He was happy to drop Pauli Pauli and Max but he has a blind spot in respect of Brough. What has he got to lose after our current run of form, I doubt it would make the performance any worse and who knows it might be what is needed in the halves.

Looking at yesterday’s game yes the half’s were poor and offered little to nothing in attack but that’s only half the story I’m afraid .The whole way we attack is shambolic with players taking long passes stood and not running onto the ball ,I watch all sky games and it doesn’t seem a problem to other teams,in fact it’s a basic of the game and we can’t or won’t do it. Why have we stopped offloading in or before the tackle ,we’ve got the five drives and a kick off to a fine art ,twice yesterday Toupou could have unloaded to escare who had a clear run to the line but took the tackle ,it’s not a dig at toupou its a dig at whoever ,whatever has turned these player into such one dimensional players.This team has played sensational rugby over the last season or two ,what the hell has gone so wrong for them to now play like they are just starting out together, we struggle to get the basics right on game day so set movers are pie in the sky until something dramatically changes at the club.
I’ll be going to hull kr as a matter of loyalty and hoping for improvements not the points I’m afraid .

Absolutely agree. Our right edge yields nothing, yet Brough (and to some extent Hampshire) play that way. Tanginoa fills that left second row berth really well with Tupou in the centre.

Alternatively if Chester sticks with Brough then Atkins has to come in for Lyne, because something needs to change down that side. With the service BJB is getting we may as well stick Pauli Pauli on that wing.

th3 reason nothing
Is effective down broughs side is because he's so slow the defence know he's never going to run with it, he runs sideways takes all the space and It makes everyone else look bad.

Well plenty of views on our half backs so far and I think everyone agrees that one or the other must be dropped or maybe both.


Its now Chris Chester call, and as the saying goes the worst thing he can do, is to do nothing.

Fans can call for rocky with brough escare with brough it won't make any difference because brough is simply too dominant, he wants 5 balls to himself, fin piece of jigsaw my backside his legs went ages ago. Address the problem of brough and it will turn our way
1 escare
6 Miller
7 rocky
Pace to worry any team
And tell our best forwards no.ifs or bits roll your sleeves up and be prepared to play 80 minutes

This won’t happen. Chester suffers from CCBW syndrome, the curse of British coaches and will never drop Brough or Miller.

It is costing us and all we can hope now is by some miracle Brough has one good, not even great, just good performance left in him because Chester will not change. In fact the more obvious the change and the more demanding the fans get the more he will dig in! It’s tragic it really is.

Hampshire may not be the answer but he’s far more worthy than a 35 year old has been and a lazy Aussie. The fans never wanted Brough, then for a while we looked like we were wrong, we weren’t.

Re: 19 V 'ull : Mon Aug 12, 2019 7:29 am  

The club identified Brough to provide the final link, it aint happened. Other than drop Brough what are the options, could he play at 9. I think the club tends to show loyalty to some and gives the impression it couldn't care less about others. Its stance with Rocky seems crazy and the off loading to Shuds even worse. We have a squad that I honestly think could have coped better if used correctly with the injury situation. I don't know for sure I just think CC probably would have offered his resignation based on the results. We lack a spark on the pitch and CC seems to lack a basic understanding of his squad and capabilities, somethings just not right.
The reluctance to change things at 6 and 7 could send the club down and if we stay up what will happen next season persisting with with Miller and Brough

Re: 19 V 'ull : Mon Aug 12, 2019 7:33 am  

Unless we get half back injuries Brough shouldn’t play again this season. If Reynolds had still been at club would have put him in front of Brough. Slow,predictable and lacking ideas would be words to describe him for a few months now. Sometimes in the past his kicking game has helped but even that is poor now. If Chester isn’t to go then he needs the balls to drop him and go with Miller and Ryan
