| I would like him to consider changing the way some Hull players tackle an opponent.
I am alone in not being impressed @ the present time with the tackle 'around the chest' method. I am aware that maybe the thinking is, in this way one can prevent the opponent from passing the ball. It seems that this method has by adopted by many [not just Hull players].
From my obsevation this does not always work & opponents seem more & more to be able to continue 'going forward' [in some cases] for quiet a distance before a third player is needed to complete the tackle, by 'going' for the opponent's legs. On some occasions the opponent is still able to pass the ball to a team mate & in doing so defeating the object of the tackling around the body principle.
I prefer that were appropriate opponents are 'brought down' by a good 'around the legs' tackle or, having an opponent being tackled by @ least two players, one taking the legs & the other the opponent's body [& were practical @ the sametime]. This hopefully would prevent opponents gaining further 'ground'.
This may have prevented @ least one try @ Castleford when our players went 'high' & failed to stop an opponent.
It may not be high on the priority list but in my opinion it may help our team in the future.

| Quote: airliebird,runninglate! "Between him and AP at least we're looking better in a long term sense. Young players having a shot e.g. crooks lineham etc. Even signings looking to add young players he can mould. Thomson, and been hearing we've signed griffin from our neighbours.
I think we've had no continuity in our combos, halves, entire left, that's gotta effect fullback linking. Injuries been fairly harsh again. That said though was expecting more.
We're gonna have to find our form as fast as we lost it or seasons gonna be a real let down.'"
Well summed up.

| Not an FC fan and I have only seen derbies and Sky games. For what it's worth, you have some very good players, but they are not playing as a team. That is down to the coach. All players need to know their roles and responsibilities and it seems to me your players don't have a clue. You are all knocking Ben G but he was your best player on Monday night. You need a no nonsense prop and Mickey P will fit that bill, but don't expect him to play for you like he plays for us: Peter Gentle is no CS.
