Cheers Baz ... I remember him.
Came under Thornton as a last minute effort to save a sinking ship.

Not to worry ... perhaps I will bump into him again and get his name right this time.

You can see why the Hull fans rate Litten, given better weather and firm pitches he will be a real asset. I have been really impressed with Howden and he would be my starting 6, seems to have a calmness and authority for such a young bloke. Can we take it that the scan on his hip showed all clear.



i was told Sunday Howden was back training last week, so hopefully we will see him this Sunday, in which would be a good game to come back into for match fitness.
As long he is picked that is but i think he was better than he had been before, when he's played this season.
missed him i think since the Newcastle cc game

Dead right ... we need a stand-off ... and he's it!

Here's my view on Sunday for what it's worth:

First half we looked lazy, we raised the urgency for about 20 minutes in the second half which was enough to win the game against a well organised team with some good individuals. I'd say they're a couple of creative heads off being a decent outfit. When we got going we were easily the better side. For the second week in a row our players let them get under our skin and it costs us, arguably cost us the game v York and cost us points this week. Giving away penalties for gobbing off is simply wrong. We can expect teams to niggle us for the rest of the year now, so we have to stop acting like kids and get on with it. We are missing players and have too many playing in make shift roles.

Miloudi - I have no idea where I would play him. He needs to be able to get the ball in attacking positions, that much is clear. He ain't a fullback though, particularly when we have a more than competent fullback being wasted on the wing. Miloudi must be made of soap cause he's always a handful to put down, no one knows what he is going to do next; unfortunately that includes our players. Tali must have ran a line off him three times only to over run cause it never came, and then other times passed it when he probably shouldn't have. Hakim is better decision making off being near perfect with ball in hand.

Owen - As I say, wasted on the wing, if he isn't playing at 1 then don't play him. Particularly when we have AJB or Sanderson available who know that role and do it better. He was obviously frustrated which I think contributed to his petulance.

Litten - Quiet first half, as was everyone else. Provided much of the spark in the second. I would have him in the squad every chance I get.

Muranka - I made a point of watching him closely this week. He does a lot of tackling, more than I realised. As an attacking force, he doesn't look like getting through the line but did make yards in most collisions. he is no Brad England though whop for me is top class.

Osborne - Didn't look interested for me, a shadow of Braham.

Hedges - Due to the unfortunate injury to Cross which didn't help either, Hedges was another out of position (IMO) in the half backs. I know we signed him as one, but he isn't now. He is quite an accomplished 13 in my book.

You were very close ... was in the Nelson at the time (or whatever its name is now).
Let's just say an 'interesting' bunch gets in there ... the Urban too.

Yeah ... I pretty much agree with Jemmo's analysis ... except that I don't leave it at player level as people know.
Yes players can be mavericks BUT that is when and where the coach should step in.
That's his watch ... his domain ... his curtilage.

He should tutor his players.
Trouble is ... who tutors HIM?

He certainly doesn't seem to listen to fan's concerns.

Why?
Because some players think that can act independently and they must be team players.
There is no way that a player like Kesik can be allowed to just slap someone because he is niggled for instance.
What about your team mates?
