Now the weakest attack in the league

I'm glad we've lashed £300k on game management in the halfs this year

I don't think it is solely down to the halfs, it's more to do with our pack and backs all been solid and not been able to break the line or have that extra piece of skill to score trys.

How many trys have we scored from our own half?

Yes we have splashed out money on halves.

Its a shame their team-mates aren't backing them up and giving them more options.

I think the close margins are a sign of a team with potential but how far through the season is that potential going to click.

However. It doesn't matter if it's 1 point or 50 points. A loss is a loss. The Leeds gamecfor me was a true sign of the league this year. I believe that the quality of the teams is closer than ever and a result could go any way any time. But it's the desire to win that separates the teams. The likes of saints Leeds are at the top because they can grind out the game and have that extra passion to win. It's this that we lack atm and I hope that the Derby tirns that around.

Also I think we're making stupid errors. Sneyd has made a few critical errors such as the two v Catalans and there are others to note too. Sure all teams have these but the best ones can bounce back from it and still win a game (we were lucky Catalans got so many players injured I feel as otherwise they may have turned us over).

Come on you hull!!!

pryce and sneyd were 2 of the top 3 try assists last season, do you think they've just turned up this season and decided not to set tries up?! they will be doing set moves given by the coaching staff.

erlee
vs cas they bombed 2 walk in tries if my memory serves me correctly
vs wigan they bombed atleast 4/5
vs wire they bombed 3 and had a perfectly good try not given.

put those together and the margins wouldn't have been close
