start having a bigger bench,personally I thought Dixon was ok against Wigan so suprised he hasn’t been used again he was 18th man last night Their should be no bickering, everyone is entitled to their opinion,we all watched last night some unluckily were there How many different opinions are their on what we witnessed everyone on this forum as favourites,it's human nature of all the different opinions we are probably all a little bit right,but we all think we are the only one right it's called debate,. but what we should all agree on was that,last night's performance was unacceptable from 1 17 their should be no debate about that. Also their has been a bit of banter re Leigh,I have a friend who moved from Salford to the Leigh area many years ago,but a season ticket holder at the Devils but if we are not playing and Leigh are at home he goes but the same person his a Salford fanatic just like me.

I’m not singling cross out just pointing out nofa today was victim of the same defensive system that caught cross out it’s clearly a plan. But we’ve been found out and teams are exploiting it massively. Side note king and Mellor were poor need more of the bench Agree Mr Millward and with Dixon on the effort. Some of our thick fans blame Norfa two games in. King cost us two tries first half turning his back, we got rolled at marker every other set. Cust, Nene, Brierley all missed tackles on Senior. I lay the blame on Rowley, **** edge defense system that gets done every game. Leigh was no different, In addition just two forwards on the bench is stupid. I am not leaving out the coaches in my observations far from it they should be walking home as well,but the coaches could not do any tackling sat on the gantry its a team game that's what we should be focusing on anyone who went tonight were let down by the lot of them. We lost nearly every individual battle that is why as a collective we lost. I know some will say well we will beat Warrington I will tell you I wouldn't put your money on it,I also hear some say we think we are better than we are,well those that do want to wake up and apologize.

Wasn’t just cross it was both edges and the middles I’m not singling cross out just pointing out nofa today was victim of the same defensive system that caught cross out it’s clearly a plan. But we’ve been found out and teams are exploiting it massively. Side note king and Mellor were poor need more of the bench I don't like scapegoating for me 1 to 17 were the trouble they should all be walking home. The pack his not good enough the pack is the heartbeat of any good team always as been always will be Lastly I will go as far as to say that is one of the most feeble performances I have seen in all my years watching
