Only if he partners Griffin in the second row,

Thought Bienek was busy defensively when he came on but not much chance to show anything when the teams in disarray. His first couple of runs he showed aggression and pushed their defensive line back. Seasons over for us, stop playing donkeys like Bowden and give players like Bienek a chance. Giving Brown a chance has actually improved his game and now hes pretty much a first team player - Bienek needs to be given more game time!

Leeds a couple of years ago where gash and had to play loads of youngsters playing but they learned from that and are now are reaping the fruits with the next wave coming through

We did it years ago with Horne, Judas & King and now its time for the next lot

I like several others have wondered why Bienek was not given a chance when he returned from Leigh especially given we were down to two fit front rows at one point.
My question was why when we have two big men on the field in Bienek and Satae did they only make three carries each?
Our game plan to use the wings then the centres to carry instead of the big guys is probably a reason why we are so poor in opposition 20 because our backs are knackered carrying the ball out of backplay.

The only way he would link up with Watson is if he ends up back at Salford which could be a possibility.

Shaul's defence on the line isnt great, I doubt he would have stopped any of those trys. Shaul will play though as he is undroppable.

My side would be

Connor
Naulogo
Fonua
Carlos
Faraimo
McNamara
Sneyd
Sao
Houghton
Brown
Savelio
Griffin
Bowden

Cator
Satae
Shaul
Bienek

Strong line up, happy with that, apart from satae on the bench, our best front rower in good form should be starting, no brainer

Maybe, and maybe not.

Think Bienik was on when we had very little possession ? He did run around & get involved in many tackles in the middle. Thought he looked a little desperate to impress but that is hardly a surprise !! Was hauled off after a couple of quick tries shipped, Agree he needs to be given longer & time to settle into a game & manage himself - no point in running around like a lunatic for 15 then being gassed !!

Also though Bowden had his best game for a very long time - wouldn't write him of yet..

Don't know why Shaul gets all the s~~t on here, his link up play isnt the greatest but the rest of his game is good anyway Id go
Shaul
Faraimo
Tuimavave
Fonau
Ratu
Connor
Sneyd
Bowden
Houghton
Sao
Griffin
Savelio
Cator
Subs
Fash
Brown
Satae
Macca/Johnstone
Bienik and Masi wouldn't be anywhere near the 17 for me and I'd only play them if down to the very bare bones, Scott got hung out to dry last game but he's not a winger he's a centre.

Because the link up play from full back is now an essential part of every team's attack. Can you remember the last time we went around a team to score? When was the last time that we created an overlap? We tend to either score from long range, a short range kick, or a barge over. We don't go around teams

Re: Hull v Huddersfield - Tuesday 13th October 17:30 : Mon Oct 12, 2020 11:49 am  

If overlaps were that easy, teams would be scoring from every play.
