Surely the idea of having a big squad is if a player doesnt perform then he gets dropped for someone who is pushing?
On that basis Sneyd, Pryce, Watts, Bowden, Pritchard all had bad games but obviously you cant change them all. Some of them are untouchable but Id drop Pryce for Abdull and do something about the right side defense - Naughton in for Michaels maybe and re-arrange which second rower defends out there too

Assuming no injuries I'd go with the same team.
We weren't far off winning on Thursday. Cas were the better team overall but it could easily have been a Hull win.
Do you drop Watts for the penalty that meant Cas drew level? Pryce for the wrong option kick late on with tackles remaining? Pritchard for a stupid penalty whilst attacing the Cas line? Michaels for the forward pass?
All bad errors but none warrant the player being dropped.

I agree.
A couple of changes would not be panic. It could be seen as keeping all the team on its toes to maximise the performance and keep their place in the team by winning.
Although the defeat against Cas was disappointing, no change on this occasion would also be acceptable as the previous two wins still warrants support.

Very sensible post mate, you weren't far away from a win. ! think the Cas try scorers say a lot as they were all from the wingers and I thought we did a better job of getting our wingers into space than you did.
Also starting from the middle of last season we seem to have got better at closing games down which in my opinion comes with keeping the majority of the teams spine together in consecutive seasons.
