It's not Tansey at 6 I

at it's Hall at 1.

Whiting then... theres just got to be a better combination than Washy at 6, mind you, Whiting didnt set the world alight today, so dunno

Me if you like and thats a non idea - Washbrook is not a No 6 and the sooner the people in charge realise this the better - RL is a about pace and he a got non of that not in thought or feet

Washbrook is a loose forward and plays his best rugby there, but while super fitz is here he wont get a game at 13. In the meantime we have to play turner at centre and whiting on the wing because of injury to calderwood and raynors situation etc. Tansey has to be fullback because hall (although his tackling has improved) has zero positional sense in defence. And horney is injured, so washbrook is what we're left with at 6 im afraid

Washbrook A nearly man but he has a lovely smile - I have read your post its a bit of a conundram !!

wow, very harsh, wouldn't have said he was the worst on the pitch today, feel sorry for him, he doesnt get a chance to play in the position he prefers and gets fan bashed repeatedly, I think he is a very professional young man and with the right coaching and position he could be an excellent asset to the club

Trouble is we have three loose forwards {potential} playing in the backs, Whiting, Turner and Washbrook. Agree Washy has gone backwards, but he is NOT a stand off.

Anybody who thinks Whiting will get a chance at 13 before Washy needs there head testing.

Mods - How much longer do we have to put up with this absolute piece of cr-p of a poster?

I'm not sure i agree with every post VoiceOfReason puts on this forum, but asking a Mod how long you have to put up with the posts is like telling your Mummy and Daddy, or telling the teacher! If you dont like what VoiceOfReason says, dont read it - simples!

Must admit, not to this degree but I aren't happy with Washbrook at 6, not what so ever but who would replace him apart from Horne who spends half of the year in Hospital. Something that needs bringing up and rectifying and someone needs signing.

Agar said yesterday he would not be ready for the Cats game, maybe the week after.

Washy is not great at 6 but at the moment it suits us with Horne being out, Tansey could play there but we would miss his fullback play. Washy has done a decent job for the last 4 games which we won.

Slightly harsh OP on the young lad?

Oh dear. It was a response to the quite frankly pathetic nature of his post calling a player a piece of crap, so I simply used the words he used. I'm not actually asking the mods to do anything

Good!

Ok, he's not a stand off and he would probably be the first to admit it, but you cant fault his enthusiasm, he always gives his all, tackles his heart out and works hard for the team as a whole, would love to see him trained by someone who believed in him or at least someone who would play him where he would do the most good.

It was rather, wasn't it.

Nothing particuarly "reasonable" about that post.

It's the same most weeks when we lose, Saturday/Sunday/Monday morning firing squad. Pathetic IMO.

Slightly????
There's one thing saying he had a poor game but to call the kid an "absolute piece of crap" is totally uncalled for. Would like to see him go out there and do better.

The OP is correct and this is the 3rd year we have had to put up with it. I'm not saying it's DW's fault and it could be argued it'd not entirely Agars fault but the facts are that he is not good enough and this is the 3rd year he has played there. It's absolutely ridiculous that we are still in this situation.

At the time of renewing his current contract and amidst rumours of him signing for Rovers there was meltdown on here as he was seen as one of the best homegrown prospects not just at Hull but in the SL. For me compared to 2006/7 (maybe because his opening minute break in the Bradford GF eliminator is such a great moment in FC's recent history) he's actually seems less effective now, 4 years on. Whether he's not being used right or has just not continued his trajectory of development, I don't know, but it's a real shame and doesn't sound like it's through poor attitude or lack of commitment either. Would love him to rediscover his potential.

Thats a tad unfair really. Unlike some i rarely vent my frustration at the players, i may comment that a player had a mare of a game but have never slagged a player off and most others are the same. Agar gets the majority of criticism when we lose and as a coach that is what he probably expects.

Washy is in an awful situation, he tries his heart out and you can see that but he is just not a stand off or a scrum half. But for me the fact he gives everything the majority of the time means a hell of a lot.

It wasn't meant as a sweeping statement, it was directed at the people who systematically go through the team/squad/coaching staff and slag them off. Usually after a loss or two. If you don't do that then it doesn't include you.

Feel exactly the same Mrs. B.
Problem for Danny was 2008, injuries meant he played out of position all year. 2nd problem was halfway through that season we had a change of coach, to a coach that believes in the Aussie way of having a pivot at fb and an extra prop at 13. I'm not saying that it's the wrong way to do things but Washy came through the system in a position and role that is now redundant in our team.
