Yesterday, Hull FC were shocked by Salford Red Devils losing 60-14 at home in a game many saw as too close to call.

Naturally Hull FC fans weren’t happy about the defeat but the stick they were getting from their city rivals, who also lost this week, made matters worse.

Awful lot of hull kr fans coming out of hiding, bright red for them

Lots of rival fans enjoyed the disappointment from Hull FC saying it was the best £10 they have spent.

One fan claimed that if Hull FC had any chances of winning Super League they were now gone. However, history disagrees with such an assessment. Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors have both won the Grand Final after thumping defeats early in the season whilst even St Helens won the title last year having been thumped by Salford themselves.

One fan believed Hull should have been booed off the pitch.

Whilst another supporter described it as “an absolute shambles.”

Absolute shambles that was embarrassing shamed yourself again. Same old problems nothing has changed

This was echoed by another fan who questioned where the pride in the shirt was.

Some players need to take a long hard look at themselves. Absolute disgrace. Where is the pride in the shirt? Embarrassing
