Tony Smith is convinced the Hull FC hierarchy will continue to back his long-term project in the wake of another drubbing for his struggling side.

The Black and Whites crashed out of the Challenge Cup on Saturday after surrendering to a 50-6 defeat at Huddersfield Giants. Smith's team have conceded 104 points in two games to continue a wretched start to the new campaign. Hull, who finished 10th in Super League in Smith's first season, travel to neighbours Hull KR this week with a record of five defeats in six matches amid a selection crisis.

'Unfortunately, it's part of the pain we are going through right now. It was always going to happen but it's unpleasant while it's happening.' Hull head into the Good Friday derby as huge underdogs against a side fresh from a 40-0 rout of Salford Red Devils in the cup. Smith is hoping an away date with fierce rivals KR sparks his team back to life. 'We need to dust ourselves off and learn quickly,' said Smith, whose side won at Craven Park last year.
