True but i also didn't expect us to defend like an east hull team

Rovers?

Those 3 games have done us in points difference wise, We have shown strong defence at times, in big games I think we would be ok.

But I agree our left defence needs work, Carlos or Connor there will improve that plus a new backrower.

He should have switched around mini and Hadley last night which would have I proved things

Callum Watkins got a yellow for the same style tackle and sending off sufficient at the later disciplinary.

Fingers crossed then. Pretty sure in didn't land on his head or neck and he got straight up

Minichello would have been subbed had Manu not aggravated his arm injury but we all know his defence is poor.
Jamie Shaul should also make more effort to bolster that left edge

Agreed, Sneyd is not a strong defender but that is hardly unique in a scrum half but he needs strong defenders either side of him.

The problem is he doesn't and other teams know it and are setting up to attack that area.

Carlos and Hadley seems best bet for now. Mini been a great player for us and still plays with great energy but having him and Sneyd stood next to each other is asking for trouble!

its not our fault , you have a east hull coach ,in the past you have had a lot of east hull lads playing for you , maybe the reason its gone down the pan

You slagged of Bureta last night, singling him out, whilst his positional sense is poor, he often is isolated, due to Griffin similar weakness in defence, admittedly Bureta can’t decide to stick or twist at times, and everyone can see it, but you have already rubbished our incoming winger “Swift” before he has arrived, it’s so negative.



As for Jackson Hastings, he has the ability to attack both edges, as he did last night with cross field kicks, and Louis running threat, we would have needed four Buretas to stop Pauli.

Salford are a decent team, they nearly pinched it, but we prevailed, and a try which will live long in my memory from Ratu was worth the rain soaked journey.

And pizzin wet through again this morning queuing for our Semi Final tickets.

Hope you’ve dried out.

Should have waited, there was no q at 3.30 when i went

Glad we agree about swift and faraimo

Exactly. To be in the top 5 and Cup semi final given our injuries early on is terrific. There'll always be something to complain about - we only ever score from Sneyd kicking to Talanoa, right? What a way to exist

Lol.


I was speaking to James Clarke in the ticket office, I asked what was the situation with Ratu, he said “ he had an option for a further year, but since he’s turned to league, it’s a difficult negotiation with the British Army, and now the RFU are apparently showing interest”

What? I'm not your Microsoft Excel bitch.
