Let's be honest Talanoa could get MOS and you wouldn't admit you where wrong, you where wrong about Radford, Fonua, Washbrook and are wrong about Talanoa.

I'd love to see you admit you are wrong and give Radford the credit he deserves instead of calling him a lucky coach who can't develop young players.

He won't Dave. Anyway great win. Never in doubt . Right across the park.we was good. Young guns again stood out. Masi and turgut are gonna be top class. Fash just wind him up and he just keeps going and going. Well done hull

Really proud of the lads tonight, great defensive effort, never took their foot off the gas, must say I was unsure which way it would go coming into this game but from minute one we got in their faces and dominated!

Enjoyed that tonight

Good to see the younger lads playing well throughout

Thought Fash excellent again, Turgut looks the part and has an arrogance that other teams hate - just needs to control it. Matongo great in defence, needs to work on attack a little

But very good signs for the future

Great performance.
Really good to see the best of Watts, keeping a cool head and causing lots of problems with his running and handling.

Watts has potential to be the best prop in SL, if he just controls his aggression.

Top performance. Solid all all round.
Well done Lads .

Best performance of the season IMO (perhaps cas home aside maybe). Great stuff

Really enjoyed Connor winding Dobson up, if he cements a place for himself with us other sides fans are going to love him

Greta win and some great performances from the young lads ,though Conner had a good game and he certainly gets in oppositions faces ,i like him and to be honest would have him rather than Sneyd, I think he has far more to offer

Have to agree about Sneyd we look much slicker with Kelly and Connor as our halfs and stronger defensively, we will no doubt miss his kicking and game management.

Even if Sneyd does come back in, Connor has to be in the 13, really impressed with him, good runner, passer, kicker and aggressive defence. Got potential to be a top player, excellent signing by Radford, bet he is glad he moved to Hull now.

Must say I was thinking as well while watching that we don't seem to be missing sneyd at all, really liking Connor at the moment.

Connor and Sneyd both need to be in the 13. Connor to right centre. Looks a real player

We'd certainly have missed him at Wembley!

Sneyd has been hit and miss since he joined but his game management is excellent and I think he and kelly had started to work well together but then sneyd was clearly injured for a few games before he dropped out of the team

Sneyd will come back in and rightly so. His kicking game is second to none, the times it's changed games for us with a 40/20 or his short kicking game has produced a try. That's without mentioning his goal kicking or eye for a drop goal.

Look at what's happened at Wigan since they lost Matty Smith a similar type of player to Sneyd.

This. If all fit I'd go:
Shaul
Fonua
Connor
Tuimavave
Talanoa
Kelly
Sneyd
Watts
Houghton
Taylor
Minichiello
Manu
Ellis

Bowden
Green
Washbrook
Thompson

Tuimavave has been good the last couple of games after some indifferent performances prior to that.

Yup, thought [ithe jackal[/i had a stormer last night.

Finding myself agreeing with a lot of your posts lately, its quite disturbing


Great performance last night , best 80 of the season for me. Really pleased for the more senior fringe players, stepping up and replacing our first choice players, Washbrook, Thompson , Connor, Bowden, outstanding. The young lads also, putting in some really good minutes. Watts unlucky not to get mom last night.

I don't see why Sneyd has to come straight back in at all and why you'd shoehorn Connor in at centre to accomodate him.
Yes his goal kicking is good but in the last 2 games Connor has been superb and I much prefer Connor and Kelly.
Connor has a good passing game, can place kick, takes the defensive line on and can monster in defence.

Sneyd as I say great at kicking goals, does not take on the line, susceptible in defence and just passes the ball on when he recieves it and very rarely takes the tackle.

I've really enjoyed our last 2 performances and been impressed with the fluidity of the team in attack.
No coincidence with Connor playing so well.

We would have to disagree, Sneyd brings to the table stuff nobody else in the squad can do. With Sneyd in the squad we always have last tackle options. Leads the club for try assists this season and has done since he arrived at the club.

Worth also mentioning he hasn't even missed as many tackles as most, intact Connor has missed more.

I reckon with the squad we have we would be far better off with Connor at Centre and Sneyd back at Scrum Half.

What pleased me about last nights display was that it was such a clinical, low error dominating display. We havent put one of those in for a full 80 in a while.

I also think some of the established team members should be made to win their places back, some of these kids are playing well and deserve a chance.

Turgut and Fash must be pushing that line up very hard, I'd have either over Thompson, the way Turgut dealt with BBM (who has been the best forward in SL this year) was unbelievable. Although saying that Thompson has been better the last few games, I still think those two offer more consistently.

Personally I'd have Turgut as the last bench player

Last night's attendance was 2678 - double that and it would still be poor.

Its great that the kids are doing well but realistically who are you going to leave out? Whatever way you cut it Taylor, Watts, Bowden and Green are pretty comfortably our best 4 props. Fash and Masi look to have great futures, but they just arent at the level of those 4 yet. Manu has to play, as does Ellis if fit. Ive been critical of Minichiello but he had a stormer against Wigan. Turgut is the one who now looks like a proper SL back rower and has a shout of being in a first choice 17. The others are promising, but not yet ready to displace any of the big guns.
