its not the first time this season Gale has let us down with drop goal attempts
He is just not the player we saw at Cas where he had a great short kicking game.and nailed drop goals.
We have seen nothing like this from him

Five penalties given away today on the first tackle in the opposition 10 relieving all the pressure and giving them a leg up field.
Fans think we are unfit yet the amount of unnecessary extra defence we put on ourselves from penalties,errors and six agains is the reason not the fitness.
One thing is now certain Gale and Reynolds both need replacing.
Hodgsons signings so he needs to accept the responsibilty and we dont need to know how good Gale is around the club.Get rid and leave him to his TV appearances with channel 4.'"
In regards to the penalties I seriously question the performance of Griffiths in the way he officiated. Our first try was a mile forward yet he awarded it and then seemed to spend the rest of the game making up for that error. The 6 agains I fail to see how Wakefield were doing anything differently to us to give so few away in comparison. He let Wakefield get away with 2 knocks before finally giving the decision on the 3rd one
The game should have been over at halftime but in true Hull FC style at Wakefield we tend to find a way to lose. Once Connor went off any threat from our halves evaporated.
Not sure why Mau was brought off unless it was he’d picked up an injury.
Serious questions now need to asked about Gales future at the club as when needed he failed to be the guiding hand to control things in the second half. Epitomised by the poor set up and execution of the drop goal attempts after great work to get in range.

Have you watched Trueman?
He's the standout in a poor Cas team, go check his try and assists record. Would bring alot to our team definitely. He's playing behind a poor pack and still producing

| We need creativity with ball in hand, Reynolds isn't producing it. Put Lovodua back there. We're also lacking direction and quality kicking from 7, question is where do we find that from?
I think Hodgson has to make a call on Gale, its once again another game he's simply not done what he was brought in to do. Do we try Hookem there as its the teams biggest problem when looking for a solution.
I think we tidied up the penalties lately with some good solid home wins, unfortunately it reared its ugly head again today, hopefully Sao, and Carlos are back as I'm still not sold on Scott and Wynne who sounded very ropey today.

I think that’s unfair to say that Scott & Wynne sounded ropey as they were both pretty solid. Thought Scott played well considering he’s been out a while, Wynne was a menace at centre and stood in at FB after being moved there when Connor went off.
The kicking from both Reynolds and Gale was poor in particular Gales. We do not seem to possess any grubber kicking ability or use it as an option to turn the opposition and maintain pressure.
We could probably give Gale & Reynolds until Xmas but sadly wouldn’t see much improvement. If we are to seriously push from here we need to replace both of them for next season. We also have to stop flogging Houghton for 80 mins every week as it’s a bigger minus than a plus doing it. As good as Lovodua has been personally thought today wasn’t one of his best games. We h

Every time Cas made a break/half break he wasn't too far away.
Peach of a ball for Edens try yesterday too.
I was sceptical about his signing but I think he'll be a breath of fresh air. A proper running/support playing half

Wynne was playing well until moved to full back and from there had a nightmare.
Hodgson slow to respond to this but instead of moving Griffin to full back where he has played before and Wynne back into the centre he shuffled it around and moved McIntosh to full back.Wynne after this was mouthing off at some of his team mates so dont be surprised if he is missing for the next game.
If Carlos is not fit then i would bring Mitch back to right centre and play Lovodua at 6 which tightens up the defence and where we have seen the best of Lovodua up to now.
Jamie Shaul to full back and leave McIntosh on the wing.
Not the game to see Gale removed but in reality he needs to be replaced

Absolute great point he's playing behind a underperforming pack, although I don't think he's the ultimate answer to moving us to the next level, he'll certainly be better then reynolds

It is because he is not the player he was that you were able to sign him. Both our clubs have made the mistake of signing has beens. We seemed to have learned the futility of that approach. At least I hope we have.

| Just unacceptable inconsistency and really disappointing for the Hull club and for SL - a five way scrap at the top of the table would be great for the comp after three years of only one or two teams being in contention.
It looks like it's all there for Hull on paper, particularly if you can recruit some speed into your playmaking positions. But I would be doing a comprehensive check of the coaching market if I were Adam Pearson. Would Tony Smith be unacceptable to the Hull fans? What about Shaun Wane after the WC?

We've not appointed a head coach with head coach experience since Peter Sharp 2006-2008. Basically a job training scheme since then. Agar, Gentle, Radford, Last, Hodgson. The first four all gone on to great things, obviously,
