From what I've seen Trueman is definitely an upgrade on Reynolds but we also need a new scrum half.

Come on let's give the bloke a change. As Radders used to say we win 2 we are Grand Finalists. Lose 2 we want the coach sacked.

I don't think we would have won even if Connor stayed on the field.

Connors dangerous in their 20, due to errors and discipline we didn't get close to their line when he went off.

One of the reasons I would love to see Hookem play. Yeah he's young and inexperienced but he might, just might, be good enough to claim the 7 shirt next year.

He has been here 18 months, have we improved enough or at all.

Won't drop underperforming players or use his bench right still.

Long night coming up in Perpignan. Potentially without Connor and Ma'u on top of Tuimavave, Sao, Savelio. Catalans don't often lose two in a row at home and the forecast is 26 degrees.

Any news on McNamara and Vulikijapani?

Zero chance of that, if we don't play hookem at home against Toulose when you have 3 halfbacks out its not going to happen.

I expect Lovodua to play 6 next week and he will toss a coin and drop either Reynolds or Gale.

Never saw the game yesterday so can't comment just saw he seemed to take the brunt of the criticism from the cas fans for the second half display. Could joey and Trueman work in the halves together I wonder although I'd personally want joey to have the 9 jersey next season

not really.This is the third game we have not scored in the second half even with Connor playing
You wont score without the ball and by giving them so many penalties and repeat sets its the same old story and ending

Experience coach is what we should of gone for, Hodgson seemed a gamble to me that isn't paying off. What sort of time frame would you put on a coach to get you competing? This is his second full season and you'd imagine the bare minimum would be to show significant improvement on past seasons which we ain't seeing

Like Dave K said have we really improved since Radford left? Andy Last got us further than Hodgson.

The absolute minimum requirement this season is top six. If we don't achieve that he needs to be replaced in my view.

plus lost us the game today giving away that penalty with two minutes to go

You're hardly going to lose at Warrington! We are an absolute shambles.

Beyond frustrating to watch us beat Catalans and Wigan but then collapse like that today.
We could have been sitting nicely in the top 4 if our worst performances of the year hadn't come against Cas, Rovers and Wakey.

He's a bit of a target, probably alot to do with him leaving, alot of other Cas players have been worst but don't get anyway near the same critism. Do well when I've seen him, coming back off a serious back injury, can't be any worst that what we have now.

You will 100% win, we are awful away from home and probably won't have Connor.

People said we couldn't lose against Cas and Wakey too.

Thought we needed one new half back, but looks like we need two. Don’t let Gales automatic new contract kick in.
Won’t have been worse with Sneyd still here. At least he offers points off his boot.

All comes down to attitude yet again. Just reinforces the fact a clear out is needed.

Super League isn’t even a great competition, and we’re consistently average in it.

So you gonna sack every coach when he makes a mistake?. Cricky we will go through a few. Look am not sticking up for him or the team we should have won. But we are still 5 th when a other on here didn't think we would make top 6. I think we will. We need new players esp halfbacks. We win this we would have been sitting good. One result doesn't make us a bad team. Our hopes this year was making the top 6. We are on track. But our shortcomings are also apparent

That's why we might as well see if anyone from the reserves are ready.

Only have to look at other teams who have gambled on young halfbacks and paid off, not sure why we are so reluctant to give them a chance.

Now it's probably too late and we either have to find another pivot or keep Gale (which I think will happen)

Who mentioned sacking him, you haven't answered my question, have we improved in 18 months under Hodgson?

Yes we have. So we finish in Top 6 this year which was hulls target. Our academy team doing fantastic. Do we then sack Hodgson?

It shouldnt be difficult for any coach to instill discipline on the field yet with this guy its water off a ducks back and is never rectified.
Five penalties given away today on the first tackle in the opposition 10 relieving all the pressure and giving them a leg up field.
Fans think we are unfit yet the amount of unnecessary extra defence we put on ourselves from penalties,errors and six agains is the reason not the fitness.
One thing is now certain Gale and Reynolds both need replacing.
Hodgsons signings so he needs to accept the responsibilty and we dont need to know how good Gale is around the club.Get rid and leave him to his TV appearances with channel 4.

Didn't Jake suffer a knee injury around this time last season and our season went to poop? Really feel for Pearson a good couple of away wins this month then Leeds at home and with Leeds apparent resurgent he could have got a crowd of 14000 plus

You make some fair points. We are 5th which is a lot better than some (me included) thought where we'd be but for a club of our size we should not accept mediocrity and should be aiming higher. At present we are miles off challenging the top.

We finished 4th in the season before Hodgson come in.

Connors out and we stick with our current halfs, we won't finish too 6.

We where is the top 6 this time last year.

I'm not saying sack him, but he has to change things and take some risks
