Our play the ball is so slow off the basis of pathetic runs from our "props", that any move out to the wide areas will be killed by Hull's far superior line speed.

This is honestly the worst front row I have ever seen at the club, and that includes last season.

How long does Powell have left-This is awful

Appallingly awful-Top 8 not a chance

Hull haven't got out of 3rd gear here which is the worst thing.

True. The team are so weak in defence

This is just like last season at Hull - has Powell learnt nothing?

Powell needs to get on the phone to his mate Sir Brian and get him to lend us a couple of players.

And to think, this is nearly a full strength team, what happens when we pick up a couple of injuries?!

They're playing like cowards. Tired cowards.

Something's Gotta Change........and sooner rather than later........if we don't have 8 points by the end of March the coach should be unemployed IMO

The only + is that with it being an evening KO I got to lie in this morning

.........

What's the chance that Hull increase the score with 12 men?

Been described as clueless by David Oates on 5 Live!

About time.

Your team doesn't deserve that try. Try for the ref. Not wanting to sound bitter but that should never have been a sending off.

Dangerous contact to the head. Red card. Correct decision.

Would have been better if you'd just kept your thoughts to yourself.......

Kicking game/last tackle option has been dreadful all night.

Edited for accuracy

If it had of been direct to his head I would have agreed with that and would have no problem, but I thought that it looked more like it had made first contact with Rinaldi's shoulder and then moved up, hence why I don't agree with it. If I'm wrong and it was correct then I can't complain, but I thought that it had made first contact on the shoulder.

I think you'd be better off frothing from the mouth on the Hull forum with the natives, I can't see your view getting much support on here. Horrendous tackle.

Time to go Rob and take some of the more 'experienced' players with you- spineless , pathetic, lazy display

The Penguin text me during the game with an interesting observation - whenever the Sky cameras cut to Powell, he is sat there doing nothing, saying nothing, being miserable. Other coaches are constantly talking to their assistants, their bench, doing things during the game to try and turn things around. Powell just looks resigned to defeat, all of the time.

Powell on Sky saying round 10 before improvement are seen? Did I hear correct?

Did Howell and O'Callaghan play tonight?

Powell targeting rounds 10/11/12 so he says in his interview. Will he still be employed then?

Bring in Derek Chirosa(sp) as a motivator!!

I thought Randall and Howell had great games!!!

Powell was sort of suggesting in the interview it wasnt the sending of that sparked us(his words) more a conscious decision to play faster!!!

Desperate words possibly

If Rodney has a serious injury maybe we could deregister him and bring in Hickey(the old HKR Trick)-Desperate measures possibly!!

What a truly listless, ineffectual display. Given that we played miles better in Round 1, it is pushing it to blame this on the old 'new team, still gelling' chestnut. That we only decided to give it a go once the opposition were down to 12 men says it all. We didn't seem to want it.

Performance littered with careless errors. Being off-side from a kick off - criminal. Juggling a routine goal-line drop out -criminal. Constantly going high in the tackle and often missing them altogether - criminal. Luke Dorn has clearly decided 2012 is going to be his 'David Howell' campaign.

What can a player like Craig Gower do with so little help? When we're hardly completing sets in the opposition half? It is maddening. It is insulting. Most of all I feel sorry for Tony Clubb and Kirk Dixon, who ran their socks off, tackled fiercely, ran tenaciously. They were genuinely impressive - Clubb continues to look a different player in the pack. Dixon looks unfazed to be thrown in at this level so early. Unfortunately he was so comprehensively let down by those around him.
