I agree. We were too strong up front with only Bowden and flash missing. Backs are decimated though and most are longer term injuries. None back for a month at best

What? A whole month? Luxury. Try 6-8 weeks for most of ours. Etc.

Good performance from us today. Nothing wrong with the crossbar try but it was typical of our luck this season. Nothing is really sticking at the moment. As for Smith being injured in first few minutes, of course he was, he was playing at Hooker for HKR and isn't called Lee. Why doesn't HE ever get injured? Thankfully Atkin (really a HB) is surviving. If he gets injured we should just pack up for this season.

I predict a maximum of two more wins this season.

Just keep Lunt, Carney and the rest in rehab/bubble wrap until m8s and we'll do fine. Toronto and Toulouse aren't as good as they think they are.

You are better than Toronto and Toulouse on paper, but you have a tricky balancing act now. You need to make sure your stars are fit but you also need to be going into the 8s with a little bit of form and everyone singing off the same hymn sheet. You cant hide everyone away for a couple of months and then flick a switch and expect everyone to start playing their best rugby

Other than "be more lucky," I dont know what the answer is.

Lots of posters in the HKR Facebook page now calling for Hudgell to go. Looks like the penny is starting to drop.

The penny hasn't dropped far enough. If NH goes, so does the club.

What we do need is a fast supporting full back for me Quinlan would be better in the half a good few times yesterday we broke through with no one in support you get a fast full back in there and we probably score another 3 try’s and win even with the poor goal line defence

You could say the same about Hull and most other teams over the weekend though.

It's an indication of how boring it's got beating you that no one is even bothering to come on here and take the pizzle,

About time you won one to make it interesting again

Re: Daunting trip to Newcastle : Mon May 21, 2018 7:31 am  

Been banging on about getting keiren moss in the team sadly i fear 3 tries wont be enough to keep his place will it tim.Instead of us being void of pace at half back,ever thought of quinlan to halfback and moss to full back,where he played very well last season,never happen will it tim,lets keep lee and blair at half back,who haven't played badly but are both void of pace and aren't half backs.Quinlan played half back in oz,so has had experience and moss is a good fullback.I know you cant help the injury situation,but why not try a half back who can run ??
