Something has to give and quickly, we are dire and not scoring a single point in 3 games is humiliating.

Poching ultimately had better players to work with, as did Chester, and for large parts of the last 5 years we were poor. This squad isn't a patch on last seasons so it's no wonder we are struggling. We have no game breakers (other than Jowitt, Murphy and Tanginoa). The rest are just work horses at best. Pitts and Ashurts are the least dynamic back rowers in the competition. Lino only seems to spark when there is about 10 minutes left and then its often headless chicken time. Gaskell may as well not bother for all the impact he has on a game. Not seen enough of Smith in the halves to fully comment but there is a reason why he was in the championship and not SL.

And now he's head coach and completely failing at it.

Where does all these theories about crap team and poor coach work when you see one of the top coaches in our game and a club bristling with big name signing go down by 60 at Salford , what’s hulls problem or excuse ? . Isn’t working for them throwing the money about is it .Puts our quandary in perspective really

You are a complete bell.
He's had four games at it FFS....
If you're looking at it with the narrow minded attitude you take to all things, then what's Wellen's excuse with all his resources?

He's lost all 4 of those games, with 3 of them being nillings. He's simply not up to the job - never was - and shouldn't have been given the position.
The real crux of it is when you listen to his post match interviews - he already sound like the last days of Chester where he couldn't identify the problem, let alone come up with a solution to fix it.

Clearly targeted lyne and kershaw wing in second half with much joy , first a bomb knocked back into welcoming arms and ran round a static lyne to get near the posts , then two simple quick moves caught them both off guard again and pawing fresh air to go in the corner , 16 points down in the blink of an eye.

We don’t know what leeway he was given with signings - he might have been told he couldn’t have what he wanted for all we know
At the end of the day you can’t coach something that’s not there!

The thing is, at least 2 players have gone public saying all was not well under Poching, and how happy they were with Applegarth, and pre-season training was spot on etc, etc. There's no hiding place now is there? We're not a team of kids, are we really that low on quality and experience that we can go 3 games without scoring?!!
