| Quote: HKR Smithy "In terms of personnel, we are much stronger with better players. The problem is utilising this in order to produce better performances. Under Morgan, we generally played conservative rugby and hoped to capitalise when we had the ball in the oppositions 20, and play a more 'grind it out' type of rugby.
Under Sandercock, our attacking play has opened up and as a result we have scored more points, but we lack the knowledge of when to switch back to a tight game plan (Bradford, Cas etc). In theory all it takes is a leader on the field to get that message across, play basic rugby and kick for territory but instead we insist on brain farts in our own half on the 2nd tackle for example.
Defensively we have been on and off for the last few seasons, the missed tackle stats weigh up against us but some games we seem to be able to defend manfully and its frustrating being unable to do the same the week after.
At the start of the season I thought 6th was a realistic ambition. The same thing keeps happening week after week, and something needs to change/improve or we could be in for a frustrating season'"
your attacking play was non existent today. Hull tackled you out of the game. Gentle had obviously done his homework on your players and gameplan

| IMO Rovers will improve when Blake Green returns, Ben Galea is fully fit and you start to move the ball around the pitch.
Those Rovers fans who think a 'monster pack' will win matches are 30 years behind the times. We now play summer rugby league and even with 10 interchanges you can't afford too many players who can only manage 10 minutes before they run out of steam.

TBH as I walked up to the game today and again at kick off I thought 'Well with this type of game one thing you can be sure of is that we have be up for it'
How bloody wrong was I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed, in the first half it was a reversal of our typical performances so far this season i.e. Defence very good, attack not so much.. although as stated, your defence was good and we never got much chance to attack your line, well played (so painful to say)

| Key things for me today,
We defended very well
We didn't let you near our 20m line
We stopped Dobson playing for once
We played patiently and opened up in the last 20 mins
We got the bounce of the ball today, e.g. Hall into touch, Turner's first try
Radford's try and the Rovers's player collison before half time tunred the course of the game
You missed Morgan, getting you 'up' for the Derby. We didn't miss Agar.
Peter Gentle has improved Hull FC

Can't disagree with any of that apart from the turning point. All games don't have to have a turning point and I don't think there was one today. You just wore us down with solid defence (when we weren't knocking on) and then punished us. You were good, we were gash.
Let's see if things have changed by the end of May.

| Paea, Mika, Wheeldon, Murrell could all do with dropping a stone each and (Clinton) getting fitter IMO. After 55 mins I was shouting "Run at the fat kids!" and we started to, and gaps opened up like the Red Sea.

| Now maybe people will stop bleating on about our super pack, we have no real engine, no stamina and unfortunately we can't tackle.
