Though it's a disappointing result last night Salford are no mugs as they have some quality in their squad. We are missing Houghton & Kelly that's us clear but also Manu is a massive miss too for us.
We do however need to improve our attacking threat as the lack of support play, dummy runners & players running decent lines is still a factor. We rely far too much on Kelly's maverick plays & Sneyds kicks.
An attack coach is something we really could do with. We are laboured passing down the line and pretty static moving forward and stand far too deep giving up vital metres.
That said we are usually have a bad run at some stage and it's been a poor start with injuries all is not lost at this early stage.

I'm not so much worried about losing, it's the manner in which we lost that worries me. We have had 2 amazing seasons with average attack and it really is about time we got that sorted. Our last tackle options are clueless and oppositions really aren't having to work hard at keeping us out because we are so predictable. I've said it before and will continue to say it, but I'd kill to have Paul Cooke here as an attacking coach as I think that's what is missing.

You may say a moan but he has an opinion. For my two pence worth I agree with Seb. Apart from the obvious of missing so many first team players we have mediocrity from too many other players on the pitch. Mini is well past his best & is becoming a liability. Sneyd never a bright lad makes loads of errors with ball in hand, and no variation in kicking other than kicking on the third or fourth which is okay if there was someone there to kick to. Too many times we just fizzle out on the fifth. Shaul always a confidence player is well off form n has been for too long. Washy a journeyman but you have to ask can we afford it. Talanoa becoming a defensive liability. Griffin too hit n miss. Tumivave flatters to deceive at times. That’s why we’re struggling whether Radford can iron it out remains to be seen.

Agree there Karen as our go forward is probably up there as one of the best in SL but our options in the opposition 20 are poor. As I said in my last post we lack runners and support play which makes it far too easy to defend against us as the opposition don't have to second guess. This is an area we've lacked since McRae back in the early 2000's

9 defeats in our last 11 sl games according to sky. Needs to improve and quick. In his interview Radford seemed to intimate they were looking at someone to replace watts. Would be happy if it was Josh jones

Our attack has been poor for a few seasons.
Passing is laboured , slow and ponderous. I think expectations have been heightened after our Cup successes. We have now lost 3 major members of our squad in Ellis , Fonua and Watts .
Without the brilliance of Kelly at times we have no plan B .
There is still time to improve, but this year will pass us by if we are not careful. Let’s hope with the return of certain players fortunes will change .

It's two wins in the last eleven away games. We've not won back to back away games since last May.

Jones would be a good long term replacement for Mini but I'd like us to bring in an impact prop to replace Watts.

Got to agree with you on all that Karen,but you do realise you have opened the door to all the Cookey haters, the" never forgive him" and the ""if he comes back i will not go".I have said for a few years now,even after our two wonderful Wembley wins we are devoid of any plan B's or C's in attack if the kick on the last tackle fails.We have to have an attacking coach brought in and pretty quick.

With respect, Paul Cooke has hardly pulled up any trees at his various coaching posts.

Ideally we'd appoint someone from outside the Hull RL bubble.
