Ex-players disagree over whether Hull FC are in relegation trouble

Wakefield Trinity are still bottom of Super League without a win but Kevin Brown believes that they can make Hull FC, who sit in 11th with two wins but six defeats in a row, worry.

“The good thing for them is Hull FC are now just above them and they’ll be chasing them down, it seems strange to say but if they can just start winning a few games then Hull will be really starting to worry,” he said on The Last Tackle but Adrian Morley disagreed backing his former Warrington Wolves coach Tony Smith to turn things around.

He said: “I think it will turn around for them because Tony will work his magic at some point but it needs to be sooner rather than later.

“They won their first two games and they’ve not won a game since so just to be four points above the relegation drop it’s certainly unacceptable for the Hull fans, and to get nilled off the fiercest arch-rivals 40-0 they won’t accept that.”

However, this only played into Brown’s fears for the side: “That’s the worry I think the resilience is probably the thing that they need to work on. They played at home a couple of weeks previous to Salford and got beat by 60 and then like Moz said, to get beat by the big arch rivals by 40 points to nil at home it’s just not on.

“It’s not just turning the tide and making sure you start performing, they’ve got to start competing first and when they go behind they’ve got to make sure that they don’t capitulate and let it be a landslide.”
