No bias here I call it as I see it.
Your mid table at best, a position you held 2 years ago. You will be in the mix but I cant say I am 100 percent you will finish in the 6. Currentley I have Wigan, Wire,Cats and Saints better then you. Youll be battling the other places out with Salford, Huddersfield and Leeds.
Other then the purchase of your stadium I dont see alot of other improvements off the field other then your BOD saying they plan to do XYZ. I hope it comes off for you as any club improving is only good for the sport.
Your academy situation is still very poor and your crowds are roughly the same barring when tickets are practically given away.
However that said I can see why they is optimism, your first team is competitve and you have managed to create extra revenue streams. Given with the board you have assembled you could achieve some great things but this is rugby league and its very rare what owners say they are going to do is actually followed up.
Your right to be very optimistic but I definetley feel FCs decline is making KR fans feel they are further down the road then they actually are.
Your academy has had a lot of success in the past. Unfortunately for you the pick of the reasonably recent bunch seem to have been let go. I cannot identify any recent graduates that are in your squad that could be classed as good quality, consistent and established SL players. There is no one that I would want in our squad. There seems little point in having a successful academy if the process does not improve your squad. Please don’t quote Houghton, Shaul or even those of an older vintage. I could quote Taylor. It’s the here and now that is important. Fash is average at best and only has enthusiasm in his favour. I know he received the awards last year but as acknowledged by many FC fans that just emphasised how poor the rest were. Cator from our academy has similar limitations. The Hull FC Academy is often trumpeted in these forums but recently there has been little evidence of its benefits to you.
