| Quote NorthumbriaBull="NorthumbriaBull"Purtell was given the number 2 jersey, with Lulia at 3, and Chev retaining 4, so there may be an indication there that Potter sees him as a winger, although I know he played both friendlies at centre, that may be just because Lulia has been out, and Potter would get lynched if he threw Platt or Sykes a starting centre role in pre season. Any one following the NRL would tell you Purts is best suited to the wing.'"
Ah my bad, you're right. I thought he'd given Purtell 3 or 4, not sure where I got that from! |

his try scoring rate is similar for wing and centre, but the implication of his high number of intercepts is that he comes out the line, which is less risky close to the touchline than in the centre of the field. Was it anyone in particular doing all the mishandling or was it general? |

| Quote NorthumbriaBull="NorthumbriaBull"Purtell showed he deffinitely has passion, but looked a little suspect in defence at centre, stick the big guy on the wing where he scores most of his trys, and pair him with a strong defender i.e. Lulia. I think Chev should be paired with Kear on the other side, I have much more confidence in Kear's defensive ability. I know many of you disagree with Chev at centre but he's our best option, Purts in NOT a centre!'"
I made the same comment in the game thread. Purtell looked too exposed at centre as we saw for the Yeaman score and numerous breaks down his flank.
Walker got my MOM yesterday - he was an absolute monster in defence for us at times. Donaldson also deserves a special mention for the work rate he put in during his 50+ minutes out there on the field. |

Can think of at least one poster who won't like that comment  |

It all depends on injuries. Still annoyed from yesterday. If there is ANY positive to come form yesterday is that they might be hurting a little bit and be pumped up for the game. But what worries me is we had this last year, lose lose, humilated, superb win, lose, humilated, superb win.
We have to be fired up every single game. Not just for Leeds or when we have taken a beating the week before. That was what was most alarming from the defeat yesterday, we don't seem able to morivate ourselves.
I know it's a new season and i was optimistic a week ago. But all the other teams have improved and we cannot afford a slow start. COYB!

Platt came up with an audacious pass on a powerplay 10m out from the Hull FC try line in the second half, which resulted in it being picked off by Manu who went 60m down field.
The next play the ball Hull FC try to Tom Briscoe. |

The three stand outs from yesterday we're Crookes, Donaldson and Walker.
All three should be in the 17 for the visit of the Catalan Dragons on Sunday. |

Hopefully Crookes can kick on and put pressure on Kear, Ainscough, Pryce.
Hope he takes his chance as we don't have that many backs coming through.
