| Got to also factor in stuff like confidence, when the players are playing well stuff comes off, players are not as cautious, a few of us were saying on Friday the players looked scared - not just of the opposition but of each other and themselves, scared of making mistakes which inevitably leads to more being made.
Saying that i cannot nor will try and defend some of the pathetic attempts at tackling i saw, science will tell you that if someone has 10-15 metres to run in they will pick up speed meaning they are going to be faster than you when you are stood still waiting for them and then have the speed and power to get past you when all you do to try and stop them is to try and grab a hold of their shirt, you will simply not stop anyone doing that,as it proves time and again.
Attack wise we're not too far off with the amount of points we are scoring, Cas apart most teams are around 100-150 points scored (we're on 124, there's 3 worse than us) but defensively we are terrible, surely every professional rugby league player knows how to tackle it's a basic of the game, so why are they not doing it? they know they HAVE to do it so i don't accept this is a coaching problem as players shouldn't need telling they have to tackle.
Why are we so soft in defence? that is our downfall in my eyes, sort that out and confidence will rise leading to players playing with less tension and hopefully an all round improvement in performance.

| Quote: GIANT DAZ "Either that or the players need to 'do a Hull'.'"
I think DAZ, as TBC has suggested a bit of encouragement is needed to bring that about.

| The players looked totally shot after the Cas game, especially Jerry who was last to leave the field. If that embarrassing defeat does not inspire much better from the team and the individuals then not sure what will. Perhaps a KD rocket or the players "doing a Hull" is absolutely what is needed - something needs to happen to shake things up.
As for RS we need to give him time. He needs a full season to be fair. Remember how many Hull fans wanted Radford out then they went on to great things. My frustration with things currently as with many others is with our team efforts to get a quick PTB in attack, and our line speed in defence. We are getting bullied and dominated which has to change if we have any chance of making progress.
Success for me this year will be making the top 8 - finishing the year in the middle 8 but avoiding the MPG would be acceptable as a last option. I really would fear for us in that MPG against whoever.

| Great isn't it when the world of twitter know who is in the 19 man squad before players - I think a little bit of an improvement in communication with your staff might inspire a few to work better for you. At 17.30 2 I know of hadn't been contacted, so there are probably more. I hope they have told at least 17 before the match
