A DEFIANT Tony Smith insists he is at Hull FC for the long haul despite a chastening derby defeat to Hull Kingston Rovers on Good Friday.

The veteran Australian has been unable to turn Hull’s fortunes around in the same manner that he did across the city at his previous club Rovers, who emphatically cemented their status as the dominant team in East Yorkshire with a 34-10 win at Craven Park.

“We’ve got to toughen up, we’ve got to accept the criticism we’re copping and go right, time to stop that and turn it around ourselves, because no one is going to do it for us, we’ve got to dig in and work our way out. Some people fold and cave in, but if you’re going to last in rugby league you’ve got to have that resilience and be tough enough to handle all that and work hard enough to push through it and come out the other side.
