I'm dreading it, I see nothing but a defeat. I just can't bring myself to watch it anymore. I'll pay but I just can't watch.

Hampshire's performance v Saints must have nailed the fullback spot for Jowitt but must leave Chester wondering where he could possibly use Hampshire. Miller's absence should allow the team to create some cohesion and go forward and it's a great opportunity for someone to step forward and claim 6 for themselves.
We have been on the bad end of several decisions and it is uncanny that our every VR referral is sent up as no try whilst it's always sent up as Try when we're defending.
The Leeds game turned on an absolutely unique decision to call a forward pass against the "home" team at Headingley. One big difference was that this forward pass wasn't whilst Leeds would have to pass like quarterbacks to be called forward at home. It was ever thus!!

No it's not a leap in faith for our coaching team, it's based on
Hope
Allowing Chester 4 games to get it right. Hope he does,
Lasts low down on some of the squad.
An ex Hull Centre who needs a good game.
A squad in general that must put a 80 mins performance in
And a Hull team who have just played a mammoth game with a short turn round.

Cheaters already had 4 games to get to right from last season though.

Re: Next up Hull : Mon Apr 19, 2021 3:07 pm  

Hull are off the back of a full length golden point game with a two day shorter turnaround.
We have their old coach on the books who knows their players inside out.
They are without their star halfback signing plus a couple of their big forwards.
We have 3 key players returning to the team from last week in Tanginoa, Jowitt & Tupou.
Kyle Wood & Eddie Battye will be much better for getting their first game of the season under their belt.

Anything less than given them a damn good game and maybe even sneaking it with a bit of luck and a following wind is quite frankly unacceptable. The excuses have run dry. A repeat performance of recent showings and enough will be enough. Over to you Chester, your job should depend on it.

I doubt Last will have a clue about any of Hulls plays, they are playing completely different under Hodgson this season.

I'm talking more about character of the players, not the style of play.

I did say players, not plays. He should know their strengths and weaknesses and how best to exploit them. Hodgson has changed the system but he can’t improve all the aspects of every player in 6 months. We need to take advantage of tgat knowledge.

Re: Next up Hull : Mon Apr 19, 2021 4:11 pm  

Can’t see anything but a hull win.
That’s what lack of confidence does for me as a fan so god knows what the players are thinking.

It’s the character of our players he needs to worry about if truth be know, can they put a show on for the full 80 . If as people have already stated about the quick turnaround and we can’t compete for 80 mins where does that leave us .
Bigger powerfully throughout their squad I doubt we will get the better of them but here’s hoping.
