That's how I saw it too, although haven't seen the video.
Have they shown the "push" that stopped a break and likely try for us early in the first half ?

I would like to be pleased with a positive performance but how on earth the coach can justify picking Liam Hood is beyond me, Bowes is far superior in every aspect of the game. Hood is the worst number 9 we have ever had. I would love to hear his explanation for picking him, he is slow, his passes are inaccurate, he looks overweight, his defence is poor, he literally offers us nothing at all.

Bowes and Kay at 9 would be far better

It’s no wonder we are stuck at the bottom of the table when we keep signing players from the championship like Hood, Pitts, Battye, Kay, Morgan Smith, Alex Walker etc and on top of that appointing the cheapest option for a head coach.

You clearly don't watch the same game as me if you think Pitts and Kay were poor signings.
Smith was always intended to be back up.

And weren't Walmsley and Ritson from championship?
It's about the player not where they come from.


Ultimately the problem in my opinion this year are our high earners not the low earners. If our overseas players were as good as previous years we'd have been fine this year.

What happened to the signings from the World Cup which was the reason given for our lack of early recruitment

I’ve watched it a number of times again and I see Fifita pulling down on shoulders. The KR player pulls his left arm over fifita’s face/arms to try wriggle out then drops with Fifita pulling down which is probably where Fifita copped an arm. There really wasn’t much if anything in it at all and if it was play on nobody would have batted an eyelid.

Still I don’t see anything wrong with it myself and live it looked fine too.

Doesn’t matter now as we have to beat Salford or I think it’s going to be too big a hull to climb.

We signed Atoni and Langi. Surely you know this.

Watching from the East stand last night i said to my mate that it unfortunatly looked like you was goung to get another heavy nilling, because at 22 nil down youd not really offered anything, but i think that try late in the half gave your lads a bit of hope, and they obviously came out second half and really troubled us, not only troubled us but played some good off the cuff rugby too, maybe Rovers had put the cue on the rack who knows. I think you need to take that offoading heads up style into every game from now on.
Secind half both Gale and Dagger really shone, that should be your hb pairing, and despite his sin binning, big Fafita was absolute quality, hes still a wrecking ball.
I really hope you can get a few more results to make it interesting.

Which World Cup team did Atoni play for or was even in the squad.

Scarlett, as well you know it isn't just black and white like you try to imply.
Maybe we waited and then decided they weren't good enough or didn't want to come.
Maybe we made connections that got us other people.

If I went back on all the things you said and picked fault in hindsight I'd be here all day. It's just the same.

The problem has not gone away.
The coach picked Liam Hood.
He shouldn’t be anywhere near the 21 man squad.
It’s not that difficult to,work,out.

Agreed, thats how i saw it. He also then gave Kendall some verbals that didn’t help his cause. Yaha shouldn’t have been sin-binned for them either, his arms were clearly wrapped around Jowitt’s body. It was just a good hard hit. The obstruction was a harsh call though i thought.

Seems like they made an effort so I won’t knock them but if we’d done the same earlier in the season we might not be where we are now.
It’s a massive ask now to get out of this hole and I’m sure behind the scenes they’re hoping for the best but I hope preparing for the worst.

It looked to me like Fifita had an arm under Seniors, and an arm over his shoulder
Senior spins in the tackle and catches Dave with a bit of a Muay Thai elbow.
Dave not like, Dave a bit overly rough with the take down, then drama lama protests from HKR.
I don't think he had him by the neck, I also don't think Senior is the type of player that would throw an elbow on purpose, its just not his MO at all, and I don't think it was a yellow card, but then I didn't see much in the Yaha card either.
