I think he is doing well in his very short spell he plays, he runs hard and make a break on Sunday (more than any other forward managed) he looked around to pass and not suprisingly there was no Hull player in site.

He does however need to play more, now I'm not sure whether that is down to his fitness or Agar.

He is doing well but you can only afford to have him on the bench if your not gonna use all your interchanges !!!!!

I agree he has gone reasonably well. In fact if we all think back this is how Willie Manu started with us. Sam needs more game time, he doesnt look as if he CAN'T play longer its he isn't allowed to by interchanges

after well over 35 years of watching MOST Hulls matches home and away i think i am allowed my own opinion

no one has to agree with it, but thats the team i would like to see play at the moment

And you expect two half backs who have never played together to gel just like that and be a success!

35 years and you are still clueless, are you on the board by any chance?

so slag him/her for picking a team and giving reasons for the selection. I've checked the thread and can't find your selection. so as you are so intelligent and are NOT clueless........put your team up and say why its the team you'd pick on friday please.

I await to be educated by your superior intellect

Here's my team from "changes for Friday " thread

Enough is enough for me. lets have 2 different half backs cos the two we have had all season aint doing their job and earning their monies (which we pay )

1 R Horne (potentially best full back in country, not living up to expectations as a half back)
2 M Calderwood
3 G Horne
4 K Yeaman
5 T Briscoe
6 R Whiting (give him chance to see if he can do better than Thorman and Horne)
7 T Lee ( give him a chance cos at least he plays with desire and passion to have a go and at least try to earn his money)
8 E Dowes
9 S Berrigan
10 J Thackarey
11 L Radford
12 D Tickle
13 D Washbrook

14 W Manu ( ffs give the man a rest to be more of a handful when he gets on. jesus you dont buy a rolls royce and go scrabbling in it do you? )
15 P Cusack ( to spell Dowes)
16 P King ( to spell Thackaray)
17 C Hall (Utility players to fill whatever gaps appear)

RESTED
Moa to get him fit by playing full games in reserves
DROPPED
Thorman cos he's like curry. only worth paying for if its hot and he ain't

I'd have Radford swapping left and right sides to spell Tickle and Manu as long as one of those two were always on pitch if not both.

may be drastic changing both half backs but we got everything to gain by finding two players that can do the job

8 games and no signs of the present 2 been good enough

1. R. Horne
2. Calderwood
3. G. Horne
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe
6. Whiting
7. Thorman
8. Dowes
9. Berrigan
10. Cusack
11. Radford
12. Tickle
13. Washbrook

14. Thackray
15. King
16. Manu
17. Houghton

Manu needs spelling so we have more impact from him. Thackray needs to come in for some impact too. Hall just won't cut it at full back and will get battered by the Rovers kickers on Friday. Whiting deserves a shot in the team, either at 6 or 13.

How would you cover the backs in case of an injury? Thats why i went for Hall on the bench

how many aussie ocker's in the team

Have people who are putting Lee at SH, never seen him play, he is awful there, thorman is far better at HB.

Lee has shown over the last couple of season that his best position is hooker, keep him there or not play him.
