I was once privileged to see him destroy a Catalan side in France, their forwards were much bigger than any we had that day.

Best of luck to Sneyd tomorrow and he does deserve a good reaction from the fans.
I agree right time to move on.
Reynolds is not a leader on the pitch even with his experience and its one of the reasons i dont want to see McNamara selected in the halves tomorrow.He would be a headless chicken.We need to use a short kicking game and start turning teams around.McNamara doesnt have that in him but Conner does.
Reynolds will work better with Connor as his half back.
The other reason is i just dont see what the coaches see to suggest McNamara is a future half back for the club.The same goes for Cam Scott.Not even a glimmer of anything special and both of them are devoid of pace

Bit baffled at the suggestions of Macca stepping into gales shoes. Any Insight into the reasoning? Or is it just a lazy choice?

I may be wrong but Mcnamara has mainly stepped in as a Reynolds replacement. He really doesn't have the Gale/Sneyd skillset to cover the role. It'd be asking an Academy lad who's not looked ready, to further take on even more responsibilities in the organisation role, I've not seen anything from. Him to suggest he's anywhere near assertive enough or has the necessary kicking game.

Connor to fill Gales shoes all day, has the kicking game and rugby brain to plug the gap.....

I think we're asking for defeat putting someone as inexperienced as Mcnamara there.

Macintosh at fullback is a far less risk

I'm sure Sneyd will get a good reception from the Hull crowd although there will be sarcastic shouts of "Sneeeeeeeeyd" should he miss conversions of course. He has settled in well at Salford and the move seems to have given him a new lease of life.

Whether all his former teammates will be as happy to see him is another matter. One remarked on his departure "Good riddance, he was the worst trainer at the club".

Cam Scott actually has plenty of pace, he’s made a few gallops I can recall, usually ending in poor decisions making though, he does need to work on his defensive game, but that can be improved, he’s young still, and remembering Kirk Yeamos debut at the Boulevard, he was ripped to pieces by Martin Gleeson, but what a fine defensive centre he was to become.

Unfortunately any lads we do introduce to the first team, always seem to be in struggling teams, Macca especially

Of course we all see the game differently, and your appraisal of him may be correct, as I say he must take his chance.

You would think with his fabulous skill set Jake could also run the show from the halves, but for some inexplicable reason, he’s mainly shone at centre, but especially full back.

Wouldn't fancy defending against Ken Sio ATM.

We got rid at the right time but he’s still got it in him and knows us and our game inside out. He absolutely can kick us to death if we let him.

What is happening, I like the sin bin, but come on, seriously

The games becoming a joke neither of those where yellow cards. If the RFL and officials carry on like this the game as a sport will be finished before we reach the GF.

No Carlos again tomorrow

It’s becoming an hard watch, high tackle penalty on litten then was nothing!

Oh dear

Litten just made direct contact with a Cas defenders head by leading with his forearm yet no action from the Ref.

Radford seems to have taken Classy Cas to Crapoy Cas they are awful.

Agreed. I know we still have tomorrow to worry about first, but we should be putting a score on Cas next week. They look terrible.
Although depending how we go tomorrow I might change my mind on that!

Talking to Cas fans in White Hart, North Cave. They said “5 drives and a kick doesn’t win games” They also said “Radfords under pressure already” Cas defended 11 man game excellently but just didn’t perform when they got back to 13.

Nrl tried clamping down on “high” tackles a season or so back, completely scrapped it after 2 or 3 rounds. We struggle to attract new supporters as it is, we’ve no chance with this shiiiite that’s getting served up.

No Carlos (or Wynne), but at least McNamara is starting, which will please bonaire.

Looking at the team, really can't see us getting a win today, worrying that I feel have so little confidence in the team against Salford at home. I really hope I'm wrong.

Some big games needed particularly Reynolds.

Wynne has to be injured surley.

Bench looks very weak.

Hopefully we can sneak a win. Should have 3/4:back next week. Mac in the half's is not my choice when we have no place for vuni who looked a handful last week. I hope at 5 we are posting what a great game Mac had. COYH

What about the second row? Lovodua signed as a nine Lane and Fash two midgets in comparision to most teams forwards
Mitch was our best player in his time on field last week yet is left out completely.If he wanted to move Connor into the halves during the match which in my opinion he will have to then he could still move McIntosh to full back and Mitch to the wing.
Beginning to lose faith in this coach.

Lovely play and smart kick by Scott to go in for his 2nd. Hull getting little from Hicks.

Connor just showing what a huge miss he is when he’s not playing. He link up play and disguise of passing is class.

great to see us using the possession advantage we have
Jack Brown having a stormer
lets see if we see a different cam Scott today as his confidence must be high
