Chris Thorman infamously used to fail to find touch regularly in his awful spell with us! |

Offloading isn't the same as playing free flowing rugby is it.'"
Who said it was? You said: "We never take risks", offloading is a huge risk as you allude to in your post when you mention how, on Friday, they didn't come off. I'm not trying to say we play champagne Rugby, far from it infact, but to say we take no risks in light of those offloading stats just isn't true. |

Said the same thing, it's utterly ridiculous

Agar doesn't even know which players are best in which positions. Tactics appear to elude him. |

Does anyone think we (Hull Fc) actually practice these areas of the game? I for one fail to see how we can be so consistently crap in the fundamentals of the game: Kicking from the hand, passing off the floor, running lines and supporting the ball carrier are at times awful or just non existent. These are professional players with all the available resources and time to perfect even the slightest of weakness's in their own game or team play/plays.
You have to (yet again) ask the question, is it the individual that's at fault, the coaching staff, or both?

Indeed, I wonder who the rallying cry for Sunday will come from on Tuesday/Wednesday next week?

Agar seem to have a 'your playing in the halves - your kicking' attitude as if its an exact science that your kicker has to be your 6 or 7?!
Obst and Horne have never had kicking games so asking them to kick both short and long is suicide. As previous posters have mentioned Westerman, Whiting and Tickle all have superior kicking techniques. Why not leave it to them? They don't even have to kick from first man - if they are two men wide they can get deeper, give themselves more time, and draw the defence up giving them a bigger area to kick into. Simples, no??
