Washbrook might be a Hull lad, and a very good club man, but he just isn`t good enough at Super League level. A good Championship player, yes, but compare him to the half backs and loose forwards at most Super League clubs - he is not big enough, and/or certainly not quick enough. If we have to rely on him in a key position, we will never challenge the top teams.
Whiting should be loose forward. Yes, before you come back at me, I know he lacks genuine pace, but, he thinks twice as quickly as other players, has all the skills, and is big and deceptively strong.

I'd say Tansey played a big role ball in hand but does anyone on here really know the impact Washy brings without the ball in hand in attack?

He falls off tackles?

I just hope C Hall doesn't play, no matter how many injuries we have. Would rather have a reserve forward stood on wing as a blocking mechanism than C Hall's defence. Hall concedes three tries for every try he scores, therefore he is a liability no team can afford!

agars selection just baffles me totally,why o why play whiting on the wing when we have 2 youngsters waiting for a chance , yes he is a great player but he is never ever a winger , why play washy in the halfs when i cant think of one game him and horney have played well together, turner had two very strong games their and looked very strong , its the classic case of round pegs square holes . why play players eg whiting out of position just cos he is a good player , he needs his hands on the ball in the middle not stook defending on the wings , i asked james rule why we never blood youngsters en mass when faced with injuries , other teams do . yes they lose but we do and where are our kids . sat getting frustrated watching boring boring rugby and getting poached by the dark side . agar has to walk away soon for the good of the club. tonight i think we will get beat comfortably again and its a game we should be winning . i am totally fed up with excuses and agar .
