Opinions differ that's why !





I will also give you my opinion on something else. When every opposition coach looks at our pack I would think King is the last player that they will worry about.

Anybody know what the halftime draw numbers are I buy one every game but cannot hear the tannoy in the north stand been on the website but Cannot see the numbers there,thanks

All right. It wasn't particularly aimed at you.

You have as much right to be wrong as anyone else.

Hull FC is a must win for top 5 - lose this one and we can concentrate on the relegation battle



we will be 4 points off 5th no way back from there ..

It’s all well and good having a huge set of forwards but if their taking the ball up pedestrian like as on Sunday our go forward is stunted ,which has a knock on effect throughout the team .

Yes the conditions were poor and not a day for free flowing rugby ,but I expected a better performance from the team as a whole

Sadly we still don’t know which wakey team is going to turn up from game to game ,is this the coaching side of things at fault or just players attitudes or a bit of both .

It’s very hard to make any kind of momentum when the speed of the ruck is so slow. I don’t think our traditional ground / pitch helps when it pours it down. Give us a modern stadium and it’d no doubt suit us better.



I’ll be over at Hull on Friday cheering on the lads!!

is Rhubarb radio still calling the games?

You'll find them on the twitter feed

Good Luck !

Thank you for that wrencat.

On the subject of our forwards - we're still not hitting the ball at pace, so a lot of their effectiveness is blunted by setting off from a standing start; Fifita can compensate for that by being such a big lump, but even he can't do the impossible. It's not a big ask to have them standing further back and hitting the ball with some momentum - is it?



In terms of specifics - King looks fairly ordinary to me, and he has a habit of running sideways instead of straight, which would be fine if he had an offload, but he doesn't appear to. Kopczak looks solid - and Hirst has, at best, stood still. We're big, but I'd trade 3 of ours for that headcase at Saints who appears to have no regard for his own personal safety.

Seems strange to say it but I don`t think it suits Fifita`s game hitting the ball at pace, he seems to make more impact and yards from a standing start most of the time. If we could get PP fit and give him some good ball he could be devastating as we saw towards the back end of last season.



Completely disagree about King, don`t think he played too well against KR but every other game he has been one of the best forwards on the field, nothing fancy, runs it in 100% committed, finds his front every time, quick play the ball, very rarely gets dominated in the collision, was talking with Johnny Thompson about the low impact point, drop the shoulders and run in the gap, find your knees, very difficult to defend against and difficult to get that style right without picking up a lot of injuries but seems to come natural to King.



Hirst on the other hand although he looks strong but just does not have his running style right, he is too upright and more often than not gets dumped on his back
