It was back to the Agar days IMO. Clueless. 2 Houghton & Horne last tackle panic kicks were symptomatic of just how much we lacked ideas.

We need a top class halfback, Gentle hasn't any choice as these aren't the players he wants.

Interesting to see what he says here.

Not today, though. He was up against a young kid today and didn't impress IMO.

We were all over them for most of the game and through hard work won enough territory and possession to win 3 matches. We fought back from a 12 point deficit to lead. Discipline and error count were far superior to theirs. Great stints from Lynch, Tickle, Houghton as per usual.

The game was lost because of lack of creativity, which is why a half is top of Gentle's list.we should be pleased we earned so much dominance and frustrated we couldn't find one more killer pass. Other gripes were Turner shooting out of the line (yawn) and Russell leaving the ball to bounce every time.

Very honest from him, you sense as if he wants to spit it out "Lack of quality in the halves" lol.

too slow and predictable in attack, thought westerman and horney slowed it down too much, seymour tried hard but needs someone to support him. Russell doesnt join the attacking line like mckinnon but is only 18 as people pointed out

Agree with you there, i wouldn't have seen it, Maybe 6th or below.

And a win against Leeds, St's & Draw, Draw against warrington, Cant complain to be honest.

Will I get shot down if I say Westerman is a liability in our attack he's more of a forward, I would let him take up the odd run and get him out of the main attacks/plays.

Tooo slow way too slow.

His discipline is poor and he's lazy at times making the tackle, I think we did well without him when he was injured.

Westerman needs to be out wide, 2nd half of the season he looked excellent there.

Thought it was a poor performance with ball in hand. We looked completely clueless, Houghton seemed obsessed with 'dropping the ball off' to someone bringing the play back into the ptb. Seymour didn't seem to have runners on the outside of him especially when he came into play on the left hand side hence why he kept putting grubbers in. Horne was slow again with the ball and got caught with ball in hand numerous of times, and didn't seem to do anything. Westerman seemed to try as always, but didn't contribute to anything or produce anything.
And seems we have another fb currently at the club who can't catch a bomb when put under pressure.

Anyone know what is wrong with Sharpy?

I know it's not something we're used to as Hull fans, but possibly that was part of a gameplan, to take them on behind the play the ball with drop offs and short passes from the ruck?

That's not a positive, even if you don't rate him.



Neither is that.



And nor is that.



I'm also not seeing too much of a positive in our best player belonging to another club.

What you've listed are mitigating factors, not positives. Positives were in short supply today.

They really weren't today though, that's the problem. Take Roby out and they offered nothing, a decent side would have won by 18 or more.

Agree with everything but the Russell comment. He left it to bounce a few times, but he did also take a few on the full. Overall he was head and shoulder above his teamates IMO.

i like horne and stick up for him a lot, still think he can do a good job for hull as a squad player or even our fb for next year, but hopefully pg has another halfback lined up for next year,
