You need your work horses, and he will give 100% every game. Players like that is why hudds have been more successful this season.
Your big name players just didn’t perform. Connor was too busy trying to con a penalty every set than trying to create anything (someone should tell him he missed the BAFTAs) and Gale is- well just gale. Never rated him and biggest mistake you made was swapping sneyd for Gale IMO.'"

i agree with most of what you say, apart from claims any hull fan hates Danny H is false . i have been a critic of how Danny has been flogged by every coach during his career often negating any attack skills he had/has ? he is and will always be a club icon the criticism you hear from fans is frustration at how he is used not how he plays imo

Interesting comments about Houghton and good to know what opposition fans think.

Slight exaggeration re Connor though. I understand opposition fans dislike him greatly but he wasn’t trying to win penalties at every set d040.gif
He certainly wasn’t when he passed out to Swift, who dropped it whilst in the clear, when he kicked upfield or was catching the ball above his head?
His problem is his lack of pace. Don’t know if he has lost a yard or is another carrying a slight injury but he was very slow at times. Wasn’t the only one though.

One incident that annoyed me during the match was the penalty against us for breaking up the scrum. It was quite clear Hill was never packed correctly and pushed forward breaking well away from his own pack. Why the ref saw that as a penalty against us is beyond belief?

Exactly there's no hate for Houghton its the opposite, most of us have simply stated that Houghton is at the latter end of his career and flogging him for 80 mins doesn't benefit him or the team. Which is why many of us are so frustrated that he is still expected to do 80mins week in week out, he may be one of the fittest but not spelling him for me reduces his effectiveness in games as when we need to rely on him he's out of gas and that not his fault thats down to the Coach. Houghton isn't the player he was as age is catching up with him but he was certainly far better when he was spelled under Last and no one would argue he'd was in the 17. Its much like Roby at St's great player who used to do 80 mins every week but St's see the value of spelling him in games rather than flogging him.

I didn’t particularly think houghton looked that tired, not as tired as some of the others - and they did less work! I think he’s capable of 80 if he isn’t doing the work for the rest who should be doing more.
Connor was trying it on at times, you just have to watch him, constantly chirping at the ref and waving his arms around - frustrating as he doesn’t / shouldn’t need to he should let his skills do the talking. It’s not an injury - his lack of pace has ALWAYS been a down side to his game, something discussed many times when he was at Hudds. brilliant half backs may have and use that pace initially - but inevitably they lose it later in their careers and so have to adapt- clever players like briers and brough did that. Connor never had it in the first place so you’d think he would learn to adapt and use his other many skills- but despite no longer being that raw youngster anymore he was when at Huddersfield he just doesn’t seem to have done that. I think much of that is down to poor coaching, he was just emerging as a talent and then went to Hull and was never given the chance to settle into one position and really learn to perfect his craft at a crucial part of his development, and so has just always ended up “winging it”. That’s why we have the Connor we have.

jools still obsessed with Connor after all these years.

I'm sure most will remember your hilarious dummy spitting when he signed for us.

Just can't get over it, can they.

Jake has developed excellently at Hull, won a trophy and capped by England.

Not saying he doesn’t try it on but you said he was doing it every set? He did it a couple of tImes yes. Plus it works both ways. Players do go too far at times trying to wind him up and he gets little to no protection from the referees.

Interesting to know he had little pace when playing at Huddersfield. Don’t remember him being this slow but it probably shows up more at full back.

As for position. My understanding is we signed him to be a half back and it his preference to play full back. I’d be rethinking that decision if I was him.

He was flirting between halves, FB and centre whilst at Hudds, but still relatively young and a raw talent. He’s continued doing that and has never really had the opportunity to really cement himself in a single position. I honestly think this is one of the reasons why he hasn’t got that consistency everyone keeps going on about. He still has that raw skill and talent that can do amazing things on the field but hasn’t developed the depth of knowledge and experience and maturity to his game that is developed from playing in one position week in week out.
