why do we always wait for the last tackle! annoys me that we don't take the option to go for the drop earlier

Just see it as a bonus that we actually complete a set.

We said the same, Miller was set to drop one on 4th in the set before he made an attempt. Was a poor attempt, as well!

We have always been a cack DG team, however im more concerned that with 6 games left were are 200 points off where we should be

We might be cack in this century but back in the 70s to mid 80s we had plenty to choose from...
Bob Gaitley..now he could drop goals..got 9 for us in 15 (+5sub) appearances, did loads for Hunslet too. Tony Dean was pretty decent, Crooksy (Snr.), Knocker as mentioned, Mick Crane, Divorty & Brian Hancock/Chris Davidson back in the 70s
Garry Pearce is the top Hull FC DG kicker, (equal record of 14 in a season 88/89) we could do with someone like him, he'd get us half a doz 40/20s a game I reckon

Im sure someone will correct me if wrong as I only saw the last 20 mins of game but didnt the team once drop multiple goals in the John Payer replay at Leeds, Im thinking 5 bt feel that may be too many

Brian Hancock kicked three in that game.

Our whole league is pretty poor for DG's IMO maybe Briers aside. I remember watching Benji Marshall and then Thurston both kick ones from beyond the halfway line ( one was out on the touchline) in the same match, pretty much for a laugh as it was before half time!

We don't drop goals because we don't have any real leadership on the pitch. The last set against wakefield was a farce

If the situation requires a drop goal then the player who is going to be kicking it should be getting it set up from tackle 1 in the set but we always seem to decide to do it at the last possible second when the previous tackle is outwide somewhere. The Saints away game earlier in the season is a perfect example of how unprepared we are to make game changing plays.

At last somebody other than me that agrees Mr Houghton aint half as good as we make out. Easily the most overrated player in SL for me. He can tackle, but apart from that, as stated his decision making and distribution are at the very core of our frailties.

Too true. I was calling for it so vociferously on Sunday that I looked like a much younger and infinitely more attractive Stevo. You could see it wasn't on anyone's mind until the last play, by which time it was too late.

And that was only in the 2nd set of the 1st half.
