Green was poor and lost the ball from the kick off return after we had set ourselves up to possibly nick it near the end. Salford scored from the subsequent possession.

My team for Leeds

Shaul
Talanoa
Rankin
Sa
Lineham
Pryce
Sneyd
Paea
Houghton
Bowden
Mini
Ellis
Westy

Cunningham
Feka
Watts
Thompson

No idea how many mins but given he's made more tackles than any prop I assume it's been during a period of limited ball.
It's interesting he's made more metres a carry than any of the others. 3 metres a carry against watts stats. That's not much to judge on though with only 6 carries opposed to 17. But last game v wire greens carries n metres per carry were identical pretty much to watts n paeas but more tackles than paea n just short of watts n on less game time I'd guess at.
Green isn't a world beater but personally think he's getting unfairly singled out.
All that said I'd like to see feka. Love the energy he brings

Agree with this. I like the idea of Rankin in the centre. Think Sa is a doubt n radders mentioned michaels

Would be a huge ask for Rankin to play at centre up against either Watkins or Moon.

Can't see Shaul coming back in tbh.

It's a fair point, maybe Thomson there then.

Bowdens not good enough. Said this a while ago. Feka needs to play on Thursday.

Once again, Chase kills us. When will we learn?

The props should be Watts, Paea, Feka and either green or Bowden.

Thompson should be played out wide as he can cause serious damage out there like he showed last night. Other option is Ellis at prop, but again I like he out wide.

I wasn't there last night but I'd stick with Yeaman. By all accounts he had a poor game but he tends to play well against Leeds and a bit harsh dropping him after one game imo.

But Thomson has started the season great. I can't think of many players that can play back row, prop and centre aswell as he does.

Think thompson better at prop. He's unique in that position. Gives us something different

Radford looking for a poor game from Yeaman so he can include Michaels at centre.
Problem is Sa has a shoulder injury so once again cant string two or three matches together without injury so I guess it will be Yeaman and Michaels at centre for Leeds.
If Shaul is fit we have to find a place for Rankin.The team is desperate for some pace.

i look forward to your evidence to support your initial statement then rather than cheap heresay. somehow i don't think we'll be seeing it

Love to know the stats of how many games we have won after a break, I'm sure we always get beat, it's like the players switch off with the free time and can't get in the right frame of mind for the game.

But if you read their tweets, they're dying to get back on the field and can't wait to get stuck in.

Just seen the trys, some really poor defence trys especially out wide on Chase. A bit disappointed with a couple of Rankins one on one attempts, could have maybe done better for three of their try's.

IMO opinion we have a really strong squad, leeds obviously will be a really tricky opponent, however there should be no excuses for not getting into the top 8. Unfortunately missed the game on saturday, glad to hear Rankin had a good game...i'd love to see Michaels, Rankin and Shaul play together..would be great if they could all fit into the 13 man squad, if it was up to me i'd like Yeaman to miss out...like i said didn't see how he did on Saturday but his ball supply is really frustrating in terms of putting in his winger to score

i could not bring myself to watch the 'highlights', but I watched these attempted Rankin tackles live from the corner of the West Stand and they all looked pretty half hearted and feeble.
Given the level of strapping on his shoulder, which was then re-applied at the beginning of the 2nd half during the injury stoppage; i assume he was carrying a knock which he didnt want to aggrevate by tackling.

If injured, strange to play him in a role which was very likely to call upon the need to tackle one on one.

Not seen it back yet but Murdock saying in HDM Lineham's disallowed try was a definite try?

Some of us could see this before the season started.

Criminal to have the bin man & Yeaman down the same side.

It's on the Hull FC Live highlights. The camera angle is not good, so the actual grounding is not seen, but there is nothing to suggest it wasn't a try.



That's the problem with armchair viewing, it's not much better than RH if you're interested in getting a full view of the game.

The two weeks off definitely did us no favours. We were confident after the Hudds and Wire games and Salford were in disarray after the Saints match. The extra time gave them the opportunity to re-group. We would have beaten them if we'd played last weekend.

I think you need to learn how to read, followed FC since 92 so know how poor we are. Salford are a poor side and to get into the 8 you have to beat the poor sides. Just because Koukash is treating Salford like a real life fantasy team doesn't make you a good side. As I said earlier no Dobson was the best news ever for Salford.

Just watched the game again on Fc live .will be interesting to see how theref explains ho poor he was ,in fact he was a joke,from back of the posts its hard to see if anything is wrong from the video tonight he was shocking .let salford get away with murder .Yes some silly plays cost us but like i have alredy said they were not that bad.The amount of ball yeamo had if he was faster than Usain Bolt he never had the opportunity to run.

Saw the tries last night. Tried to look at them as if I was a fan of both sides, and it's interesting. As a Hull fan some of the tackling looked poor, but from a Salford perspective I reckon I'd feel the same about Thompson's tries.

Just seen the tries, some of that defending was awful.
