I think one of the biggest factors with performances this year is the constant change of lineup.
Due to injuries and suspensions we've barely, if at all, had the same 17 on the field in consecutive games. That lack of consistency has to have an impact on performances.

Absolutely agree, I think we have done fantastic to be 5th with the amount of injuries we have had this year.

Would be great to see our first choice 17 but that will have to wait until next year with Bowden out for the year.

It's pretty frustrating the injury issue isn't it, our relegation season in 16 we had blair and marsh as our half backs a lot of the time due to injuries - at least you have a decent back up system in place. The fortunate thing is, bar St's every team has had or is going through a similar experience. Really shows now how much of a squad game it is

Anyhow, do us a favour tonight. They play anything like last week you will put 30 on them - half backs are garbage and i don't think brough improves them that much

I’ll be amazed if there isn’t a reaction from them after last week.
We also need to up it from last week. Difficult with the ever changing line up and players being jabbed up.

The game is on sky sports mix also so if you haven’t got sky sports your in luck

Think them having Brough back might actually be an advantage for us with Jake. I'm pretty sure he will get under his skin during the game

Hakim Miloudi, Bureta Faraimo, Cameron Scott, Carlos Tuimavave, Jack Logan, Albert Kelly, Jake Connor, Mickey Paea, Danny Houghton, Scott Taylor, Dean Hadley, Mark Minichiello, Chris Green

Danny Washbrook, Masimbaashe Matongo, Brad Fash, Jack Downs.

My lord, how poor is that bench?

"That's as good as a 40/20 from Hull"

WTF is he talking about 40/20s for?? We kicked it on the 10 metre line....

how poor are we in the opposition 20.
Its an area we never improve on

Talk about milking a penalty by Brough.

Oh no..

First time in our 20 and they score.
Make a note Radford

Times like this that I remember the Hull supporters who said we'd be a better team with Kelly-Connor rather than having Sneyd at scrum half.

Passing speed is just so slow,and considering how slow we do actually pass it half of them aren't even that accurate. We also attack with a distinct lack of depth near the line.
