We conceded only 1 more penalty than them!!!
Thats not the reason we got beat so easily.

To be fair to Dowes he made 19 tackles in this spell, so it must have been the time that we didn't have the ball. Shocking going forward though. Compare him to Mike Burnett and looks as we have sent the wrong player on loan. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010 Can we swap?

If these stats are true - it makes for even more depressing reading. So we have the top off loader and top 'buster' - with that sort of ammunition we should be really hard to play against.

Imagine if we had a top coach, some one who could give us structure, more planned moves to add to the off the cuff, individual class we undoubtedly have. Some one who would recruit around our strengths as well as weaknesses. Hate to say it but with someone like Morgan in charge we would be a top 4 club now.

So have I, I thought he got a pretty hard time on here last year, but he was really poor Sunday. I think getting spelled has worked in the opposite way it would for someone like fitz as He doesn't offer any impact just graft.

I have said it before, I will say it again, most Hull FC players have plenty of talent and ability but far too many come with a 'flip' side!

Either too old; too injury-prone; not capable of enough minutes; inconsistency; too error-prone; too unprofessional; not specialised in a position; etc, etc, etc.

Say what you like about Rovers' squad but man-for-man, their players are more 'rounded'.

The vast majority of their players are 'the right age', fit, ultra-professional, disciplined, and settled in their position.

They may lack some of the 'X factor' of Hull FC but, ultimately, the Rovers approach to recruitment is the best way!
