That's a bit harsh S-O most fans including me do not attend training . I am hopeful that the coaching staff will sort it .
We were still in the dressing room for the start of the 2nd half .
I am not a coach but we seem to let opposition attackers too much room instead of closing them down .

This is one of the reasons I thought we were crap, even a jobsworth like Bentham wasn't pulling us up for being offside which says something.

Part of looking the business of a top side is to look professional. After a great start yesterday, we just looked anything but professional.

Very few systems in place, little planning apparent, a bit haphazard and disorganised really.

Perhaps it was just the side Thornton fielded and the side against Keighley will be better.

Players on my 'dubious about' list are ...
Heil
Tali
Kesik
Miller
Hedges

No beating about the bush there mate.

I think we have to give the players a fair chance , it was Hedges 1st game back .

I do not like picking out players & naming them . There have been some positive performances & I feel we are in a better position than this time last season .

Probably a good job you aren't picking the squad then isn't it? You would be leaving them with one half back 2 hookers that may have pace but lack any signs of defence and Liam Welham in centres? Not ideal.
Could name players that have had worse games but during friendlies I find picking out players slightly unnecessary.

Don't normally pick players out, but there we go ..

They will be fine against lesser opponents I suppose.

Hull have a facility where supporters can pay £5.99 per month to see match highlights and full game replays. The Dons game is available on their site. An after match interview can be seen for free: http://www.hullfc.com/news/2017-02-07-catch-doncaster-highlights-and-reaction I've asked Carl if we can have a similar facility. We'll see what he says in this week's In The Dugout.

And to think that I would judge Hedges on one performance is risible. I believe based on what I have seen, they don't cut the mustard, they might have done in the past. We haven't got great centres or halfbacks ... they are merely OK. We scored three out of our four tries from kicks. They weren't incisive bits of creativity. They were what keeps Geoff at home.

What keeps Geoff at home is the modern game full stop but I know what you mean . We have 1 centre who has the physical attributes to be a stand out player in this league lets hope he ups his game if selected.
We have a strong pack & some creative players in Tonks & Martin plus the speed of Cross .
