Analysing??? Seriously, hammering most of our squad after a narrow defeat against the bar far best team in sl is ridiculous

Tad dramatic

You keep saying this, but what does he organise, certainly not the defence and our attack has been poor for a few years?

Seriously. He has won us so many matches with his organization. He leads us round the park. Our main talker on the pitch. It's Reynolds who's been the quiet one. Fair enough you don't rate him that's your opinion but to bring it up every time we lose. We don't agree let's move on

I think we should replace every player in every position with a better player who is more committed to FC who will give 100% every week while also staying under the cap, keeping within quota restrictions and without having to pay off existing contracts. Also I need a new unicorn, my last one left me.

Well done you've won a drama badge too, need any more attention?

I want Hull to be the top team and we wont with with Sneyd the way he has played the last 3 or so years. In 2016, he took on the line more, set up more trys and had a good kicking game, this hasnt done this consistently since 2017.

How does he lead us around the park when our attack is poor.

Reynolds has been disappointing too, but its early days and he certainly isnt quiet.

Any other player would have been dropped by now, but he is cant be dropped.

If you are happy with our attack and us been a 5th place team, then that's up to you, but we wont win anything unless I pivots are changed or they improve

In our spine we have:

Connor
Reynolds
Sneyd
Houghton

One is joint top for assists
One is a SoO number 6

Those 2 are not the issue. For me, we do need a new 7 and a new number 9 (I would keep Houghton for what its worth, but off the bench)

Sneyd just doesn't create, and is a liability in defence. We had a 4 on 2 overlap on Saturday and he kicked it!! He has no confidence in his passing ability to put players into a gap. I also noticed in the last few games also, that players don't really run lines for him, as maybe they know he cannot put them into the gap as he doesn't take it close enough to the line to engage defenders. All he seems to do is the drop off.

good post.

Whatever we are seeing, I’m sure BH is seeing the same

He’ll be working with what he’s got. I’m also pretty sure it’s still only early days.

I reckon some of our play is muscle memory of how we’ve been asked to play over the last few seasons. That can’t be changed overnight.

As for Sneyd, he’s not the complete halfback, but he’s been a proven match winner for us time and again.

Also think DH has been flogged to death over the last five years. I’m surprised he’s still got anything left in the tank.

Unless something drastic happens, and assuming we resign Connor, then we are going to go into 2022 with the same spine as this year. Improvements to the squad will likely take place elsewhere.

But then the contracts of Sneyd, Reynolds and Houghton expire so we may will enter 2023 with a dramatically different side. By that point I think we can all agree we will be ready for some new blood.

We need a 6 who will take the pressure of Sneyd. He's not a running 7. Reynolds has done next to nothing apart from his first 2 games and everyone was saying what a good halfback pairing we have. IMO Sneyd is not out problem. We get a decent team on the park and he will do fine. I honestly can't believe the flak he gets

He has had Connor and Kelly at 6 in recent years and the same criticism of Sneyd has been levelled at him. Unfortunately now, you need a 7 who will take it to the line, and he does not, and will not do that. Fages, Hastings, Widdop, Sezer, Richardson, Drinkwater, Lino all take it to the line, prepared to put their body on the line to engage defenders to create space for the full back. That is the role of the 7 these days in the attacking structure

You can make a point for some of those names mentioned, but never Richardson, he's so windy. Can't get a game at Cas.

He's just a show pony, i can't believe Cas actually paid a transfer fee for him. Saints will be laughing their heads off...

Another one who looked better due to Saints systems

But they bring different things. Similar to Gale. Lino was being ripped apart by they supporters couple of weeks ago. Hastings hasn't ripped trees up this year Wisdom another who supporters can't wait to get rid of. Richardson lol. Yes some of those have a better running game. But none have his kicking game. Guess we all see different things

At the moment the only thing is the players huddle before and after the game

His kicking game? We probably force the least goal line drop outs in the league. He lives off some drop goals - when if you watch those games back, I think he missed tackles in both that led to tries so he wouldn't have needed to kick them!

Plus, I'm sure everyone can agree that he didn't deserve the 2016 Lance Todd on the back of a couple of crossfield kicks and a 40/20.

Look, I can appreciate my opinion on Sneyd won't be matched by others, but I just expect more from my number 7

Yes we do thats why you shouldnt overreact when you see a player rightly criticised.
Widdop for your information has been outstanding for Warrington this season.last season he was poor.
Sneyd no doubt has won games for us in the past with his kicking game but his kicking from hand seems to be getting worse.
There are several players currently in S/L with a better effective kicking game than Sneyd especially when it comes to kicks into the in goal to turn round the opposition.
His field kicking is near to the top but again there are several players who are just as accurate including our own Jake Connor.
He has little or no running game and therefore does nothing with the ball apart from a little Ali shuffle before passing to the nearest player.
We need more from a half back.
Anyway lets leave it at that but if you do see Sneyd remind him that in Rugby League we pass the ball backwards because against Saints i think he forgot.

I find it odd because our first couple of games we were all loving the change in kicking tactics, and how many grubber kicks to the ingoal and sideline we where making, putting teams under pressure and scoring off them reynolds in particular.

For whatever reasons weve gone away from that and were seeing just a bomb put up. Which is very ineffective . Watch Maloney at Catalans, brilliant at game management, kicking decision makings top level.

I dont doubt sneyds got it in his locker to produce the kicks were talking about, weve seen him do it , i just think its a case of inconsistency and currently poor decision making. Can be improved

What do people make of Mason Lino so far I quite like him. Seems to have a good well rounded game.

He was busy when we played Wakey.

Looks to he getting better game by game

Might be a typo but Yorkshire Live has Mcintosh joining Warrington next year.

It's towards the end of an article about Lee Gaskell

Edit: It was a typo, they've changed it to Hull

Confirmed today Mcintosh has done his achilles.

Watson also confirmed his Hudds career is over. Hopefully he can get him fit for the start of next season

That's a shame, thought he looked good on Friday and Mitch had alot more joy once he went off.

If he can recover he will be a good signing next year.
