The handling of Johnson has been awful in his 2, and i say 2 loosely, appearences. Really poor from the coaching team.

Could not understand why he went off and never came back on Friday. You can miss things when you are at the game so I assumed he'd made some really sloppy technical errors. Forced myself to watch the first twenty minutes last night and I'm still none the wiser. Thought he was better than the replacement.

Defensively he was poor to ve fair but i know he wasnt alone in that.

A small hooker will tend to struggle if the props are getting battered. Its possible Agar saw that and felt it was unfair to leave him on in that situation? That would be the most positive view. The most negative would be he's picked on a young rookie while more experienced players have played embarrasingly badly. Who knows?

I see Schoey had a dig. This time its a fairly reasonable view - the same as most fans. Although I'm not sure about having a specific go at the halfbacks is right, he's right about the pack being lightweight.

No surprise priors got 1 game with the continued farce with yellows and bans. Bowdene to start, I can barely contain my excitement.

RD 5 | Hull FC (H) : Mon Mar 14, 2022 2:40 pm  

Newman, Oledzki, Prior, Myler, Holroyd, Walters missing this week then

Re: SL RD 6 | Salford Red Devils (A) : Mon Mar 14, 2022 2:41 pm  

Matt Prior banned for this one - seems harsh but to be expected in the current climate.

If Oldeski failed his HIA we are going to be way too light!

Mustapha should get a game if fit, other than that were a bit stumped aren’t we?

If Oledski and Prior are out id go with

Walker
Handley
Sutcliffe
Broadbent
Fusitua
Austin
Sezer
Tetevano
Leeming
Thompson
Bentley
Martin
Smith

Dwyer/johnson
Donaldson
Mustapha
Mellor/Gannon

we all knew that that starting front row was inevitable sooner or later when the squad was finalised. Can someone tell me what is the sense in all this yellow cards getting bans? Just send them off if thats the case, madness.

Just send them off if thats the case, madness. Priors wasn’t really that bad, it looked like a tired grab as hed made the previous two tackles. It didn’t appear ‘reckless’ to me. Im surprised a saints player (forget which one) hasn’t been done for leading with the forearm, at the time i thought it was pretty bad… https://twitter.com/whatbevan/status/15 ... 14145?s=21
