Saints were settled until Longs recent injury and look what happened to them then!

Its not the reason for Hulls poor form but i is certainly a major factor.

A poor scrum half signing and the loss of form to R.Horne need to taken into account but it was a very tough year injury wise.

I agree, but i also still firmly believe we had a good enough 17 turn out every week to win, and we were poorly coached around our defensive line speed, kicking game etc

6 different full backs

Wrong 7 get ur facts right you

sorry boss have i missed one out,your never wrong are ye

Byrne, Hall, Whiting, Rich Horne, Tony and Tansey all started games at full back and Thorman had a brief spell there off the bench.

We had five different starting full backs in the first 15 games.

Thats who i forgot

Its easy to forget about Byrne. That last ditch try saving tackle where he winded himself was a cracker.

I think that actually shows our total lack of creativity in the opponents twenty and what we have all been shouting for for years a pair of top class halfbacks who actually know what their doing.

Agree. Better half backs who know their job and have authority in that position would have made a big difference.

Dont know much but apart from the Half back problem (which I agree with you) a proper full back really helps - No one ever thinks about what the players on the field are thinking. We need dare I say it a Briscoe - |Wellans - Keegan - Kemble etc etc

Now we've got a quality full back - Tansey.
