To make a point on the first 3 questions there...





And if it was tactical, why was that contradicted by picking two larger hookers?




I can answer that. Because our hookers took so long to pass the ball that the kickers had no time.




Hasn't that been in the case in almost every single game this year?

No bias from yourself, Mick.

Really enjoyed the commentary, well done.

All noted. Will be asked.

I'm sure we all have our own answers. I'm just interested in Rohan's opinion.

I would like some sort of confirmation that we were having an injury crisis and the decision to leave out Crossley/Lauaki and Clough wasn't down to some hairbrained scheme.

The poor last tackle options were IMO down to a combination of things. No go forward from the pack, slow pass from dummy half, Fev line speed, our kicker being too far from the dummy half, our kicker not getting any protection from Fev defence, a lack of organisation in the plays leading up to the last tackle to prepare to get a kick away and poor technique from the kicker. Most of that can be worked on - it's simple game management.

I agree line speed has been crap this season. Whether that's by design (but why would it?) or just down to a lack of enthusiasm or fitness I don't know but being as we're fulltime I suspect it's an attitude problem.

Coaches are often fond of saying things in defeat like "there was 100% effort" or "I can't fault the effort". We've heard it ourselves a lot this season but I doubt it's always the case. It's a platitude used to placate fans and the press. The evidence of my own eyes backs this up.

I too would like to hear the thoughts on the prop situation. Clough hasn't played for a few weeks, so one can assume he was injured. Lauaki was definitely mentioned somewhere as picking up a knock, which is why he didn't play (I forget where now). Crossley I've seen no mention whatsoever why he was left out though. At least if it was down to injuries, it makes more sense. If it was down to choice, much like the O'Brien thing, it's hard to see anything other than he got it wrong.

The line speed thing, don't I remember reading some guff about Lowes instructing the team to allow a fast play the ball so they'd be ready for it by the time they got to the middle 8s? Not withstanding the fact that they didn't bloody get there, is that related to the slow line speed? And if so, was it too ingrained in the team for Rohan to change it yet? More questions than answers if I'm honest.

And I agree about the effort. Part of me always says to myself that I can't believe any player goes out there and can't be bothered. Surely it's just not in the nature of a pro sportsman. But then you watch it, and you wonder how it can be anything else with the evidence you see in front of you.

Dropping AOB, who is lightning quick around the ruck, and who always sparks us up as well as posing a huge threat near the line, was simple idiocy.

Mick, will be this be a live or recorded show, and what time (and date) will it be broadcast?

Can I second the appreciation for the commentary? I am long term sick and can no longer get to games. Looking forward to the Q and A broadcast.

Mick can you please ask rohan about the players who have deliberately lied to him about where they will be playing next year.

What's this relating to?

Who you talking about???

Hobbo mentioned yesterday that certain players had lied to rohan about leaving the club when he arrived. he also mentioned that some players weren't giving rohan anything in training.

I dont know who he was referring to but it was a classic hobbo rant.

Which usually translates to he hasn't got a clue. Never forget the FRV match at home when he called walker, Alex mellow for the whole match! How a commentator can get it wrong for a full 80 mins is beyond me

Is Chisholm signed up for 2017 regardless of which division we will play in?

Does this team lack real leaders when the going gets tough? And if so will this be addressed by recruitment for 17?

Given your time again would you play AOB in the Fev game?

When did the club realist financially we were in grave danger of missing out on the middle 8's? And was this then budgeted for?

he might be a poor commentator but you can't knock his loyalty and passion for the club.

he says he's a successful businessman nearly every week what business does he do?

Some sort of imports business isn't it?

Or did I make that totally up?

Hobbo is a fan doing the summarising role for free. If you want someone more professional, best to speak to BCB about paying for someone to do it. Otherwise, you get the local version of Sky's Fanzone. Personally I don't mind it, as he's only saying what most of the fans on the terraces are saying, whilst Mick offers the more sensible unbiased balance, but I appreciate it's not for everyone. He certainly isn't the most biased commentator on the radio though, have a listen to Radio Humberside one time if you want a true eye opener.

[list[/list:u

that Lloyd chap with the funny name is unlistenable on Humberside.

Blunderside is the most biassed commentary ever, imo - they don't even commentate when the opposition has the ball and only mention the game if some Hull player puts in a decent tackle. When the opposition score it's only mentioned in the context of some Hull player missing an easy tackle/ being out of position/dropping the ball etc.

Let's be honest, we [iexpect[/i local radio to be a little bit biassed. It puts them at one with their listener, who is overwhelmingly most likely to be a fan and will be happier with the commentator seeing the game from their own pov. There are limits though...
