Hull FC - blackandwhites.co.uk • Re: Huddersfield

I understand it's disappointing to come close. I take the point about variations in performance, completely. Nonetheless 2 GF appearances by clubs outside the top 4 group (and Bradford back in the day) out of a possible 42 is quite telling. It's not preaching, it's just a matter of fact. I do agree the team is capable of more but I also believe that our attack is over-reliant on Kelly's individual brilliance and we need to work much harder on Plan B as his injury record is concerning. We all want the same thing, of course, but just have different attitudes towards mid table status. To me it's more or less where I thought we'd be given our pack weaknesses, so I'm not going to get worked up about it. Others will point to games narrowly missed and fret about them, but for those close games there's a golden point win that Sneyd's pulled out the bag for us, perhaps undeservedly? They are just different perspectives.

The other point is there have been far more false dawns in SL through bringing in new coaches than there have been success stories. I'm just not that confident we could bring in someone guaranteed to be more successful and getting it wrong could set the club back a couple of years when, as you say, we're in the position of creating chances so arguably not a million miles off.
