Can they please focus on
Discipline !
Stop the bastud penalties
We saw this in the last game of the season v Dragons in the first half

We were on course to win the game then gave away 6 penalties as in 6 again etc
Dropped the ball 3 times as well and boom we lose the game by half time !!

We must focus on the small things - penalties 6 agains and drop balls !

Also touch finders must improve massively as they are a gift to you and we don’t use them !

The small things make the most massive difference
I watch Storm regularly and they are the masters of discipline

They complete at about 85% plus most game sometimes they complete every set until mid way through the second half and that’s the discipline we need

anyone notice a reduced number of first team pre season matches, looks like most teams (apart from the leeds/wakey boxing day money maker) are only playing once vs SL opposition

I wonder whether friendlies count towards the number of minutes players are allowed to play with the new rules coming in this year. Could be a factor potentially?

There's also the guarantee of Super League clubs playing a lower league team in the Cup as the first competitive fixture, so clubs may look at that as an additional semi pre season match.

It’s not a bad one. Will miss Catalan and Wigan should be ok the week after.

Not sure if the playing minute guidelines are the same as those proposed for 2024?

Those were primarily for forwards playing 25 games (totalling 80 mins) and backs 30 games, per season. Therefore, it is unlikely any player would get near those numbers when considering most forwards only play 40-60 mins per game, plus most players will miss a game or two through injury/suspension.

Remember reading the below article how a few players would have met the threshold this year. Will take some thinking about for some clubs, can you imagine a player being unable to play in a Grand Final because he's played too many. Probably not going to be a problem for us though, maybe one day https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ore-target

If Rapana is out, hopefully not serious, no issue with Moy starting at FB, have heard he is really impressing in training and some of the new overseas players have been shocked how good he has been.

Yes Moy will have a lot more experience and more quality around him this season, so JC can drip feed the likes of Moy, Martin, Barron, Charles, Jebson, Staveley, Westerman.

Cust and Sezer then

Who'd have thought that the injury prone abdul would be injured again? Is this the same knee injury that has plagued him in recent years? Who the hell signed off a marquee contract for him?

We all know that in a month or two we'll be getting him operated on. It should have been done when it happened

Not ideal, but good to have Cust, better than Smith and Brown at halfback.

its why catalan wanted rid and didnt want any part of him for 2025

this is classic JA and he will average 7-10 games if youre lucky

great player but riddled with injuries and ill self discipline
