Even though we are still dissecting last night, I thought I would get us started on the the next game with a quote from GrixWe’ve got a longer turn around going into the Leeds game, so our sole focus is going to be defence. If you get yourself defending well, you get the ball in better areas and more possession – then we can worry about what we do with the ball in hand.'"

Sao and Brown back from suspension. Walker is playing around forty minutes for the reserves today so if he comes through OK he'll be back.

Scott will drop out though due to failing his HIA.

think we will have a couple of new additions in.

Scott no great miss IMO. If Oku gets a bit of confidence back maybe he gets another chance. Pele needs to get more involved.

I think Grix will address our line speed in defence, when you look how saints stifled us and limited our yards.

Also the lack og go forward and big bodys needs addressing, need upgrades on Scott, Mcintosh, Cator and Lane.

Ashworth back will help but that second row needs major work , as does physicality in the backs

At least a leeds win will mean they're not competing with us for a coach for another week

The good news is the pitch gets done after this, then in a case of SL dejavu it's Leeds at home again, such an exciting season

Before we've played Wigan once! (Probably a good thing given current performances)

Didn't Pearson say there'd be a couple of new faces in before the Leeds game? Hopefully he's true to his word and we have a new half and new second rower in.

Even with the best intentions, it's difficult to bring quality players into a struggling team part way into the season. Hopefully tomorrow and Tuesday will bring some positive news about both a coach and players. I know we could all do with some good news but I bet the team could do with it too. There's too many kids on the park at the same time right now and it's not sustainable.

Yes AP did state that there would be at least two more new players in for the Leeds game. Let’s hope eh!
New coach named as well anyone?
I doubt that, but let’s just dream.

Which is true, but when your fan base is already annoyed by poor recruitment, a head coach serving up abysmal performances, questions around whether the cap is being spent or not, you can't then make a statement that there will be new faces in by the Leeds game and not follow through with it, otherwise it just further undermines the trust your fan base has in you and further alienates/annoys them

I bought a bit of the wire v leigh game yesterday and thought how good it would be to watch a game of ours that was close and nit done by half time.

Can't see us bringing in much In terms of quality before the game

He didn't actually say that there would be guaranteed new signings by the Leeds game, but that they were trying to sign some in time for the Leeds game. Just extracted the quote from Hull LiveShopping in the NRL market at this time of the year is not easy, and the UK market is even more difficult, but we're relatively confident that in the next two weeks, we'll see one or two arrivals in the team, hopefully in time for Leeds.'"

We have seven of our own players back over the coming weeks so really dont see the point in short term loans/signings
Fans now know the situation and i would rather the club put all their efforts into getting some quality and hopefully a big name or two in for next season to get some excitement back into the supporters
