It's quite confusing why when something had clearly been changed for the better at half time, he then withdraws multiple players who were playing well and loses the momentum. His in play changes appear no better than 4 years ago when we lost to Wigan.

It seems to me that McNamara's interchange policy is one of two things:

1) Interchanges planned before the game and doesn't deviate from the plan, regardless of how someone is playing or how tired they're not (hence why Addy came off, even though he didn't look tired and was playing very well).

2) Thinks he has to use all 12 interchanges no matter what, hence why the likes of Langley went off for less than 5 minutes before coming back on again.

I wonder...just wonder...whether the interchanges are being (unduly?) influenced by these sensor gadgets they are supposed to be wearing? Computer he say man's readings say he knackered therefore computer say spell man? Not sure I remember the extent to which they provide real-time in-game info as opposed to shedloads of data for processing after?

Been wondering for a while given I too have become increasingly perplexed of late.

If it is, they must be wondering if Glenn Hall's is faulty due to how quickly it comes up with "he's buggered, take him off".

I didn't think the RFL had permitted the GPS system to be used in competitive games only in friendlies.

I would also point to:

22-22, 5th tackle, Bulls 20 metres out centre field, on the open side 5 Hull players offside by some distance (Fitzgibbon acknowledges by screaming at his fellow teamates); ball goes blind side and potential for repeat set lost with Hull on the backfoot.

25 metres out, last tackle, ball with Platt (shouldn't have been) he makes woeful cross-field kick which ends up in front of the Coral Stand fire exit steps.

Same score, ball with Sykes, kick to air (once again) Tansey picks it, quick step....Craig Hall try.

Last set of the game, L'Estrange in possession attempting to play the ball, 5 seconds on the clock. Defender engages him in a wrestle, failed to play the ball. Game over. Poor concentration.

A game that was there to be won.

from all your friends in the big city down the road.
At this stage of the season what you need is too be consistant
Maybe if the RFL extend the play-offs to the top 10 you might sneak in?

Is that what happened? couldnt really tell from where I was stood above tunnel. Match reports I've read today said tansey fended sheriffe off then worrincy made the tackle but tansey managed to offload to hall. No mention off a trip in them.

That's what it seemed like to me. Worrincy got back and tackled Tansey, just a shame he managed to offload, and it was a world class offload at that.

was quite impressed that worrincy managed to get back at all tbh. where were reardon and nero? sheriffe came diagonally across field and managed to nearly catch tansey yet no sign of the players who were supposed to be covering that side.
