Quote Brian W="Brian W"Didn't see the drubbings by Wire or Leeds, so can't say. Certainly, Hull were clinical - in their first 10 visits or so to our 20, they either scored or forced a dropout or error every time.
Was sad watching Purdo putting in a real effort, being dragged down by the clowns around him - not sure if a single other player would get into another SL team, on current form.
9 tries conceded - didn't they all come down our right hand side where the chuckle brothers were defending?'"
Yes Purdo is class. When they try to tackle him he usually draws 3 players in and still often gets the offload away. IIRC a second half try resulted when he did this. It is not rocket science though - the other players just roll over for the opposition.
ChucKle brothers is right. I don't like to criticise young players too much but is no one telling O'Callaghan how to mark his winger? He seems to be always sucked inside leaving the winger a clear run at the line. The points he was directly responsible for must have gone into double figures. Clubb is becoming a real liability with his inability to tackle properly and its no wonder they target our right side. BM needs to take a good look at the video (coz the opposition is) and stop all our players drifting to the left
As for Danny Orr, if we can't find a decent half back for next season we are sunk!
Iv'e already said giving Gale a 3 year contract was a mistake and Ive seen nothing yet to change my mind.
BM has recruited a poor team who can't pass cant catch, cant kick has no initiative, will to win or guile.
Everyone is looking to pass to someone else to do something whereas no one individual wants to take control.
If we don't change the personnel, we will continue as we are. Hard to believe any up and coming coach would risk his reputation on this crowd of players.
