Well there are a lot of valid opinions on here which you dont agree with so i have to ask the question is it you that doesnt know anything about rugby?

Literally nobody has said that Carlos is a world beater just as nobody compared Josh Griffin to Mal Meninga.

Maybe not, but Carlos can do no wrong in most eyes. To say he was good Friday night, is a stretch for me.

Again, this is more hyperbole. Why do people have to exaggerate?

Carlos has been a great signing. Probably doesn't score enough tries but rarely would rate below 7/10. One of our most important players and in my opinion one of our best overseas signings in the Super League era.

Agree hyperbole, not to be taking literally, still I do think he’s a little overrated

Carlos never has had the pace or the footwork to be classed as a great signing, but boy he is still one of the best around, he’s no slouch mind, and in the clear he takes some catching, he has solid defensive qualities, and seemingly a superb team player and model professional.

Also when you see him close up in games he doesn’t half put a good hit on. Gemmel, Barnett, and Jimmy L were great centres,

Carlos falls in the Yeamo/Griffin category, mostly 100% effort every game, just missing that explosive spark to be classed as a great.

One of the best?

Er Well I'd say Jason Smith, Richard swain, Albert Kelly, Stephen Kearney, Colin best, Willie manu, Sam moa are definitely above him

Even Richie Barnett snr was far and away better than Carlos

He's good but he's never top class

I've never seen him rip top teams apart like names above could

I was agreeing with you until you said Sam moa... Really he was good to put him in the same sentence as swain Smith etc I personally don't think so
I like Carlos always a 7/10 performance wise I think if he was in a saints or Wigan team his game would rise another level bit like leutele never really rated him at Toronto but smashing it with a better team and better player's

Carlos, Connor and even Houghton aren't our biggest issue.

Halfback is the massive issue, Reynolds added another 6 missed tackles to his talley, I wouldn't mind if he offered anything in attack, but he is shocking, certainly one of if not the worst signings we have made in SL. I wouldn't play him again, we would gain so much more from playing Litten or Hookem.

Added to this Lovodua would whilst done a decent job at 6, it's not his position.

Gale has been Ok, but the bans haven't helped. He should be in this week, but if he doesn't perform, may as well not play him either.

Time to start looking to the future and trying out these bigged up youngsters liek Wigan and Saints would do and stop playing these under performing players.

If Hodgson can't see this, then he isn't the man to take Hull forward IMO.

It’s certainly a dilemma and one coaches have to face up to, damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Are the young lads fit? How long before McNamara’s back? I can understand the coach going for experience but as you say, Reynolds is shot and a very poor signing in my opinion. He shouldn’t be pulling on the shirt again. Gale’s another matter, we know there’s a player in there but brain farts have scuppered his season so far, then there’s the matter of wether the club are starving him of appearances, so he can’t trigger an extension, thought Cas fans had paid for those already!! I’ll get my coat.
The problem now is with Brad Fash missing and we don’t know how long for, his injury was described as a really bad concussion, I hope he’s ok and good to go but if not I’d like to see Lovodua at loose man and Lane into second row. Unfortunately that means, Reynolds and Gale at halves, damned if you do, damned if you don’t

No it isn’t.

Percival was in direct opposition to Mackintosh, who scored 2 tries!

Now I wouldn’t dream of trying to say Mackintosh totally outplayed Percival but for me Percival had one of his least effective games for Saints against us for some years. He’s usually been good for a try or two against us? So I don’t understand why you would claim a player in a different position totally outplayed one of our players?

Agree with everything you say there.

Only worry would be that when these young players make mistakes, and they are bound too, we have certain fans who will crucify them and write them off before their careers have got going.

Still I would plan for the future and play them as much as possible and let them gain experience and learn from the mistakes.

More or less spot on. IMO would like to see hookem in the halfs with Gale. Lovado at loose man.
