The only difference is we manged some wins between July as well...unlike sandinmy crack.

Wire has a team built up over years. Pearson and Gentle publically tried ridiculous amounts to sign a new half back. It's not as if this was unforseen, just couldn't get it done.

Gentle has my support for the time being but the pressure is really on.

The signings of Arundel and Galea are becoming increasingly questionable.

Agree re Gentle. Thought Galea did OK. It's our backs that except for Lineham that looked like a pub outfit. I'd play Jason Crookes in the centre with Lineham on that wing and fine Crooks heavily for his twitter trash and play him in the other centre. Time for Yeaman to step down he's done nothing and Arundel should stay at York.

Agree completely. But Yeaman won't get dropped in his Testimonial year.

And if we haven't already sorted a new half for next season we need to do it [iright now[/i.

The question is if he were to go who would replace him, if I was Adam Pearson I'd offer top dollar for dobson at least we'd have 2 top class halves then

Agree 100%.....thought Galea went okish tonight tbh but Arundle is another Turner......totally pi$$ poor attempt on Hock.

We just came off to good performances against Wire, Saints and Bradford,

Just thought I would remind people. That is all

Gentles job is at little risk and rightly so. Knee jerk thread.

Green shouldn't have been dropped and was Crooks injured ? . Arundel can spend the rest of the season on loan if thats the best he can come up with .

Just watched the after match press conference (all 2 minutes of it) PG looked as sick as a Blackpool donkey on a Bank Holiday Monday.

Arundel makes Turner look world class. I was willing to give him a chance but it looks like an outstandingly poor signing.

The question is if he were to go who would replace him, if I was Adam Pearson I'd offer top dollar for dobson at least we'd have 2 top class halves then

I think Turner is a better player. At least he looks like he thinks he belongs on the field even if others might disagree. Arundel looks 100% out of his depth.

Don't understand changing the team why drop green and crookes. Arrundel is really poor and Seymour and Horne never clicked last season so why try it again.

Rovers will never sell Dobson to us even if we offered £1m and the number of a decent stand builder.

What about a tin of Red paint as well?

Just watched his post-match press conference on Hull FC Live. The main points:

1. Judging by the look on Gentle's face when talking about him, Seymour won't play for us again.
2. Expect some changes to the team for next week.
3. Crooks picked up a knock and Green was touch and go - hence them not playing tonight. So maybe the selections wasn't as ill-judged as it seemed.

Both injured.

Yeah...Holdsworth for Seymour will be it.So why not let sky know that there was doubts as according to them we dont have injuries.

Seymour won't be at the club next season and if he is, it's a joke.
Wasn't happy with the signing of Arundel when we anounced it, and to make it worse he's on a four year deal.
Yeaman, as good as he is in defence he has no pace or attacking flair. He's a very small backrower imo.
Galea is done, and is ineffective because we aren't using him properly. He needs someone to link up with him more often as he was one of the best line runners in the league. It worked for his try but needs to happen more often.
We also need a impact player or two, were does our power come from off the bench?

It will be interesting to see the team for next week gentle has always said he'd pick on form and not age so it will be interesting to see if some youngsters get called up next week

He gave the impression it might be more than that. Have to wait and see.


Maybe he doesn't care what Sky think?

Only reporting what was said, chief. He looked totally gutted, and his face when the topic turned to Seymour was a picture.

Like to see Green,Kent and possibly Bowden come in and Crooks in the centre and let Arundle go back to york...just about his standard.

We lack a good prop who can break a tackle our forwards seem to get dominated every week think watts is back next week as well which is a timely boost but we need another moa soon...

I'd go with this plus possibly jack briscoe who's doing well at York!
