Isn’t that what Rohan showed last year? There is no mystery about Hull's sudden uptake in form. They spent big on two halves and a full back for 2023, but struggled to get them consistently on the field for the first ten games. Now they have things are suddenly looking up.

Partly that partly Powell being a bog average coach too.

Hilarious to see Wire falling apart.
They thought they'd won it in April.

I said it before that Smith would make a very good assistant coach working with someone like Uncle Tony.
His support staff are not experienced enough either.
Hooley 100% should have played yesterday.
If he can play Roberts he can play Hooley.
I`m not saying Hooley is going to be the answer but if we don`t play him we will never find out.
Smiths team selections leave a lot to be desired and so far this season for me Johnson has looked better at SH than hooker.
We seem to be mirroring Leeds United with signings, poor team selections and not playing to a plan.
I would give Smith until the end of the season, failure to make the play offs should see him leave even though injuries will have played it`s part.

Playing to potential compared to other sides, which is true but for mine you are either in the tent p1ssing out or outside p1ssing in. Not right him and JP want to do both

A huge opportunity for Cas to do the double over us with the players we have missing at the weekend. Going to be a big ask for us to win this as Cas always raise their game.

You do realise that Cas have a large number of players missing too?

I was right though

I wasn't confident when i saw the team sheet, especially when Holdroyd pulled out.

But its a game we should have won, especially with the bright start. Our backs forgot how to defend and we let in some soft tries out wide.

Fair play to Cas tho, their attack really clicked, there shift plays from left to right were great, loads of lead runners and bodies in motion.
