We need to think less about Hull FC and more about the form of our own players. Our main men: Hastings, French, Hardaker, Smith, even, they all had stinkers to some extent.

Which is why he is in SL.

However it's only when he was at fullback that we had any attack.

The kick through to manfredi and then failed last attack play where the only bits of teeth we showed all game.

Him and hardaker should share the role with one moving in if the other is struggling to make an impact like today.

It’s IL who holds the purse strings but there is also too much loyalty to players who should have retired or moved on. Lockers went on far too long. The new contract for Clubb was unwarranted and bonkers for a player his age and Powell proved today (again) why the club’s apparent loyalty to,him is misplaced. He offered absolutely nothing in attack from dummy half.

Players like Lockers, Clubb, Powell and even TL would have been moved on way before now in the past. It’s no use blaming the salary cap saying we can’t do that as there younger and better players running around in SL in these positions.

In my opinion it’s a matter of philosophy. The Wigan of old was always looking to improve and so would if offered (or found) a better player move the likes of Powell on. I am convinced if that happened today they would say “no thanks” and aren’t even looking.

There is no room for loyalty at the pro level in sport. When a player like Clubb’s contract is coming to an end the first thing the club should be doing is looking to replace a player of his age. If they can’t for whatever reason all he would warrant is a one year deal or rolling contract. If the player didn’t like it and could find another club offering better, let him leave.

I disagree, Bevan either plays fullback or not at all. You need wingers to make yards from kicks and he doesn’t. Having said that he is totally different class with the ball in his hand, so Zak to centre or out of the team for me.
