I'd invest in a handling coach aswell .The handling skills at the club have been unacceptable for years .

I meant he should be played in positions he cannot handle (the coach's decision not the player).

I've attended many games thanks I'd wager that over the last 5 years probably more than you!!

IMO Tom is vastly overrated. He is not world class, he's just a very good winger.

He's always been poor under the high ball, he is poor defensively both with positioning and tackling. He's not actually THAT fast.

That said he is freakishly strong and shows some individual brilliance and skill.

Clearly has talent and potential but he has many things to work on before he's anywhere near world class.

You only need to go back to last week when he held up the Catalans winger over the line preventing a try, that was superb defence.

I'm embarrassed with some of the knee jerk reactions on here to a loss sometimes.

ONE, TWO if you count the one on Fox. I wouldn't struggle to find you an error he's made which has led to conceding a try. And that's not counting last night!!

The most fickle set of fans in world sport.

Wrong board, old chap.

I agree, the players definitely need some 'back to basics' sessions in the off season

I'm not blaming Gentle btw just saying that he is in charge of these performances so has to take credit/criticism just like the players do. I take your point on squad overhaul but there were only four players who are leaving us next year in that 17, that's not that many. Also if the players attitude is wrong isnt it up to the coach to spot that and ensure it's put right or they are not picked.

For me it was the sort of display that happens once a season and even normally reliable players made basic errors. I don't think they need driving off and dumping somewhere becuase of one game.

Would be nice to have that option, but at the moment we don't have enough players available.

Green could have played, Bowden and Kent?

Manu - Ripped Catalan a new one last week, completely inept this. One good then three bad this season. Been inconsistent throughout his career.

Turner - He's a future international you know!

What's your take on Manu leaving? As this sentence describes him perfectly.
Got everything you need, but doesn't do it week to week.

Maybe Shaul as well.

I agree with that and said it on another thread specifically about him. In his defence he can and has won many games virtually on his own and is an X factor player with an amount of freakish talent that can make a difference. When he's anonymous he's very anonymous though and the total absence of a second row for Hull against Widnes proves it. Wish he was staying as his good well outweighs his bad though.

If the Chase signing actually happens I expect to saying the same about him one or two years in.
