See the above link first.
What frustrates me is the fact that a current Hull player is selling these medals both of which are proof that this player in fact has won and lost in a final of the challenge cup - The most prestigious competition in Rugby league.
Hull Player's and fans are supposed to be proud to have been involved with the black and whites, yet this player is an example of this new breed of player who has no pride in the team they play for, and thus these players and bringing the club down.
These "athlete's" get paid high money, win or lose, so they aren't exactly going to have to put effort in to feed there family/habits. Where as 20-30 years ago, the player's were NOT athletes, they had jobs and rugby was just there hobby. They got paid for wins. So they put effort in. But most important of all - They had PRIDE.
Come Rain or Shine, Hull FC Fans have the most passionate fans in the world. They scrape there hard earned cash to pay the highest prices in super league to watch there team play. And Recently The team have played half-hearted.
To put into perspective of how much the team means to a fan;
Hull win = Fan happy until next match
Hull lose - fan depressed until next match
You could put a girl who i love more than anything in front of me - but if its the girl or my team - I'd pick Hull FC any day.
Hopefully One day, the players who put on that famous Black and white irregular hooped jersey will realise how much that badge - that shirt - them colours are in the life of a true FC fan.
Hear hear and well said! It's almost like FC is "just" a paycheck - it is so much more than that even to me in the short time I have been an FC fan.
ReplyDelete"highest prices" - really??? Wow!
"And Recently The team have played half-hearted." - more that 1/2 the games I've watched have been so far below "effort" as to qualify as "False Advertising"!!!!
Mind you, there still is and will always be only ONE club in Hull, FC :)
COME ON YOU 'ULL!!!!
Well said. One of the reasons I want Big Sam Moa to stay at the club is because he has pride in the shirt and gives his all. There hasn't been many about of late has there?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments (must check this more often!)
ReplyDeleteSam Moa would go from strength to strength with the forwards we'll have next year.
"more that 1/2 the games I've watched have been so far below "effort" as to qualify as "False Advertising"!!!!" - Well the amount of effort put into our matches is about the same amount of effort Paul Cooke puts into staying sober lol
