I only mentioned one Welham but I thought both did okay. I wouldn't have picked either out for criticism, to be honest.

Stability is what is needed and that will come barring injuries.
I thought privet had a good game.
We need more leadership. The farce of the kick-offs in the first half being a case in point.
The fragility of the flanks in the first half being another.
It didn't look like we were learning anything from our mistakes.

We sorted it better in the second half.
But we need to be reactive on the pitch to what is going wrong.
And adapt quickly..

im with Jemmo,i think Yeaman hardly broke sweat.backed off a couple of times when they were attacking,he looked like he didnt want to be there.i thought Abdul and Paleasina had good games.pleased over all but need to stop the penalties

There ought to be, if there isn't already, a penalty system for penalties.
Sort the loonies out Thornton!

But we won!

Close game,closer than it should have been, poor defending at times and in attack lost our way In some good positions, though crusaders fought well. As for the Hull players, I also thought yeaman looked disinterested, which is a shame because he can be very effective, and I would question the wisdom of playing him in front of our players to be honest. Abdull, seems, to me at least, to have a lazy style of play, but he is a very good player, I like him. Feka did what Feka does, very effective and bags of effort, great to watch.

DR not working for me, Yeaman wasn't bothered just looking in stand and waving most of 2nd half.
We may have played better with all our own players in as they've been together training longer.

Yeah Abdull is an on player, doesn't seem to do much, but what he does is effective

Depends on which way the Coach see's it. If you are offered a bit of extra quality and the Hull lads put a shift in I think we should always consider it. If on the other hand someone with a half decent reputation turns up and does jack all then surely it is down to the Coach to consider it but then say, "You know what, your attitude sucked during your previous game for us, thanks but no thanks"

Now whether that it too much of a simplistic view I'm not sure but if it helps us this Season to get back to where we want to be and its right for both ourselves and Hull FC then crack on.

Weird one Yeaman, as for all his criticism he has got from the Hull fans the last few years, effort has never been in question, he always works hard and puts a good shift in. Maybe his heart isn't in it or feels he is too good for you (Which is totally the wrong attitude). It's a shame as even at his age, he should be doing some real damage in that league. Maybe your coach will give him another chance this week and see how he goes.

Good to see Abdul and Feka doing well.

The link up between the two clubs seems to be back on track, 5/6 of your fringe players, played for our reserves against Wakey last week in a friendly.

When I saw he (Yeaman) was down to play my thoughts were exactly that. He should make a difference. The pity is that the reports on his game are negative ones and not the star of the show stuff that it should have been. Not sure if we will be playing any Hull FC players in The Dons side this coming week ( Challenge cup at West Hull) and I do not suppose Mr Radford wants anyone to be Cup tied.

Open for that to be wrong of course.

A lot of talk about DR players following the game on Sunday and we should be grateful for the quality we got.We got them because of injuries to Tom Carr and Jordan Howden at stand off.Mark Castle still not ready at prop and Sam Doherty at centre injured. Also missing Jason Tali of course.
I thought Yeaman looked a bit disinterested but have been reminded about the tackle he made when he flew out the line and banged one of there players at the end when we were winning by 3 probable won us the game as the kid lost the ball. If he wasn't interested he certainly wouldn't of put his body on the line like that.
Also the latest news on Jason is that the Dons have received his COS number (Certificate of Sponsorship) on Sunday and he goes for interview Thursday, then paper work goes to Manila, all goes well could be 4 weeks.

Their first tries came down yeamans side which made him look lost
but couldn't really tell whether him his winger or the second rower was
out of position or good play by Wales. The thing that made me know
that he was interested was when we scored it was him that got the
lads in a huddle and was doing all the talking like you would expect from
someone of his experience

Are there any video clips of this match?
It would be nice to see just what the issue was down our left in the first half.

Would be good to see the highlights and I've asked too many times I'm even boring myself. Carl has agreed it is a good idea so maybe we will see them. Think Abdull is a gifted attacking player but he was defending the left side of the field and think his defence may be at fault.

I know Rob does the highlights when he can but he has his life to live. he has posted two of the tries on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robterrace/vid ... 056159667/ https://www.facebook.com/robterrace/vid ... 062174667/
