Been watching since a kid at Central Park so not sure where your coming from but suffice to say I won’t post what I was going to reply as I’m just unhappy with the game - I’ll argue with you later
Ddtftf please ignore my post - get what you we’re saying now! Just gutted at loosing like that.

Sorry

It's quite simple. We just don't have the necessary technology/money to do that. I think it's a great idea, though.

All good attacking teams have a hooker who will look to go forward from the play the ball and get the team on the front foot we’ve not had that for years and as long as we have Powell nothing will change. When he went off Hastings had to go nine with Field in the halves, as presumably this is what we will start with next year. Too many individual mistakes, drop balls, missing one on one tackles.

Concerned that we may not make the play offs and the team is not good enough to compete for trophies next year either. We need a joey lussick type of player, and improve our back line. I think today proved that Lam needs to be replaced for next season because it was a game we could have won with a better coach.

Very entertaining game and we're starting to show some attacking threat. Even though Hastings had a great game in the halves, I reckon we should have put him at hooker once Sam had his head smashed into the ground by a player standing after a tackle. Field on the halves.

BTW it's obvious how the service from hooker was affected by his absence and with us not playing an experienced hooker replacement, but how much defense did we lose with Sam off the field?

It would be great to coach support play and the odd offload, because HullKR are showing that this style of game is entertaining and the games going to die if the on field product doesn't improve. The last two weeks have had a couple of crackers, both involving HKR. iMO the rules should gradually change to favour this style of game.

The major annoyance outside of the second half result was the HullKR player having a convenient head injury four tackles after the incident. Blatent gamesmanship that the game has to deal with. It's very very easy to use this for your teams advantage unless there is some sort of downside.

As always recently, a good fast hooker as hurt us, Parcell, Clarke Roby Dwyer etc but we continue with Powell, Bad selection/tactics or blind loyalty due to the wigan way

As Powell lasted 5 minutes he cannot cop Any blame tonight.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Agreed but a perfect example of how quick hookers influence the game compared to our current number nine

I'm not sure I agree regarding our attacking threat. We scored 14 points against a decent defence but one that probably isn't top 4 standard and one of the tries we scored was lucky, having come from a mistake by a player out of position. Other than that we scored our trademark tries in the corner having to resort to some incredibly good finishes to score. They were tries we really had no right to score. Basically, we could very easily have been nilled in that game. We still weren't creating good opportunities or making many breaks anywhere on the field.
