It was the first game where French could be said to have regressed in a game where virtually everyone was poor. Every game previous has been a better than linear improvement. I'm not sure where this is coming from. We created the opportunities. We just didn't finish them. Had we finished the clear cut chances we had we would have won by 20+ points! Miski tripping over his own feet, for example, is not French's fault. Neither is all the dropped ball or the sheer incompetence from the referee.
The bottom line is, handling aside, we were by far the better team. Hull rarely made it out of their own half. We win in atrocious conditions whilst not playing well. We move on.
Agree
A couple of extra points
I mean it's not like we were missing our best 3 props
Conditions were atrocious
This Hull team butchered Saints 6 weeks or so ago
We need to solve the 6 problem and I fear its too late to change French and go with someone else due to time (it's become obvious Cust isn't going to force his way back in, an injury to one of the wingers though coukd force his hand so as a positive its good that we have options if we need them), French in the wing gives usnso much more threat than Miski for all his yards and effort. I'm not sayingnthe current set up is bad or Miski is poor, he's not he's playing well, but if we play him he offers very little threat from over 20/25mtrs out
