Sorry thought he'd played less - maybe cos he was invisible when he did play for us

Jones wont be here next season.Disaster of a signing.Bit like the RU signing Jones
Losing Ratu is a big blow but Swift is still a better wing than what we will have available next season
We all agree Connor has skill but as you say his defence is weak and he has no pace.Overhyped as a player for me but still like him as a centre because he has an ability to knock back high balls on last tackle plays which we seem to score from when he is in that position.

Just the 7 first teamers missing. Is Taylor Covid related or injured?

Shaul's defence on the line isnt great, I doubt he would have stopped any of those trys. Shaul will play though as he is undroppable.

My side would be

Connor
Naulogo
Fonua
Carlos
Faraimo
McNamara
Sneyd
Sao
Houghton
Brown
Savelio
Griffin
Bowden

Cator
Satae
Shaul
Bienek

I don’t know if you’ve heard anything about JJ leaving us, I thought he signed a two year deal, I would also imagine any coach we have, especially a new man, would want him in their organisation.

I accept he’s had issues with illness, but that can and has happened to lots of players, especially this rotten season, we want top quality playing for us, That’s why AP signed him,

The trouble is Jones hasnt shown any top quality when he has played
It was widely reported that Jones had asked for a transfer citing travel difficulties and his partner/wife didnt want to move to Hull.
After several weeks of speculation the club issued a statement that they they had come to an agreement with Jones for this season.
I doubt the club would want to keep an unhappy player here for next season and given that he is still under contract i would assume the club will try and recover a fee for him when he goes.

If Bienek plays i just hope Last gives him more minutes and gets him involved more
Three carries is just not good enough
The same goes for Satae

Thought Bienek was busy defensively when he came on but not much chance to show anything when the teams in disarray. His first couple of runs he showed aggression and pushed their defensive line back. Seasons over for us, stop playing donkeys like Bowden and give players like Bienek a chance. Giving Brown a chance has actually improved his game and now hes pretty much a first team player - Bienek needs to be given more game time!

Leeds a couple of years ago where gash and had to play loads of youngsters playing but they learned from that and are now are reaping the fruits with the next wave coming through

We did it years ago with Horne, Judas & King and now its time for the next lot

Is it really necessary to call a player a Donkey? Ok you don't rate him but why use a childish insult.

Would you call him that to his face?

Especially as he's played well these last couple of games.

Some posters treat players like dirt, as you say, being anonymous makes all the difference.

What if linking back up with his old coach makes him happier, and he decides to stay?

Only if he partners Griffin in the second row,

I like several others have wondered why Bienek was not given a chance when he returned from Leigh especially given we were down to two fit front rows at one point.
My question was why when we have two big men on the field in Bienek and Satae did they only make three carries each?
Our game plan to use the wings then the centres to carry instead of the big guys is probably a reason why we are so poor in opposition 20 because our backs are knackered carrying the ball out of backplay.

The only way he would link up with Watson is if he ends up back at Salford which could be a possibility.
