We can’t replace Talanoa with a winger with pace as we don’t play like that he’d be totally ineffective, we need to create space to get the best out of a speedy winger. When was the last time you saw a Hull player create space for his winger and send them rushing down the wing? Because I can’t.

But its also about a winger who can use his pace and come inside to try and find gaps.
How many times have you seen Talanoa coming inside with the ball like the Saints wingers do.He just sticks to the line.

Harris joins the list of dumbos

Look at th break Carlos made in the first half, a winger like Marshall from wigan would have been in his shoulder, took the pass and it's a try. That's the difference between Talanoa and a winger with true pace

Tuimavave head and shoulders above everyone else tonight. Plenty of effort from Taylor and Shaul, as for the rest.....

Didn’t deserve to be in with a chance in that game, the farcical Abdull try and following sin bin let us in.

Houghton?

Gotta give Paea abit of credit imo was our best forward and made plenty of metres.

Jordan Lane was my MOM

Garbage. End of.

Nail on the head

The first half we were still at Wakefield
Second showed how poor Rovers are with all their injuries and 3 debutants
We had players back fully fit
Yet from 16-16 we couldn’t win it with all the momentum and a much better team on the pitch
This team can win the GF - Radford is right
However for it to happen then Lee would be watching from the stands as a fan

you don't half talk e

Back to the drawing board with the tactics. 2 years ago we built a side around size and aggression and that gave Sneyd time and space to put in some clever kicks.

Since then we’ve lost Ellis, Pritchard, Fonua, Watts, even Thompson had a bit of grunt in him and aside from Faraimo being a decent if not quite as good replacement for Fonua we havent replaced the others.

Far too many average squad players about now, good move to ship Turgut on today, but id cull some others too and free up space for a big new arrival or two to give us a spark.

Well done Rovers, better team won.

Some fight from Hull in the second half but some silly errors cost us any chance of a comeback.

Sixth at the split so if Cas beat Widnes we'll have Wakefield, Catalans and Cas at home and Saints, Wigan, Wire and Huddersfield away. Should be fun.

With the amount of good ball we had near their line, literally any other team in the league would have beat them tonight. I know the rain was bad but we just didn't look like we had a clue what to do.
None of the players move. They just stand still and wait for the ball to get to them, then they set off running. It's so slow and predictable, and the reason we can never give our wingers an overlap. Faraimo was making solid yards all night but not once we did pass him the ball near their line and let him have a go at barging over.
Forget signing new players, sign somebody new to the coaching team who can get us moving the ball properly and at speed.

abdull isn't doing it for me and sneyd is playing on one leg, would give harris a go, disappointed in manu tonight, we just looked tired for long parts, the effort is there but just not firing, if am honest be glad if the season finished now so we can start afresh next year, we are at where we are, that's sport,

Saved me writing it myself.

Abdull isnt good enough and doesnt suit our style anyway, ship him out

I think there needs to be a big cull of players but that can't happen until next year. I would be looking the world over for a new number 7, and maybe even a new number 1. Sneyd is predictable as he offers no running threat and passes to far from the defensive line, and I don't need to say any more about Shauls passing game or his ability to create space for his centre. We get into a good position in most of our sets, but no movement off the ball, taking the ball to the line and our inability to create an overlap is awful for a fully professional side.

It comes down to skill set for me. Getting upfield is easy enough, run hard, quick play the ball. Done. However when you get into the opposition 30, there is more pressure on your skill set, angle of run, speed of pass accuracy of pass, and the timing of your run. This is where we fall down. Passing slow, passing wayward, no players in motion, equals no way of breaking a defensive line down

Garbage

Tonight's effort. Not the previous post

hope it dosent spoil your holiday to much being dicked by revers reserves I think you had too many injuries don't you. or are you running out of steam,bad ref, dodgy decisions I don't think so you were lucky to lose tonight
