Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

Exactly. The stats against Cas were ridiculous, something like twenty odd sets in their half as opposed to Cas having about eight in ours.
Sandercock identified the problem in November 2011, the fact it's still a probelm indicates he can't solve it.
Part of a coaches remit is to improve individuals, one of our major problems is our centres defensive reads and the patterns they've been coached to (I actually think it's wider than that and also involves our second rowers not sliding and people not covering for them when they've been invovlved in the tackle) Welham has gone backwards at an alarming rate. From being on the cusp of the England squad two years ago to probably not making the seventeen if everyone was fit is some slump. Salter hasn't looked the player he did last year either.
The team was always going to take time to gel, but it was Sandercock's decision to have such a large squad overhaul (personally I don't think you should bring in more than three or four new players each year) I'll give him a little more time, but a shellacking in The Derby and I think the axe will fall.'" The axe could be before that.
Lose the next 2 and I fail to see how/why you would wait.

| Problem is even winning the next 2 will just paper over the cracks and we'll still get beaten by teams whi can play simple rugby and not make mistakes. Needs to go now imo.

| In defence of our centre combos, I do sympathise a bit - given the fact at times I have little faith in our sliding/cover defence. It's worrying though, that this particular weakness is still being exposed going back to JM days. CS’ first policy was to spread our line, but we had so many weak links in it, it was just as bad. It’s fair to say he’s not found much of a plan b, yet.
Something what narked me from Friday, was just two little snippets from slack team defending. Bowen’s try … Burns puts up a speculative bomb, ends up on his backside from kick pressure. Bowen takes the ball, plenty of blue shirts in and around him. Not one of them was directly interested in the ball or Bowen and he gets away. Burns still on his backside, gets up too late and is easily outpaced. The other was the second Thornley try I believe. Think it was Costigan who was the guilty player. He was slow to fill in, and even when the danger was obvious he still never reacted. I think it was the ref cam that showed it clearly. I’d love to see us put the emphasis on mean defence like some teams and even take pride in defending our line. Right now, we look a million miles of being capable of that. How many times do we concede a penalty and a try follows?
We’ve had a tough start, no doubt about it and our points return isn’t a million miles from where most probably expected. Performances and team improvements have been lacking however. Obviously Bradford/Wakefield games are huge and will be a marker to where we’re at right now.

AARRGGHHH!! I really hate that. How come it's always in and around? Even when it makes absolutely no sense and only conjures up the most bizarre/obscene images.

Not from me bud, for the support both Hull teams get ,we deserve better. Be honest has any supporter from either club had a realistic hope we will win owt? Most of us go out of loyalty than hope.

You've won two things already. Don't know you're born!
I try to enjoy games as a discrete 80 minute contest. I'd be thrilled if each win turned out to be a stepping stone to silverware but I think sports fans have got a bit obsessed with that. Most teams don't win a trophy, most of the time. At least our teams win sometimes (us not so much of late, admittedly). Fans of London - that is some unrelenting pain!
