Of course fans question the coaches selections and we all have our opinions.
However, you do seem to be on your own, in complaining (endlessley) about the number of players used on Sunday.

It may be worth mentioning that, including Boxing Day, Trinity have 4 warm up games, whereas some clubs only have 2 and as I mentioned in the previous post, the coaching and conditioning staff will have a program for each player over the co of these games and not just the Hull game.

I'll leave questioning Chester's selections until it matters

Whose line ups other than Wakeys have you discussed on here, it's a shame you and a couple of other Leeds fans can't find time to discuss your own club, and no it wasn't a genuine question about the fewer interchanges, it was another deliberate attempt at mischief making,which other club apart from Leeds and that was only used in the context of trying undermine us have you mentioned?

Pedantry is the last refuge of the loser.

So let me get this straight you can read the opinions of the 800 Hull fans who were ther (good show from them) and the 1800 or so Wakey fans (again a good showing) even though you were not actually there - pure comedy gold.

So do you think Radford was the happier coach if we must lower it to such detail? and if so why?

Jesus Christ what a bunch of over sensitives. Can’t even debate about the pre season use of subs giving the upcoming interchange changes or saying one team could be the happier without having several guys go off on rants or sulks. Bloody pathetic.

Hang on a minute.

You choose to pass comment on a game that your didn't watch and call into question the tactics of a clubs' coach and then complain about getting a rise ot of some of said clubs' fans, it is indeed pathetic.


If you were in charge, we'd flog our first 17 to death in the WARM UP games and then bemoan our injury list.


Happy New Year

Thought FCs reserves did pretty well against a full strength Wakefield team.

Think Hull will go a lot better this year than a lot expect, they have a strong squad yet people are basing there opinions on performances last season when they had a freakish injury crisis.

Thanks for a proper response unlike others. Thing is I’ve never actually “this is the right way” or “this is the wrong way”. Just thrown something out in relation to the upcoming interchange ruling which is probably the most significant change for this season on the pitch.

Wow, Hull have got a fair old reserve team with the like of Kelly, Connor & Shaul.

I agree it is and it's been brought up a few times on our forum. My opinion is, I don't think it will make much difference to how we use props because we'll still go with 4 in the 17, I still think they'll interchange the same way but coaches won't go with backs on the bench and will probably get back rowers to do longer minutes. I think maybe more tactics will come into play in how interchanges are used and who's on the bench depending what team your playing. Tbh though, there were so many games you'd watch where teams would have a couple of interchanges to go with 10 minutes left and coaches sometimes looked like they'd just stick who was left on the bench for the sake of it, usually the spare back and a backrower. it's going to be interesting though to see how teams play the 8 interchanges rule, whether they'll say go with 80-minute hookers more, similar with backrowers.

Wow two days for that, I’m so glad you bothered.

So who did we play last year, your ladies team?

Sorry to upset you Vastman but it's just a fact, don't throw teddy out of cot again.

Not sure who your referring to when you say 'Your' my team (The mighty giants) beat wakefield 3 out of 4 times last season after been told your pack would steam roll us, yet they were none existent? Infact, wakefields very own Matty English showed your forwards up.

Are you sure about that? because we beat you early on 22-4, our pack dominated yours. Beat you in the Super8's 16-42 at your place, Trinity's pack was even more dominant and that was without Fifita, 3 forwards all doing over 100m, Pauli Pauli doing 153m. In between, you just beat us 22-25, which could have gone either way, except Brough landed his goals and Finn missed for BJB's try with about 10 to go but set up an exciting finish anyway even though we agonisingly lost.

The only game out of the whole lot where you could close to claiming what you did was when you beat us 40-28. Even the 22-14 CC loss wasn't down to a non-existent pack, you lot just outplayed us in that 2nd half. So 3-2 in all games to you, well done.

By the way, I'm not going to talk young Matty English down, he played well in the CC but apart from that game he played in 2 others making 71 meters & 50, so I'm not sure why the need to bring him up and try to put our forwards down after one good display.
