We cant utilise our edge runners, as our 6 is playing on the right side, to compensate for Shaul's inability as a pivot.
Normally , the 6 plays left edge, 7 plays central, then the FB joins line to play on right edge. So the left edge backrower,wont get decent service, as there is no left pivot.

I did, we played a lot of gash rugby then 2, we just got away with it more, with better players, a younger manu, mini and ellis, but we at least played with an intensity and a look of togetherness, that's gone and our tactics have been well and truly sussed

I didn't want this thread to drop off the first page

Dont worry its almost like Radfords gone Director Of Rugby now Purthills come in - hes slowly going imo

in your dreams maybe, he aint going anywhere, imo

What utter, unsubstantiated nonsense.

How about we let this thread go (for now) get behind Lee, the new coaching staff and players?

There may be time for this thread to come back, but now is now the time.

We have had two disappointing seasons (Could have been worst), but we have addressed the squad (Best squad since we started SL IMO) and the coaching staff (With more to come), so let’s give Lee and the team some backing rather than focussing on the negatives of last season.

You must be so so desperate for your negitivity fix in the off season

so, comparing the Browns, who have won little, to Hull FC who have achieved quite a lot?

The definition of an anachronyism.

I put my trust with the man who has his hand in his pocket. Do I like Lee, no, do I think he is a SL coach, no. BUT he is what we have. If I won the Euro, would he be anywhere near the club, NO, nor would Last, Ellis, Yeaman et al.

BUT I remember the days of not knowing if we would exist.

A toe in the past is akin to a foot in the grave.

LR is like an itch, you can't get rid, but the more you itch goes one of two ways, keep itching and it grows, ignore it and it might just go away.

Pedantry trap!

Like outmoded nepotism?

You can't exrend a contract that doesn't exist?

Griffin
“Having seen his side fall away at the backend of the 2019 season, missing out on a play-off place on the last day, Griffin feels FC lacked the mindset of a big club and that’s something they can’t afford not to have in 2020, particularly with the quality of the squad“

Quite alarming

Not really, something we notice when we attend games. Top sides are ruthless, consistent. We seem to get above our station if we win a few games on the trot, or we think we can win a game by playing a solid 20 minutes
