As debuts go, I thought he had a really good game. They brought him off late on for Batchelor but to be honest I'd have left him in place.

He topped the tackle count with 32 and only missed 1. (Arona was next behind him with 26)
He only carried the ball 8 times but made an average gain of 7.25 which is only beaten by Ashurst in the forwards.
He made no errors but did give a penalty away, which I seem to remember was a bit harsh on him.

I liked him and would be happy to keep him for the season (or longer). He's only 24 so has a lot of development in him. Kirmond isn't going to last much longer so we need more than young Batch to cover that side.

He had a good debut. His tackling was very effective. Think Hull have plans for him so best we could expect is probably to extend his loan month by month should it be needed.

Thought his tackling technique was very good.

Yes, think he had a good debut for us yesterday.

Should the arrangement be offered on a longer term, or even permanent, would definately think he would be good for us.

With Molloy's long standign injury problems and Kirmo being out at the moment, it certainly gives us options without flogging the others, like Ashurst, Sio, Batchelor and Crowther

Very good addition.

I think our S/R is by far the most hotly contested - Accurst looks suburb, Kirmond was a start against Saints, Batchelor shows up well in every game, Hadley looked great and we still have Crowther and Anakin chomping at the bit.

Some hard choices.

Impressed by the guy, as were all sat around me.Would endeavour to seek season loan.

thought he was close to MoM
Hull will have long term plans for him I would imagine, given the age profile of their back row.

I'm not shocked he did well, very hard working player, rarely misses a tackle and runs stringly. I was surprised he went out on loan, particularly with Ellis out and Watts banned, all the pre season talk was on him in our 17 to replace Pritchard, but got injured in pre season which set him back.

I reckon with Easter coming up he will be back at us after an initial loan he will be back at Hull, good to see him doing well and it benefits both teams.

Thats good when you consider Dean has been out with a hip injury for 6 weeks and that would have been his first game back.

Actually, thinking about it, maybe he wasn't that good. Should probably leave him here a bit longer. You don't need him for now do you?

You can't argue with topping the tackle count when you're on loan at club you have no affinity with. Thought he did very well.

Very average. What was wrong with playing bachelor annikin molloy (is he fit?)

Very true batch should be over him and kirmond. No disrespect to kirmond as he has been a great servant but he is spent, and offers little and has so for too long now.

It's comments like this that make me wonder what game people are watching.
Annakin and Molloy are nowhere near Hadley and Batchelor is a pup and can only get better.
Hadley runs some great lines, it's just we're not on the same wavelength.

Hadley is a Loan player and kirmond for the last two seasons has been poor. For me Hadley is decent and played well, though how can he justify taking batch's place in the first team when although young has played commendable

Because at this moment Hadley is a better player than Batch

Yep, Hadley is a loan player but we are hardly going to bring him in to watch Wakey.
Maybe Batchelor is learning off Hadley in training?
Who knows but Hadley and Batchelor would be in front of Kirmond now.

Correct you dont bring in players that are not as good as your own.

I agree both should be infront of kirmond

Yes that's true but has he been massively better then batch in matches to justify. Many teams bring in players on loan to cover positions. We have done it in the past. Batch and Hadley should be over kirond in my opinion

I thought Hadley did ok last night, certainly not your worst player and smhis stats look pretty good

30 tackles (1 miss)
3 tackle busts
0 errors
Over 7 metres gain.

In a game were you lost because of poor defence and errors, that doesn't look too good.

Edited, I'm assuming you meant bad not good?

He only played 43 mins

Hadley wasn't to blame for the loss.
From the first set I knew we wasn't on form when we had got a penalty from KO and grubbered it too deep and granted leeds a 7 tackle set.
Penalties being given away cheeply - thought that Leeds got away with a lot but its no excuse for repeating offences that had been picked on before.
Not gonna lie I thought our forwards were abysmal, catching the ball stood still and probably over doing it abit with the footwork when all we need is to run it straight and hard. However I though Arona had one of his best games especially the first half.
Sio is not a hooker and should've interchanged at Loose with Wood (who did quite well tbh) playing the 80 if possible.
