65% completion rate ! 83% v Dragons I believe These are the things Carty must work on - the basics We have to get these right and I believe we will over the course of the season 6 agains and penalties need to be less than 5 a game combined with 85% completion rate a minimum standard Carty has to work on the basics and I’m sure he will talk about it most of the season We need a squad overhaul as we all know Fash Sao and Lane to move on and be replaced by 2 props and a second row bit all of at least 75% more quality and fitness We still need that massive centre who scores 20+ tries a season Richie Barnett Snr type player Anyways onwards and upwards We don’t want to lose the next 2 matches on the spin

Even in a heavy defeat, you could at least recognise structures being put in place. Been a while since I’ve seen a Hull side with even a little bit of shape. Personnel just not at the standard needed to get anywhere near a team like Wigan. Years of abysmal recruitment and retention will take a while to correct. Think we have the right people in place to make it happen.

[quote="UllFC":s4we9dqq]The worry is Fash and Chamberlain are under contract for 2026 and I can see Lane's slightly improved form winning him a new deal and the club doing a '2024 player of the year resigns' announcement. With Sao and Ashworth also out of contract we need to unearth several players for the pack. Ashworth looks good when he plays but we need to assess the injury record (this week was just an illness however)[/quote:s4we9dqq] Atm Lane is starting back rower, Chamberlain is battling Briscoe to be first choice left centre and 1 injury in the pack and Fash is in. Either during this season or by start of next, (if they are all still here) they all need to be further down the pecking order. Lane battling for a bench spot, Chamberlain a back up centre/back rower and Fash nowhere near the back row/6th prop option. I’d have Salabio above Fash for front row already.
