Not coincidental at all that we play better and look better when our 6,7,9 & 13 are playing in their desired positions?

I was surprised Ablett won the MOTM by SKY, didn't think he should have been anywhere near it. Sinfield I thought was the best player on the pitch, closely followed by Buderus.

Were you watching the same game as us?

Although Buderus and Sinfield were outstanding last night, Ablett had a stormer and was easily in contention for MotM.

1. Buderus
2. Burrow
3. Ablett

Can we please please keep Buderus on for the full 80; along with the 'triangle' of Burrow/McGuire/Sinfield. We know it makes sense

Delaney impresses more each time when in the forwards: great at driving the ball in and now also looking to offload.
Peacock looked back to form, but the penalties for high shots were a repeated concern...and what was he doing not passing to Ablett for a ceratin try (the least the latter deserved for an industrious contribution).
JJB was well worth his pay packet too.

Much better discipline and solid defence......BUT

Let's not kid ourselves. Hull must be the worst team I've seen for a long time in attack: even more devoid of any cutting thrust than our lot. Hopeless. The amount of dropped ball and missed opportunities surpassed even Leeds' efforts.
The malaise still runs deep.

Nantwichexile has it spot on, dispite some on here slagging him Burrow is by far our better 7 and DMc is a pale shadow of himself

DMc is definately the weak link at times and despite the mistakes was good to see JP breakin the line

Good to see a 9 at 9, a 7 at 7, a 6 at 6 and a 13 at 13!!!

Yep. We have a stand off, a scrum half, a hooker & a loose forward. It seems obvious to me to play them in their positions rather than the stand off at scrum half, the scrum half at hooker and the loose forward at stand off. But I suppose that's the Leeds way. Hauraki to centre, it's the obvious next step.

I don't agree. I thought he did well. His two errors were poor but I don't think they're going to be a long term problem. He looked safe at the back and linked well. A decent display IMO.

I can put the mistakes aside, it happens. Is link play was poor, more to it than just linking. Had Webb been in that position I would have been confident of another couple of tries at least. More a dissapointment for me though was how light in the collission, too easy to push back, or to touch.

The lads got a good future, but just on last night, it's definately not centre as previously mentioned, and I have my doubts about fullback. He looks a very good winger.

Fair enough, we'll agree to disagree like grown ups.
