well said

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I've just watched the highlights on HullFC.tv and thought I'd add my thoughts.

Our defence seemed all at sea and quite disorganised, they cut us to pieces on the flanks.
On the attack however our tries were pretty well worked and shows we can score points when we have the play. Horne seemed outstanding.
The impression the highlights give is that everything Wigan tried just stuck, like Goulding juggling the ball about 5 times or the ball bouncing back straight to Roberts.
It seemed like one of those nights to be honest where we made far too many errors and those were further compounded by rotten luck.

We must take the rose coloured glasses off now and again.

Against the form team, with a fully fit squad bar one, granted a winger, for the outside backs we could only come up with, a utility player for one centre, a "will he won't he make it" player for the other (we keep asking), and two young inexsperienced players, who are touted as centres on the wings.

Lets face it, it's not hard to come up with a half decent game plan, Cas with more guile could have and Hudd's nearly did exploit us, many more could on viewing Wigan game.

Next years shopping list Mr Rule, we need SPECIALIST EXPERIENCED centres, not since Richie Barnet and Deon Bird have we had this in the camp.

like who?

We've got 2 internationals, a international academy captain and 2 other players who have been in the first team squad for 5 seasons or more challenging for a centre spot.

I haven't got the answer, it's the boards job, we missed Atkins, i like sheldon, exports, i'm sure they are out there.

One of my points is in your answer, 'challenging for a spot for five years',it should be nailed down by now for the club and them, will they make it, how long do we give them, i don't think currently any of the outside backs other than Brisc would get near an England call, and that i feel, would be an investment type call up, to have him around the squad for experience.

I dont think our backs are an issue, they'll score tries with the right service and are all pretty sound defensively.

Our issue is consistency of performance and keeping our halves fit imo.

Agar needs to give Hall a good run in the centre position, instead of dropping him after a bad performance. He doesn't seem to do this to any other player. Hall needs confidence and when he's full of it it shows in the game. Bet he hates it when we get beat knowing that more than likely he'll get the blame for it.

FFS Agar keep him in the team he's our best attacking player. Stop playing it safe by putting Whiting in the centres when we should have Hall there ready to attack players like Sykes, Sheriffe, Nero etc. He'll have a field day against them.

Hall's an easy target. Be interesting to see if he drops radford who was equally as bad last FRiday

Or Tansey

tansey less so as we don't have a direct replacement sat in the stands

Whiting

whiting isn't sat in the stands
