Warrington v Hull FC Friday 4th September 20:15

Quote: Chris71 "For me the loss to Warrington just showed more evidence that for far too long Hull FC coaching has relied on individual player talent rather than implementing and instilling playing structures into the team ethos. Its clearly evident that once we lose a couple of key players we struggle in game situations as we just do not look like an organised team and it the fall back is back to individual play, When you look at St's for example they can lose a number of key players yet the still play to the same style and structure and players that come in slot in as though they are regulars. This just doesn't seem to happen with Hull as it just looks like they've never played together.
This is another reason why we are probably so inconsistent as we rely on the performance of individuals rather than the sum of the components in the team.

The philosophy has to change and Last as interim and/or whoever will be the Coach needs to put proper structures in place so no matter who plays we have purpose and a clear idea of what we are doing in the 80 mins.

I seem to remember something Peter Gentle said while he was here in an interview about something along these lines in that the players we had at the time were struggling to grasp what he was asking them to do and change the way we play and just wonder if this is what he meant and was trying to change.'"

100% spot on.
