Max Wood can play.

If he does I would think he would cover 13 maybe? It would be good to see him get a chance.

If anything was said about Max Wood I missed it so I'm not sure what the plan will be for him.

Surely we cannot reward 3 carries, 18m and 10 tackles with a continued place in the side.

I need to replay the match in full. When he wasn't holding the ball three times, and making those 10 tackles, where on earth was he? Does he have a side business selling sports caps and such?

Really happy with Walker though. I can see why Burgess thinks he can get the best out of him. I fully expected him to be outshone by D Clark against a weak London side, but the stats suggest otherwise.

Bullock isn’t going to be involved with Hull.
Something in his game that Sam won’t go into. He’s back at Widnes.

It would seem so. But Dudson's game is not exactly on point either. Unless we are all missing "the little things that go unnoticed".

No thanks.

With regards to Bullock, Burgess might just want him to get another game in with Widnes to up his fitness etc before considering him for the first team?

I'd put a bet on 38 of Ben curries so called 39 tackles were being the third man in.

If the deadwood of the playing group can’t put a decent shift in against this very depleted Hull team.. then surely Burgess would have pull the trigger on them and give some of younger players a run out

In his pre-season interviews, Dudson was saying how last year was a bad one for him because of off-field issues, but he was looking forward to a much better year in 2024. Round One was not a great start for him though, and we simply can't afford to keep carrying him. If he plays against Hull, it's surely 'last chance saloon' time?

He has signed for Hull KR for 2025.

I'd like to think Burgess will be this ruthless with dead wood like Dudson and Drinkwater but I won't believe it til I see it.

Burgess’ NRL coaching career and future hinges A LOT on his performance at Wire. I don’t think he’s going to be taking any prisoners regarding anyone getting in the way of any success.

Nice bit of interplay last week that led to the Dufty try & Lindop's disallowed effort was marginal. Could've have easily been a different result.
