Quote ="General Zod."Went to the game on Sunday and just watched the game back on hullkr.tv
Needless to say neither side's defence was great but it made for a superb game of Rugby League.
I've read some posts on here about your pack not playing well but the harsh reality is (whether you and the RL media like it or not), is that your pack come to play but they got totally battered into submission not only by our overseas forwards like Paea, Clinton & Mika but also our young homegrown forwards Taylor, Cox & Watts who totally dominated your pack. Credit to Soliola though, he was keen all match though the likes of Wilkin proved he's nothing but a flat-track bully who goes missing when the going gets tough.
Also our make-shift halves combo of Hall and Murrell seemed to have more orthadox half-back traits than your first choice halves in Lomax & O'hiah. I think Lomax is a great elusive player - similar to Burrows but Burrows has had the luxury of Sinfield playing the "General" role for him where as your team is soley reliant on James Roby for all direction on the park. Your signing of O'Hiah is totally baffling to me because he has similarities to some of your other players.
Anyway, as far as the match went, losing Withers in the middle of the second-half was a blow but young Josh Hodgson took the lead and your middle guys really struggled to handle him until he rolled his ankle and went off which meant further re-jigging after losing both our hookers. Needless to say I'm certain we would have gone on to win by 6/12 points had we had still one of our hookers on the pitch but that's Rugby League.
I must say that I think that although quite a few of your players are totally overrated in an individual context, you still manage to deliver as a team on the back of exceptional dummy-half bursts from James Roby who IMO is now the best hooker in the world. However the one player who does excite me is Wheeler and I think he will eventually go on to represent England if he continues to develop.
I have to say though the amount of forward passes your team throw in games is absolutely shocking - I counted 5 of your 7 tries watching the match back which were scored through forward passes. Don't get me wrong, every team throws a few in a game but Sunday's match was laughable.
Anyway, all in all a great game of Rugby League and I look forward to the return fixture where I certain that as long as we don't sustain injuries during the game, then we'll come back with the 2 points.'"
Utter nonsense. One bad game doesnt prove anything, never mind that an international player is 'nothing but a flat track bully who goes missing when the going gets tough'. Wilkin would walk into your team and be by far and away your best player. Also who are all these over rated players? And who are all the players that are similar to hohaia. I can think of only 1 which is lomax.
