Definitely need more size in the pack, I also think Bowden has been ineffective and needs to sharpen up or be moved on, he's 26 now and in his 7th season in the first team and should be in his prime, yet still not showing much aggression.

As for short-term moves, is it worth offering some cash for Sam Moa? I believe he's off contact at Catalans at the end of year, and McNamara may want to free up some salary cap to solve other issues (such as Luke Walsh being unlikely to return in the halves) not stood out at Catalan but he was brilliant for us first time round.

Peggy stated we spent all the money we got for Watts on an unproven junior, now that's an expert analysis :lol:

whichever way you look at it the decision has weakened us and Radford/Ellis haven't bolstered the side since Watts was sacked off. Did you think that losing an international class player would have no negative effect, did you expect the club to replace like for like or just leave us a top forward short for the rest of the season?

We are missing the go forward of Ellis, Watts and Fonua.
Let’s hope Bureta can start staying on the pitch a bit longer . That might help things !

I know Fonua played centre in 2016 but it's worth pointing out that he had a similarly slow start to his Hull career. He only played twice in the first eight rounds and had scored just two tries before Magic Weekend. I'm not expecting Faraimo to make the Dream Team but hopefully he can kick on now and make a real impact.

That was my point saying lightweight having Connor and Abdull on the bench.Surely if Masi was fit he should have been on the bench in place of Abdull.
