Not sure how someone like Connor fits into a methodical Watson coached team.
His game plan is effective when it works, but very restricting. Like when they went for two early on. They could have played on, and had Hull rocking if they’d scored a try.
He’ll be expensive to get rid of, as he took shed loads of back room staff with him. Part of the reason he didn’t come here!

Eventually when everyone is fit(if it happens)I can see Litten going on the wing with Hoy 1 and Trueman 6, Smith said in his interview yesterday Litten is very good on the wing and at fullback. As long as we don't see MacIntosh I'm happy, Cameron Scott had a decent game yesterday on the wing too.

Stats are out, some good numbers, picks are
Carlos best game of the season 161 metres
Swift again, 152 metres (Having a good season IMO and must be kept)
Satae, finally, 16 hit ups, 135 metres, 28 tackles (1 miss), this is what eh should be doing most weeks.
Houghton 42 tackles (no misses), good yards made of og DH too,
Litten 108 metres, 3 offloads and 8 tackle busts

Poor attaching stats for Lane and 9 missed tackles for Mcnarmara, these are still our two weak links IMO.

Hopefully with Hoy/Truman and hopefully Savelio (Although think his time at Hull might be done), these areas will be strengthened.

For me Swift is a no brainer to keep along with Satae, Macca is a sqaud player can do a job but has had to play lots of minutes this season, Griffin another always makes yards but then misses the tackle on McQueen tough one for me but a year deal wouldn't be a bad option, only player I thought struggled was Dwyer took the wrong options a few times like running it on the last, we should have popped a DG over at 20.8 with 6 to go.

By far and away our best performance of 2023. A great effort from 1-17 and a good use of the bench from Tony following losing Griffin for the most part of the game. I don't know if it was a case of the penny finally dropping but it felt completely different from the past couple months of watching us, there was some real aggression in both defence and attack and with some smart plays on the ball to match.

It is important that we don't get carried away here. Of course I am happy to see my side win but this is a first in 8 attempts, which still makes for grim reading. It is vital that this is the kickstart for our season, Wigan is a tough test of course, but if we play with the same attitude as yesterday then we will give ourselves a fighting chance.

I thought he was outstanding yesterday , Returned the ball in well and made some good breaks , Still got some pace about him .

He looks to be over his bad injury spell, so id agree worthy of another deal but max 2 years, as he'd be 32 at the end and wingers often age quickly after 30.

Unless you're Ryan Hall.

only match on sky sports match highlights not showing is hull v huddersfield.bet they showed hulls last 7

Don't forget Hall had a few years sat in the stands in Australia which will help.

It's on the SL Youtube channel .

Watching tries again, thanks agent Connor, whatever he was doing for our first try really worked

also gave away a penalty for a high shot which led to our 3rd try!

Good lad is Jake, always liked him

Are they classed as try assists?

I liked the way he stayed at the end and mingled, although it took Satae and Soa to point out to the crowd that he didn’t get a proper send off from the KC, he was on crutches. I thought the jeering was very misplaced. Say what you want but he always gave everything in a black and white shirt, plus he showed up a lot of none performers. I for one stayed to applaud him. Think he’s missing us.

I don't think he'll take the pantomime boos to heart. He's a good player who served us well, especially the last few seasons when he was our only attacking outlet.

I hope he's allowed to express himself under Watson and doesn't stick to his famous 'process'

Hopefully with Hoy/Truman and hopefully Savelio (Although think his time at Hull might be done), these areas will be strengthened.'"

That's fair enough, but would rather the club be transparent and say this is the reason to be dropped, plus it's been 3 games now, surley he has served him time.

Lane played 80 minutes on Sunday, took 6 hit ups.

I think Savelio's time at Hull is done.

I wouldn't be surprised too if im honest. What with his injury problems as well then i think we might look elswhere

We’ve been crying out for a strong coach to come in and sort the mess out.

Let’s leave him to it without questioning decisions he makes.

Players dropped will know the reasons why and there is no need for him to disclose this in public.

It’s then up to them whether they react in the correct way and learn from their mistakes.

The coaching staff see these players day in day out and pick a team based on how they perform then and not just on the pitch.

Yeah he won't be cheap, good player, but not had great value for money, frustrating to get him fit in time of need and he gets himself dropped.

If we can't question the club or coach on a forum like this, we may as well close this forum down, I think we have every right to questions the decisions made, I have no issue with Savelio being dropped if he did something wrong..

A bit of contradiction there Dave.
