Quote The Hollywood Frasier="The Hollywood Frasier"The main thing on Sunday is trying to control Warrington's offload as all their good work comes off the back of a offload which inevitably leads to a quick PTB the next play and the last thing we want is Higham, Monaghan and Ratchford getting at a defensive line which isn't set.
Our kicking game should simply be kick it dead every single time IMO to hopefully make the game painfully slow and make them need to go 80 metres to score.'"

Substituted QLD for Warrington.
Put pressure on the Warrington tryline on any sets there by putting on back to back to back plays with real positive questions and multiple options NOT negative hold the ball attitude for attempted repeat sets.
Warrington eat this up and any time spent there without success becomes a negative for Hull FC and a positive to Warrington for their defensive resilience.
Smash this mindset and you are well on your way to the thing you want most – Warrington rattled!
There is no problem handing the ball over on their line if you have stretched them repeatedly with controlled and powerful questions. Those bombs to wingers need to be just short of the Line also for optimal and multiple good outcomes for Hull FC.
You don’t have to smash the brick wall down if you can find the window. Set plays are over-rated.
