In all the trys we scored Brough had no involvement with all of them down the left other than Hampshire’s individual effort. It is time to revert back to Miller and Hampshire, with Escare at full back.

Plenty of effort but poor application and organisation on the field led to our downfall today, still offering nothing in attack and was easily read with telegraph passes.Our attacking line is still as flat as a fart with players receiving the ball stood still .Sneyd had far too much time with ball in hand for my liking, and should have been harassed every time he took the pass .Thought hull were going to put a big score on us but credit to the lads the heads didn’t go down and kept having a dig.
In all honesty I think we’ll scrape through this season,then it’s got to be a change at the top as it looks like he’s taken this team as far as he can

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.

Re: 19 V 'ull : Sun Aug 11, 2019 9:34 pm  

Miller has stopped taking on the line . He either passes straight away or run sideways and give a hospital pass to one of the forwards .In the practice we were drawing a man and passing to put a player through the gap but that seemed to be forgotten in the game . I know it's difficult when a teams defence is moving up quickly but that can be countered by the attacking line standing deep and timing runs on to the ball. But what do I know. I have only been watching rugby for 60 years.

I’d like to drop both but i’m not sure thats feasible right now, so i’m going for dropping Brough and reinstating the Miller & Hampshire partnership that worked alright last year.

Well at least we have that option. Lets be thankful that our crazy coach failed in his plan a few weeks back when he tried to offload Hampshire to Shudds in return for Roberts.

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).

abimal all season - miller is ne - time to move him on and get a young nrl half

Our defence was decent for most of it, but we never looked like scoring. When Rocky passed the ball to Tumavave, I thought we were on top and at that point it could have been a different game.

But they put Brough under pressure each time. We didn't put Sneyd under pressure. Thankfully, Hull misfired today.

I just think we look a spent force. We're playing relegation rugby. My worry is that Hull KR will be safe by the time they play London, by beating us mainly, and may take the eye off the ball when they play London. Next week is all or nothing. Rovers win and they'll let London in. We win and we're safe, pretty much so, as KR and London will take points off each other in the penultimate game.

Except I can't see us scoring tries, and Rovers are going well.

no chance against hull kr at there place

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.
