| Quote Dave K.="Dave K."I didn't go on Friday, had to go away.
How many trys has Talanoa cost us this year, he is slow, poor defensive reads and is awful under the high ball. A faster winger would have scored some of the trys he has just missed out on scoring as he is too slow off the mark.
There is no doubt his carries are strong and it will be missed, but we have a great set of forwards who should be doing that, our backs do far too much work in our own half.
I prefer to see a winger that is quick, can catch a high ball and will finish a chance if given an opening, I dont think Talanoa is good enough is a good enough alround winger.
If we are playing him, just to make yards then we have it all wrong.'"
To be fair Dave we dont have a winger or centre in the club who is good under a high ball.The best of the bunch is Michaels.
Our kick receive to the corners is very poor and all clubs hit us with that tactic and get results.

The comment is true though.
I just cant see how anyone can support having Yeaman in the side .He offers absolutely nothing.

| If its possible injury wise i would like to get back to the team we started the season with.
Starting props Watts and Taylor with Manu and Mini and Thompson at 13. Ellis and Pritchard off the bench
Tiumavave back to centre with Talanoa on the wing
half back is the problem and for this game i would play Washbrook at 6 which means we can have both Green and Bowden on the bench
Sounds as if its too early for Fonua so i guess Radford will go for Logan again although when Fonua is fit he should come in at centre.
Lets get back to our Backing up and offloading game.
I think we will beat HKR but Warrington will be a different animal with their speed and offload game.
A lot of Warrinton offloads go to ground and if we are quick we can pick off some of those.
Maybe the game for HTW or Dean to come in.Two tired teams from tough derby matches

| Washbrook on the halfs? This cannot be serious, such a negative move, he played there a few games before which was some of the worst rugby I have seen as a Hull fan. We have 3 young halfs and Carlos, so to play a forward there who has previously failed would rank up with one of Radfords worst decisions. He us doing well off the bench, leave him there.

Totally agree. He only started at stand off twice for Wakefield and both of thise were three years ago.
Crazy idea.

| Washbrook has been one of our most consistent performers this season, I wouldn't move him and before I get lambasted by a few who don't like him I am not saying he has been a world beater but he certainly hasn't let us down.

I did say FOR THIS GAME singular.The reason, it allows Tiumavave to return to centre hopefully to partner Talanoa and that gives us a bigger attacking threat on the left especially when Pritchard comes on.It also allows us to add Chris Green to a bench of Ellis,Pritchard and Bowden.
I understand what you are saying about Washbrook but this is a very important game for the club and fans and in my opinion gives us a stronger line up to do the job.
I went on to say that the Warrington game may be the one to bring in HTW or Dean which although tough a fresh young half could take advantage of two tired teams after tough derby matches and latch onto some of the Warrington offloads that go to ground.
