He didn’t start at full back but played most the game at full back.

| And then there's the team selection. We sign a decent fullback and put him on the wing. We put our best halfback at fullback and play a second row in the middle at loose forward. We then start a backrow at prop and a centre at second row. Chester has lost the plot.

Think we improved massively when Escare went to full back. Hampshire should replace Brough or Miller. Wasted on the wing also.

I agree 100% with this Brough and Miller are the worst half back pairing I've seen at this club. In fact I'd say currently they're the worst pairing at any level in rugby league.

| Yes sneyd kicked two nice 40/20's but his place kicking was off target.
However Hull were far from clinical and they gave away a lot of penalties and made quite a few errors, a half decent side would have capitalised on that.

And what was the point of recalling Kershaw, an actual winger.
Chester’s SL Head Coach career is finished for me because who’d want him after this?

He's got the job for life here , assuming we stay up, that's apparent. But yes nobody would touch him at any SL gig. Maybe an assistant but that's about it.

Our coach recruited one of them and gave the other a 5 year deal. Makes it hard for him to drop them. Furthermore the main replacement is a bloke he doesn't rate, tried to offload to Huddersfield and hasn't agreed the contract offered.

| Why did we get rid of Horo? He was the pack leader, seems to have nose dived since he left.

For me the turning point of the season when the true nose dive began was the second game at London and that's when Miller returned.Down hill ever since then

For once in his career Chester has got to actually BE a head coach and get miller and brough in Monday and tell them they're going out of the team for the rest of the season. They're abysmal and have been all year. Anyone who thinks differently can't be watching the same team. Stop wasting our size and use the big men. Get Pauli back in and tell him to just ram it in down the middle. We've got the go forward but it falls to bits 30m out. We only lost by 10 but for me Hull were always comfortable.

Did you not see him move to full back after 20 minutes.
Chester explained that was the plan.

Agreed. However you're only as good as your last game regardless of contract length or recruitment choices. They're not doing the jobs they were brought in to do.

Chester doesn’t need to walk if he’s big enough to admit Brough and Miller are NOT working. Sadly he won’t and deserves his fate which should be the sack.
For the record I actually think Miller is the problem more than Brough but at least one needs to go.
Finally Hull we’re not great but then they didn’t need to be.

| Today was possibly a slight improvement but, we are getting rock all from our halves.
The two most creative players or game breakers were Hampshire and Escare. Brough and Miller as a pair are giving us NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING.
Certainly either Bouugh and / or Miller need to take a rest and for me it would be Brough.
Everything is going through him and nothing is being created at all.
At least with Miller/Hampshire/Escare in the halves we have a running threat from any option but at the moment, everything is so damn slow and easy to read.
Our 2 tries came from Hampshire so he HAS to play in the halves.
Our pack look willing enough although Fifita isn't fit and at least there is something to build on for next week.
Time for our coach to be brave or we will be utterly reliant on London/KR/Shudds to keep losing.
Obviously, something will change next week, with either KR moving above us or possible safety if we can win.
THE biggest game of the season.

| Why do we continue to hit players from the side when defending, Hulls forwards were dragging us up field in collision, hit them head on then wrap them up and our slow play of the ball is gifting sides time in defence. Frightening thing is Hull were poor

| Have to say the halfback partnership of brough miller isn’t cutting it at all. The last tackle kicks and plays too are long kick straight into a backs hand or hastily thrown together grubber that seems to have no intention (to force a repeat set for example).

Hull weren't great but, it's difficult to know how much of that was down to us or whether they were having an off day.
The 2 length of the field efforts proved to be the difference.
The intercept was a shocking individual error and the other effort was very poor defence.
I was pleased that we kept going though and there is something to build on.

Sneyd kicked the 40, 20s in the first half with the wind behind him why didn’t we follow suit

| Why would u want to play Escare in the halves? He doesn’t have the skill set to play 6 or 7. Full back is probably his best position, he’s great at bringing the ball back but not brilliant under the high ball or in defence, on second thoughts.....it might be best to leave him on the wing

Hull knocked on five times in the first 20 minutes, no team should win the first half let alone the game with stats like that. We are so dreadful we can’t even exploit that. At least two of Hulls tries would have been stopped by a competent pub team!
Today was atrocious even in a season full of atrocious performances.
No way am I ever going to stop supporting Trinity but I honestly don’t think I can justify buying a season ticket next year. I know all the arguments about it being counter productive but when your head coach can’t see the obvious then why should I?
Sorry MC but you’ve been stuffed by a coach and a number of players who you put your trust in, Miller in particular. Get rid now whilst you still have a chance of at least one up game that a new coach usually brings, it’s our only chance of a win imo.
I’d suggest McDermott, mainly because he’s the only available coach with any experience who is available. Tragic really.

The intercept came from the player who won the MOM! That tells you all you need to know about the rest of the team because despite his costly and stupid error he was our best player by some way.

| Brough and Miller are has beens.
Brough in particular never moved more than a yard before passing and the poor performance from the two of them meant we had no momentum going forward.
Changes are required for next week.
1 Jowitt
2 Tupou
3 Arundel
4 Lyne
5 Kershaw
6 Hampshire
7 Escaré
8 Fifita
9 Randall
10 Tangata
11 Batchelor
12 Talinoa
13 Crowther
14 Wood
15 Atkins
16 Kopczak
17 Pauli Pauli
Good combination of pace in the backs and power in the forwards.
Speedy half backs to offset the guile of McGuire and Drinkwater.
Brough and Miller will be murdered by them if played in their present form.
