It's a bit much to write Lynne off , he's only a kid.

Such an attitude makes him a prime target for the Boo-Boy section of the crowd already.

Sorry but I just don't think he's all that special. He had two one on one's against the Wakey fullback and tried to run over him both times, could have sidestepped him, kicked it past and ran past but no, just went straight into the waiting arms. Poor wing play.

Being one of the best players in the country as a child does not guarantee a player can perform at SL level.However in Reece's case it is clear he is far from ready at this level, and from what I have seen there are definitely no guarantee's he will ever be ready as there is a lot of work to do with his game. He should though like you say concentrate on his training and building his skills and confidence in the u20s and hopefully he will come good.

Totally agree.

It was a tongue in cheek remark based on the fact that they are both lightweight-looking looking wingers whose primary asset is speed, and are/were billed as the next sensation when they came through. It's a fact though that that he's done very little of note in the first team so far to suggest he will live up to his billing, thank goodness he's got Rich Agar to help develop him though, eh?

I know, I think its some kind of brain disease that is only passed on to Hull fans, Its been the same since Blacklock and still some people just cant connect the dots.

TBF the job Agar has done developing Tom Briscoe is not too shaby...or Houghton for that matter, I would consider developing young players is one of Agars strengths.

Briscoe was a signing, you could tell he would play SL from the age of about 15, Agar's achievement there was persuading him to sign for us when he could no doubt have had his pick of clubs.

Houghton fair enough, but Agar has failed enough to develop other players that I'd argue he's the exception that proves the rule, and would have come through regardless of who the coach was.

If you actually look at the FC side since Agar took over he has very rarely blooded a young player and always prefers to field an established name.

I thought the idea in any team sport is to field your strongest side?

Even worse when you consider the injury problems we had in his first 2 years in charge

Thats what worries me Gary.

Amen brother!!!

What is it with some of our fans and their apparent lack of appreciation of a Wingers role in the game. Blacklock and Sing were singled out by some without just cause for a similar thing for what Sharp is bing blamed for now.

Sharp is actually rarely out of position. He cannot simply hug the wing, otherwise there is too big a gap from his centre. His centre on the other hand has the benefit of having a collegue either side of him, the winger doesn't. As the winger has to move in field to prevent large gaps appearing, he is hoping the cover defence can cover him or that someones brain doesnt explode and they come running out of the line.

Seems that way, had three threads on him within a week now.

But he hasnt played that well though as he? Granted his centre has left him high and dry a few times but he also hasnt done himslef any favours with some of his half hearted attempts at catching balls and tackling. I wouldnt go as far as saying hes a scapegoat but hes a weak link in the side at present imo.

I remember 2 from Friday. Care to point out some others?

Some fans are pointing out that hes playing poorly and it stands out in games more than other players...the majority of fans that i have been sat near in the games that i have been to have commented at some point about sharps performances....hardly being made a scapegoat just an observation..

I've heard it all now blaming a winger for 3 men overlaps... seriously!!

If he's as bad as you all say then I hope you play him.

Whether he plays or not, you'll still be targeting our right side defence. If you don't then may I suggest buying Potter a new labrador & white stick

I wondered how long it would be before people started laying into Sharp. Don't forget it's a learning curve for him as he's gone from playing in front of 3,000 Quins fans in London to the pressure of playing for a club with massive support like Hull FC.

Yes of course he's going to make mistakes, but he's playing in an average side and I don't think we can make him a scapegoat or judge him just yet.

I'd have swapped Sharp for Craig Hall as a winger anyday last year. We all saw how Hall's confidence shot down when Agar dropped him, I just hope he keeps faith with Sharp as he's youngish, non-quota and keen to learn.

I hope as well as keeping faith with Sharp Agar also tries to make his life a little easier by changing our defensive pattern that's far too condensed down the middle. Even the most experienced of wingers cannot mark 3 players.

Definatley. It's too easy to simply blame the winger.

Sadly it's not stopped our previous highly experienced wingers from getting slated by some. Blacklock, Sing and Calderwood all took stick because of their defensive work at FC. None of them were really at fault for our poor defensive pattern.

As I say, it's easy. I also usually find it's easy to blame newcomers at Hull.

However people would still rather us play Lyne, who has not impressed at all for me. Yes he's young, but so are Arundel, Evans, Charnley and Foster.
