Watson has Hastings, probably the best player in SL at the moment.

Exceptional players is key positions make all the difference, a bit like how Warrington rely heavily on Austin.

I wonder how we would have fared if Kelly had played and was firing on all cylinders?

Hastings is by far the best player in super league (should really be going back to the NRL) he's magical the glue that holds everything together and dictates all the plays demands 100% from himself and everyone else, non negotiable, He's a winner and the single reason Wigan will sweep the board next season hopefully doing it for us first.

I reckon with your signings next season if you had signed JH you would be in with a shout of the big prize.

Now please don't take this the wrong way it's not meant to offend, but of all the things I've just said about Jacko look who you've got in the same position. (I don't want to diss the lad I like him he came through our system) but in RL terms Hull are a big club and when we sold him to you he was our fourth choice half back that's why we loaned him out to Cas for the season before, to date he's still your first choice halfback. I remember Koukash rubbing his hands when you came in with a big cheque for him he couldn't believe his luck. Sneyd is seven he should be running the show tbh other than his very good kicking game I fail to see what else he offers, and without a running organising 7 it doesn't matter how good your team is if no one is pulling the strings. actually he reminds me of another player that played for us that little playing for Leeds he will never worry any quality.

Maybe you need someone like Catalans signing Jimmy Maloney and then it might come together as it seems Radders is your man as long as Pearson is there !!

You played well on Saturday, and Hastings had a field day, no problem.

But it’s Salford who needs a new half I believe next season, this year I believe it’s 2-1 in our favour, and we’re content with our double Lance Todd trophy winner. If we can’t win the big prize, then I hope Salford can, I say that with respect, and without the need or class to attack any of your players.

Look I thought I said I liked the guy personally I didn't attack him I merely pointed out his deficiencies of which there are plenty, my point being as a big club maybe Hull need a better half , but if your ok with Sneyd then fair enough. As for us needing a new half there's nothing new in that we need a new second rower to replace Josh Jones as well as replacing Bibby/Griffin/Olpherts/Lui/Gleeson and others this happens every year, but I'm sure Watto will again turn a sows ear into a silk purse, just look at Tui Lolohea washed up at Leeds and already purring like a sports car.

Anyway good luck.

Exactly look at Lolohea, didn’t work for Leeds, but he suits you guys, you see we’re I’m going with this.

And good luck to Salford in the run in, if there’s one club who has come through adversity in past seasons and come out looking good it’s the reds.

.... IMO

The Salford fan was merely giving his opinion on Sneyd that's all, no malice or animosity towards him, our club or any other fan and then you come out with that, rubbing it in his face about victories and Lance Todd trophy wins.
It was you who was the aggressor and needs to learn some respect and class, not the Salford guy.
No need to be so defensive, protective and petty just because his opinion of Sneyd differs to yours.

I have to disagree about Sneyd, as long as he has a runner with him he is a very good halfback, he actually has improved his passing game this year and has set up far more trys this year with that part of his game. Also a big game player, as he has shown on many many occasions, he isn't in Hastings league, but who is, SL are fortunate to have him and he won't be here much longer. I wouldn't swap Sneyd for many other halfs in the league (If any, as we could have him for the 10 years compared to the likes of Austin or Hastings).

Probably in our top 3 players this year, but behind a beaten pack he will struggle, even then he can pull out a bit of magic like the 2016 cup final to get us back in the game.

Well done on Saturday and the season, just hope ypu can keep the it going next year, when some players move on.

Thankfully I was still enjoying the last day of my holiday so didn't have to witness yet another spineless capitulation by this so called team. Thank god we won't have the likes of green, litten, hadley manu and mini serving up dross like that again next year

And to be fair we didn't on Saturday either and that didn't make a blind bit of difference. Its a concern that these performances will still be happening no matter what the 17 is next year as non of the issues seem to be getting rectified in terms other than personnel.

We still such poor ball control, poor discipline, lack of desire to meet the opposition in defence from the ptb, static in attack, very little running on to ball (though we did it a few times and scored, then didn't bother) our last play options are poor the majority of the time, rely on the kick to the corner by Sneyd way too much so its too easy to defend as the opposition know whats coming.
Admittedly since Kelly has been out at least Sneyd has been running and taking the line more.

Yet again there's a piece in the HDM from DH pretty much saying the rhetoric and regurgitated flannel from the past season or two after these diabolical performances.

Stop pinching my lines, you little stalker you

none of them played jake
It was others serving up the dross

Erm, that was my point.

When was the last time sneyd had a top class game for us and how many times a season does he do it?

I’m more worried about shaul’s form, 6 tries, how many assists, not many I bet, poor return from fb. Sneyds the least of our worries, Just needs kelly back alongside him

Agreed. How many games has kelly played since the beginning of 2018?

Not enough, get rid of kelly, cash in on jake, and splash the cash on a quality 6. Sorted

He's played 35 out of 61.

Harsh on Lane for me, Kelly 6 Connor and Griffin centre. If Griffin was going to play 2nd row it would be Mini to miss out for me.

I'm surprised it's that many. Seemed to miss all of last year and most of this. We certainly miss him when he doesn't play but also has been obviously carrying an injury and not been at his best for many games

What was harsh on Lane?

Wakefield away, 11th Aug.

1 try, 1 assist, 2 40/20's.

Not knocking Shaul, but does anybody else think Connor Wynne should be given a chance? I know he has been banned for punching, but at least the lad has heart.

I like shaul and in the right system would be more effective, but is form is bad, Wynne deserves a shot to see if he can improve the performance of the team from fb

1 try and 1 assist is a top class game for a half back? No wonder the game is in such dire straits
