I agree about Lineham. All of their tries were scored down our right side and, strangely enough, all of ours were scored down their right. I'm sure its something that will be looked at, but as you say Lineham does not look as fit as previously.

GROW UP

Again we had no last play, just like Cas away. Yeaman walking the ball in? why not try a kick to corner, try and push, its the last play FFS

Erm, ok?



Did your Mrs run off with the milkman this morning, or something?

Yep, should get rid of it as a rule in my opinion. I would like to see an end to the free play rule as well.

I think its obvious to everyone that the one major thing we are missing is a good coach, Radford may become one, but to do is apprenticeship as head coach of Hull is neither fair on him or the fans.

A good halfback is one thing we are missing at the moment. Hopefully sneyd and Pryce will address that problem

I think a good coach with our squad now, would do better than Radford with his squad next season, if that makes sense, hope im wrong

I get that that rule is just to speed games up a bit however it is daft when it saves the catcher from a knock on, should have to be caught and controlled

bit controversial, but our distribution,decision making from dummy half
is awful. -IMO

It is terrible was hoping Cunningham would get some game time to see if he is any better.

Nothing controversial at all imo, it is the poorest aspect of our whole attacking play, it’s been holding us back for far too long now.

agree with you, a smart side would have had the game sewn up by half time!

Not seen anyone mention it but Abdull's injury isn't that serious, he has whiplash and concussion.

Well before the game I would certainly have taken a point if offered given how well Cas have been this season. But it really does feel like a point lost for me. 18-4 up with 15 minutes to go should have been enough for victory but I had a sinking feeling from the moment Cas scored that we'd blown it. Game management by that point was poor and hopefully this is something that Sneyd and Pryce can correct next year.

On the plus side though the players put in a good effort last night. I don't think that anyone can say they didn't try last night. Our attack needs to be more ruthless as I feel we could have got a few more points on the board and it was our left hand side that ultimately cost us the points (so it's not just Crooks to blame there!). Rankin was a big loss I thought as Azza (as we all know) is not a half and like many have said already I think if Rankin had stayed on then we might just have won that. He and Abdull were great in the halves last night.

Any further news on their injuries yet? I can't imagine either will be fit for next week. Are we looking at Azza and Horne in the halves next week do we think or is Miller maybe going to be recalled from Donny?

Well that is good news. I feared the worst for him last night.

That is good news, although whiplash can take a long time to clear up. He could easily miss the rest of the season.

our passing at times is atrocious - too many looped passes which take an age to get to the players. Compare that to Clark last night - fizzing passes out of acting half and gets the attack on the front foot.

Also - I thought Hadley in attack was poor last night. Twice our players had to wave him to run a drop off - once Shaul, and then another by Ranking, who ended up losing the ball.

If the half back is running across the line, then the 2nd rower should drop off, not carry on running with Rankin

Anyone know a solicitor who could help with that?

Thought Rankin was superb last night before his injury, such an elusive runner and good hands (other than his mistake). I have a feeling that he could be used to great affect next season as a foil to Sneyd. I have a horrible feeling that Pryce is going to be injury riddled.

There are plenty onthe TV that advertise every bloody day.....you just can't watch TV without one popping up. I hope that Abdull gets better for you soon.

I think we all know which solicitor Chris means

Absolutely spot on.

What is so irritable, is that we never see any improvement, week in week out.
and to cap it all, it is so easy fixable, with the right technical coach.

Houghton is great when we get quick play of the ball, quick from the mark. but in recent weeks he seems to dither around before passing it, doesn't do it straight off the ground which is what he did last season, he also went wider with first pass missing first receiver which seemed to work better.

Yeaman's try second half came about from a cracking sharp, fast, accurate delivery from acting half by Rankin. Quality in that area buys the outside backs so much time.
