We still have some very tricky fixtures ahead and it's hard to pinpoint a game where you would say we would be favourites to win. I think we'll push Bradford but they are a vastly different proposition to last year, the two Hull sides are both capable of turning it on on their day. How do you restore the confidence and self belief to get the ball rolling again? A win, but what if we don't get one for another 2, 3, 4 games? I personally think Nathan should be allowed to return home early as him remaining at the club is obviously not working for either party. His heart, naturally, is with his family back home and the fact that the players are not sure who will be doing what next season is clearly unsettling quite a few. The one player for me who is really coming out of this dodgy period IMO is Faiumu, he has been a revelation.

His family are back here now.

IMO the whole team including NB need to band together for one final push. I have a feeling that the team NB (+ others) has put together need to unite and finish well in order to still be together next year.

It will do us no good if NB left now, you might as well say all those who haven't got a contract for next year should go.

Also i feel that Aspinwall has been a revelation as loose forward and interchange this year, last year i could nto see him staying, he couldn't run quick and only seemed to catch the ball 50% of the time. NB obviouisly spotted something in him and has brought the best out of him and other players.

All the lads have to do is play 100% for each other as they did last year.

Hopefully the recent adversity coupled with the week off will give them a renewed resolve. May was a big month and we bombed it, which makes June now even more important than May. We need to start winning again asap.

We just need to pick up a win hopefully in the next couple of games. Once we get the win i think the confidence will return and we can aim to finish in a good position in the top eight as the run in will not involve many games against the top sides.

if we play the good, basic stuff, play with patience and not try to score with each touch then we can beat bradford.

Especially we couple that with the previous desire to keep our line clean

For me its our defence thats vanished of late for some reason.

Confidence is the issue for me, once that comes back i think the team will start playing well again - the club as a whole has been through a hell of a lot in the last couple of months off the field not to mention 4 games against the top 2 teams in the country.

Its hard for the team to band together when one new player has signed on a ridiculous wage forcing everyone to take a paycut of nearly 20k a year and then the coach isn't happy with this new player as he isn't picking up anything and not learning

shut up and go away.

You, my friend, can't handle the truth

And where do you, my friend, get the 20k wage cut from?

After Dubai?

and you, my friend, don't know the truth.

But i do, my friend,.

Someone's been pulling your pud son. How do you force players to take less than you have legally bound yourself to pay them?

Since when have legalities ever bothered Halifax !
