Quote: Deus Dat Incrementum "The problem I have with Price at the moment as I can't see what type of team he is building.
Other teams have a signature, we all know under Wane wigan were very aggressive and in defence and ran block for block moves. A couple of years ago Hull had a huge team similar to the Bradford team that Radford played in with Sneyd taking the role of Deacon kicking the team around the pitch.
At the start of the season our forwards were offloading for fun but we appear to have given up with that so we are not an offloading team. We don't have a particularly aggressive defence.
We have probably the best hooker in the world at jumping out of DH (possibly Cook for Rabbitohs and NSW) but we have dropped the one player in the team that is almost guaranteed to play the ball with defenders on the floor - Atkins. When BMM skittles players he then takes an eternity to play the ball and is often on an edge - surely BMM ould be better doing that in the middle to exploit the way he bends the line for Clark to run off.
We have still not learnt that whenever there is a PTB that is reasonably quick that the fullback needs to push through with Clark.
We don't appear to have looked at the strengths of the players and adapted our game to maximise their abilities.
Maybe I just can't see it and if anybody can come on here and tell me what type of team we are or where we are heading then I will happily admit I am wrong.'"
you have pretty much nailed it. It's very hard to see what he is trying to achieve.
While we have to remember he inherited a complete mess from Smith, he has signed plenty of players and he has styled this group now.
What really confuses me is the forwards.... Apart from Hill and Cooper, we have no one that measures up... They are either plodders or 'impact' players, that dont do enough work and seem to have very little impact... The pack is weak and devoid of go forward.
Hughes
BMM
Tasi
J.Clark
Aka
Davis
Currie (although this may be a harsh inclusion, until we see him back to the player he was, he is a passenger)
If the club suddenly announced the departure of any of the above, would you really be bothered?
