Re: What can we expect at Hull then? : Wed Apr 23, 2014 11:39 am  

Anybody that can predict what RFA will do should be winning the lottery every week . Even though Lubey outplayed the current England centre there will be no guarantee he will even be in the squad or even not at Dewsbury . To put a performance in as he did with the mouth injury he has was brilliant. Even after the way he as been treated by RFA with the 10 mins substitutions and the public name calling at a forum ,( 7 min WALSHAW) he is still prepared to put his body on the line. It makes me wonder if RFA wasn’t allowed to ditch every player TD & RH produced how are squad would be performing now with some ( Danny Cowling , Jordan Grayston  Mattie Wildie ) of our OWN in it.

Message we'll and truly delivered to Mathers, Scruton, Washbrook and Fox that putting your body on the line is a prerequisite of being a Rugby League player at any level and because you're not doing it you're dropped: note: not rotated/rested/injured but DROPPED!

Sykes doesn't fall into that bracket IMO, he's beginning to look his age and can't quite do what he used to.

Sorry my error Tautai swapped round for Kirmond. I would try Tautai at loose forward

Looks a great side to me Avenger, out with the consistent underperformers and in with a mixture of youth, experience and all the grafters. If only this coach knew how to coach we'd be competing every week instead of getting thumped by everyone we play.

Looks a great side to me Avenger, a nice mixture of youth, experience and all the grafters. Kick out the underperformers and make them earn their place. Too many lately being picked without merit. If only we had a coach who could see it?

Though Lauititi was out for 'months' ?

Damm I forgot about Annakin. You could put Tautai back at prop or have Annakin at 2nd row. Tautai I would give a go at loose he is capable of making a break and can offload when people wake up and be wise to him. Agar now as 2 week to sort something out. Sick of the gelling excuse. Do something on the training pitch you MUPPET!

Sammut to stay at fullback for me. Siejka and Godinet in the halves. Sykes as cover for 1,3,4,6 and not in the 17 unless we have injuries. Mcshane starting and Wildie on the bench. Don't see the need for a specialist 13 or in our case washbrook, would play one of the second rowers there. So start with Walshaw, Ryan and Kirmo. With Annakin, Wildie and 2 props. Or we could play Mr T as a loose forward if all props are fit.

What form has Siejka shown to justify him as the main pivot/play maker in the team?

Sammut and Godinet have been the most creative pivots in the team so far this season. We need a strong elusive runner who can take the high ball at full back and for me Sammut can give much more than that by managing our game and directing the team around the park.

Sykes could hopefully do a job back there at full back if not then its a choice between Mathers/Riley/Siejka/Jowitt

To be fair to the lad he's only started the last couple, and that was against the team sitting 2nd in the league and last years league winners......contrast that to the two games everyone keeps going on about with the pairing of Sammut and Godinet....against London who have lost 10/10....and Catalans who probably gave the most shambolic team perfomance that day I can remember!

Lets not forget either that the golden pairing of Sammut/Godinet were together in the 6-60 defeat to Leeds in the cup....

Sammut switching to full back I think has worked and gives us a better option there than an out of sorts Mathers....Siejka certainly has the pedigree and for me has shown glimpses that he could be a real decent player for us....like all players with his background though he will need time.....the more he trains and the more he plays the better he will become for me....don't just ditch him now because he aint pulled trees up the last twice against quality opposition......

For me the 1,6, 7 for Hull should be Sammut, Siejka, Godinet....

Re: What can we expect at Hull then? : Wed Apr 23, 2014 5:23 pm  

The games I have seen Fox puts his body on the line each time he plays, especially taking the ball up. How long do you seriously expect the young players would survive they are just not physically ready for week in and week out rugby.
