Just think with the injury prone players we are waiting on and our senior players been a year older , that this squad will struggle . I don't want them to obviously , but looking at that 17 and even with players coming back , we have gone backwards last season and in my opinion will do so more, this season .

| I think Hull are lacking a ball playing fullback, for all of Shaul's qualities he doesnt assist many tries does he? In the modern game fb's are like a 3rd half back. I think if Radford had a bit of vision that Albert Kelly at fb would transform Hull's attack.
Instead of 5 drives and a kick to the corner or a barge over you'd have a player capable of spreading the ball out to the wingers like most teams do these days.

Or Connor. Either could work.
Early in pre season I was calling for Connor at FB and Shaul on the wing but I have given up on seeing that.

I don’t understand why scoring those sorts of tries is so bad? Every try counts doesn’t it?

Well yes, if you are actually scoring them. But if teams know that you have to rely on them then they become easier to defend. The more options you have the more dangerous you are.

I think with Kellys power and pace he'd be very good

I don't disagree tbf. The only issue is how he would adapt to the positional and defensive side of the game. Connor has played the position, I'm not sure about Kelly? But yes his pace, strength and ball skills would make him a nightmare to defend against when he comes into the line late.

Thats a Dream Team combination.
Only in the eyes of Radford im afraid
its one of the reasons why we need a new coach if he goes for Dawson on the wing and Griffin at centre.
If we sign Ratu he should play ahead of Dawson.More pace, better defence and strong going forward.
I would play Logan at centre and Miloudi in the halfs or on the wing.
Radford will go for four forwards on the bench so use Griffin off the bench as an impact second row.
I guess a lot will depend on What happens to Connor and whether we sign Ratu.

The thing is, I don't actually think Shauls asked to do those things , I can't remember to many scenarios where , shauls in a position to make those kinds of passes, surely if they trained everyday using those structures , Shaul could surely learn to do that. I'm not sure a change of fullback would lead to different results in our attack

I agree with most of that except that I think Scott has overtaken Logan now.
Shaul
Faraimo
Scott
Tuimavave
Ratu
Miloudi
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Paea
Hadley
Minichiello
Manu
Griffin
Matongo
Nzoungou
Thompson/Litten
I quite like that side but unfortunately the one Radford will pick will bare no resemblance to that.
