We can expect another thumping and it will happen again and again until agar is removed. Walshaw is a country mile ahead of Vera always has been and always will be. Why has Vera been played week in week out is testament to Agars coaching abilities. Couldnt tackle a sunday dinner that kid.

I think Lynne has tried hard this season and has been one of the better players (not hard I know) but I agree he's not as good as Walshaw.

One problem is that if Collis is back (and properly fit) he is a certainty for the centre. Even before Walshaw?
I'm thinking Mathers was actually taking Collis's place and Walshaw was on other side.
So then the question is, to keep Walshaw and also play Collis, you have to drop Mathers or Siejka, and Lyne, Fox or Riley

It's a tough call on the wing. Each has his own problems. I like Lyne but he keeps making mistakes that seem like easy ones he shouldn't make. Fox is good when good but has not hit full stride this year and Riley is good enough without being flash. He takes the high ball, so I'm inclined to say he stays just to plug that normally glaring flaw for us.

Assuming Lyne can play on the other wing I'd go for this:
1) Sammut
2) Lyne (but maybe Fox!)
3) Collis
4) Walshaw
5) Riley
6) Sykes
7) Godinet

Siejka can spell at hooker when McShane runs out of puff.

I know I picked Sammut over Mathers, and Sykes at full back but for all I have been calling for him to be closer to the action, his position at full back is growing on me.
He has much more urgency that Mathers has, and is a great attacking strike player from there.
As long as Sykes can keep his levels up at stand off I think Mathers is the utility player for a while. Mathers clearly has great organisation skills but we are gradually getting that back so am thinking we stick this way from now on and give it a chance.
If Collis not fit then Mathers is back in.

You can be as logical as you want but with Nero in charge you're washing your breath.

Walshaw,Hull Agar - 10 mins at most might make subs bench

Re: What can we expect at Hull then? : Tue Apr 22, 2014 1:11 pm  

If a player comes in and does a good job they should start the following week. So Walshaw and Collis for me.
I haven't seen the stats but is Molloy any worse than Washbrook?

Don't think I would play Scrutton on reputation over current form.

We have won any games back to back this season, we are very inconsistent, so although you would think we should win, I wouldn't be shocked by a wakey victory.

I would and that's a first for me.

DaveK - you aint seen us play yet but you will know how it goes with your old coach.

Re: What can we expect at Hull then? : Tue Apr 22, 2014 2:01 pm  

We have kick started the red & white side of Hull, may as well do the same for the black & white side!

Assuming everyone is fit,
I would be tempted to go

1) Riley
2) Fox
3) Collis
4) Walshaw
5) Lynne
6) Sammut
7) Godinet
Moore
9) McShane
10)Anderson
11)Kirmond
12)Ryan
13)Annakin

Subs
Raleigh
Molloy
