I didn't say they are saving, I said looks like they not risking him as he's obviously not 100% fit. No point in playing him if he's still struggling with the knee then losing him for the next month.

I know sia really wanted to be fit for this one.

I wouldn't agree at all that Gaskell has made 'most of the mistakes of the last three weeks'. The Hull FC saw most players at their worst but last week against Bradford, Gaskell was one of the strongest players. Dread Wilkins kicking game on Sunday, and not confident we can bouce back anyway, especially with all that's happened at the club this week and present form.

I'm glad you don't agree with something I didn't say!

I said he and Jamie Foster have been responsible for most of the mistakes over the last few weeks. If you think back then, with the exception of Lomax and Clough passing the ball to the opposition, I'm probably there or thereabouts in my appraisal of that one.

I'm not sure what you're struggling with. I DON'T agree with your point regarding Gaskell. I'm not going into my opinion of Foster, but will say I hope he's soon back on excellent form, the potential of which we saw last season.

Over on Redvee someone has posted some hearsay: that a player or players have said that four of the senior players have been inputting into training and gameplan this week. If true, that highlights the inadequacies of the current coaching team.

You didn't read my original post correctly.

I put responsibility on Gaskell and Foster, not just Gaskell. So I am not, as you stated, saying most mistakes were made by Gaskell. I'm saying he and Foster made the most mistakes between them.

Hmmmmm


Not like you to give the tabloid slant hey.



Or another way of looking at it is the team coming together.

Maybe if we have the senior players inputting into training we might gain the type of team we had under Daniel Anderson another inadequate coach who required senior players input.

Daniel Anderson listened to a suggestion which related to the size of his players. That's very different from four players helping with game planning and coaching per se.

And we do not have the same team as we had under Daniel Anderson. One day some fans might also realise it.

Yes, I read it the first time. That will take years, petal, not just a couple of weeks!

McGuire is out for two weeks.18 year old Stevie Ward is making his debut

Ah your a sweetie, there there.

It's 'you're' and not 'your'. Good grief. If you're going to attempt to be sarcastic and silly then at least use correct spelling.

Nice to get tip's on english?

Its Been a few year's.

Cant tell you how I know but Meli will be playing on the wing, i'm 99% sure

Well that's a backward step if true. Expect Sinfield to think of Christmas again, just as he has done at every GF.

TP made the most costly mistake, and given his experience, was the least forgivable. The kids will make mistakes. Senior players should be able to take a dolly pass.

Oh I agree with that completely. In fact, it could be said that TP cost the coach his job. Had he taken that beautiful pass from wello which was a gift then a win at Bradford was likely and we could now have been going into the Leeds game with a confidence boost.

If tis is true that means Wheeler will be at centre against Hardaker id imagine?

Ive not been txt the team as yet but will confirm if true soon as I get it.

I heard the same. No Makinson so kicking will have to be Lomx or Lance

Good to know our new coaching regime is going backwards already then. Player power and all that.

Lomax will be goal kicking I assume? I hope we're up to scoring under the posts.

Have you not considered that Makinson just may not be 100% fit.?

There has been no injury report on Makinson. He is included in the 19.

And even if he wasn't fit that is no excuse to put Meli on the wing, especially against Leeds. Better to promote a young guy from the u20s. Sinfield will rub his hands together in glee on hearing the team sheet.
