Hood for me has been one of the main contributing factors as to why we have been as bad as we have, everything about him is slow, his passing from dummy half is pedestrian at best and often lacks accuracy which just stifles any momentum we may have.

So at least we agree that Lino and Smith have a style, more than can be said about the team up to Leeds .If Gale gets in the team it will be a bad mistake Danny Brough ,Gaskell all failed,why because like Gale they are\ were to old and slow for S L .My Keighley mate ,said Gale was struggling to make a impact for them .

You are right, but you can't say Lino has no hand in it.

They all do it but I’d say Lino is the worst due to the amount of times he has the ball. I have previously made reference to the others. This can be remedied with coaching on play style.

You can’t say others do it to deflect from the fact Lino does it. That just means others do it too which is accepted and apparent.

The problem in the past has been everything goes through Lino … think that may be why hood chose the wrong option at Magic …. the ball had to go to him ! With Dagger n Smith it switched , opposition wasn’t sure which side it would go . Coach or players to blame who knows ???? But Sunday was a breath of fresh air !!!!!!

Your point is well made but not in this case. Definitely Hood mistake as sent it to Crowther

Everything used to go through Miller. Lino has only started being the leading half 2023 season and taken that responsibility. He’s never really had the responsibility until this season.

Who is or isn’t available for this ? Be a bit harsh to drop anyone am assuming gale hood Bowden Lino are available , atoni Taufau possibly obviously Salabio won’t be playing and that eseh and hewit will have served their bans.

Be interesting to see if gale comes in , personally would stick with bowes and Kaye at hooker, thought kershaw and French winger were excellent. Dagger to centre , Bowden /shaw for salabio other than that would leave rest where they are

Whitbread and Bowden coming back would certainly add something to the pack.

Is whitbread likely to be available , if he was and proctor continues where he left off think we ll give them a game

I dont know who is back available, but i read somewhere that there were possibly up to 12 coming back into contention for HKR.

If we go back to the old men ,we will have learnt nothing

Better leave Fifita out then.

And Pitts
