And what was the point of recalling Kershaw, an actual winger.

Chester’s SL Head Coach career is finished for me because who’d want him after this?

Did you not see him move to full back after 20 minutes.
Chester explained that was the plan.

Our coach recruited one of them and gave the other a 5 year deal. Makes it hard for him to drop them. Furthermore the main replacement is a bloke he doesn't rate, tried to offload to Huddersfield and hasn't agreed the contract offered.

Agreed. However you're only as good as your last game regardless of contract length or recruitment choices. They're not doing the jobs they were brought in to do.

Usual rubbish again. It is now obvious Chester is not the man for the job, we are not improving but there is no way Carter will sack his mate. The players are trying but the system is a mess and Chester doesn't have the ability to fix it. He should walk but then again, who would come in now?

Thankfully Salford have kicked on to win at least.

Chester doesn’t need to walk if he’s big enough to admit Brough and Miller are NOT working. Sadly he won’t and deserves his fate which should be the sack.

For the record I actually think Miller is the problem more than Brough but at least one needs to go.

Finally Hull we’re not great but then they didn’t need to be.

Today was possibly a slight improvement but, we are getting rock all from our halves.
The two most creative players or game breakers were Hampshire and Escare. Brough and Miller as a pair are giving us NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING.

Certainly either Bouugh and / or Miller need to take a rest and for me it would be Brough.

Everything is going through him and nothing is being created at all.
At least with Miller/Hampshire/Escare in the halves we have a running threat from any option but at the moment, everything is so damn slow and easy to read.

Our 2 tries came from Hampshire so he HAS to play in the halves.

Our pack look willing enough although Fifita isn't fit and at least there is something to build on for next week.
Time for our coach to be brave or we will be utterly reliant on London/KR/Shudds to keep losing.

Obviously, something will change next week, with either KR moving above us or possible safety if we can win.
THE biggest game of the season.

Why do we continue to hit players from the side when defending, Hulls forwards were dragging us up field in collision, hit them head on then wrap them up and our slow play of the ball is gifting sides time in defence. Frightening thing is Hull were poor

Re: 19 V 'ull : Sun Aug 11, 2019 5:03 pm  

Have to say the halfback partnership of brough miller isn’t cutting it at all. The last tackle kicks and plays too are long kick straight into a backs hand or hastily thrown together grubber that seems to have no intention (to force a repeat set for example).

Hull weren't great but, it's difficult to know how much of that was down to us or whether they were having an off day.
The 2 length of the field efforts proved to be the difference.
The intercept was a shocking individual error and the other effort was very poor defence.

I was pleased that we kept going though and there is something to build on.

Sneyd kicked the 40, 20s in the first half with the wind behind him why didn’t we follow suit

Re: 19 V 'ull : Sun Aug 11, 2019 5:15 pm  

Why would u want to play Escare in the halves? He doesn’t have the skill set to play 6 or 7. Full back is probably his best position, he’s great at bringing the ball back but not brilliant under the high ball or in defence, on second thoughts.....it might be best to leave him on the wing

Hull knocked on five times in the first 20 minutes, no team should win the first half let alone the game with stats like that. We are so dreadful we can’t even exploit that. At least two of Hulls tries would have been stopped by a competent pub team!

Today was atrocious even in a season full of atrocious performances.

No way am I ever going to stop supporting Trinity but I honestly don’t think I can justify buying a season ticket next year. I know all the arguments about it being counter productive but when your head coach can’t see the obvious then why should I?

Sorry MC but you’ve been stuffed by a coach and a number of players who you put your trust in, Miller in particular. Get rid now whilst you still have a chance of at least one up game that a new coach usually brings, it’s our only chance of a win imo.

I’d suggest McDermott, mainly because he’s the only available coach with any experience who is available. Tragic really.
