Seems they've found a new scapegoat.

Always need one don't they.


Think some people forget how good Hoy was in the first 2 games.

People also neglect to mention Hoy is only fb in SL who was willing to take regular hit ups from his own 20

Litten is clearly going to be a superstar but he’s not the finished product. His one try assist came from making the wrong decision, we had that stupid offload that went 20m behind that attacking line and he got caught on 5th in an attacking area. All in one game where we were dominant

We certainly look more balanced with Hoy in the side and now the pack is looking better Hoy should thrive

Maybe that tells you something. Other clubs don’t see that as the role of a fb? The FC game plan is wrong? He does ot because some who should do it don’t or are not good enough? What is certain the other 11 first choice fbs will not be ducking out of that part of the gams of their own volition. Coaches would not accept that.

Two problems for Wigan might present an opening for Hull if they build on the Huddersfield performance. 1) We have too many forwards out for it not to hurt us - Cooper, Singleton, Ellis and Isa missing on the back of the Bateman transfer at the start of the year. Harvie Hill and Junior Nsemba are great prospects but still very early in their development so may struggle against some of the bigger Hull forwards. 2) Our defence has been winning us games (conceding only 6 points in each of the last 4) but our attack has suffered without Field and Cust. Shorrocks has done well providing a solid link but we're nowhere near as dangerous with him there. Hampshire is playing in the reserves today and has scored a try and shown some nice touches (half-time as I type). They could decide to throw him in but either way our attack definitely won't be free-flowing.

Well I doubt the England training match took a great deal out of the players on Saturday .

You play a depleted side Wigan at home on Thursday not away.
Can’t see anything beyond a big win for Hull, with a huge attendance and players playing out of their skins for a new contract.

Put the bottle down Keith.

Still getting over us winning a game

yet won't acknowledge Saints were depleted when they beat them at caravan sewage park

21 man squad announced and no Jack Brown even without Evans not likely to be with the club any longer. Seems Brown is either not up to speed in training or is not a player than Smith wants.
Good to see Trueman finally named hope he goes well.
