They will be set plays and we for the most part dont have trouble scoring points. But if your forwards have zero energy and a hooker not controlling the ruck, your pissing into the wind from the off.
No quick play the balls and no speed will mean no space for the half backs to execute anything. Hence why we just got tackled in possession as we start slow.

Let's hope we have better luck with injuries next year as with no recruitment, new contracts for Mini, Manu and Talanoa who have missed a lot of rugby and getting older. Think we need a change of playing style, we can't bully teams anymore
What makes you think the coach knows any other way? Resigning Talanoa is proof enough we aren't going for speed/elusiveness out wide and Buretta isn't exactly a speed merchant. I honestly don't think Radford has the know-how to change our style and we simply don't have the personnel for it in any case.
We need to have a strong end to the season or fans are going to be pretty cheesed off if we continue to flounder.

I wrote about a self fulfilling prophecy of defeat It’s playing out We have a few injuries but not that many Rovers smashed Giants last week !!!! We only just beat Widnes last week at KC Mental attitude and defence is the Coach’s domain You only need to look at defence to weigh up a team We looked lazy a fair bit and certainly not desperate That’s the coach again Were Ellis and Fonua the main reason we won the CC ? I wrote that we may end up losing interest long before the Super 8s end but not this early !
For a while its become apparent that Taylor cannot carry this pack by himself. Even if Westerman and Bowden were in the squad we desperately need some more grunt up front. I fear zero recruitment will see us go backwards. We need to create some cap space somehow! Say goodbye to Washbrook and Abdul and maybe shift Downs, Lane, Fash out on season long loans next year. Time for Mr Ellis to step up and earn his spurs me thinks!
seb your are the worst type of I hesitate to call you a fan, but you seem to get the only pleasure in your life in seeing hull play poorly, tell me why is it we usually only see you when we lose?,

We keep going on about our injuries but it hasnt stopped Castleford,Wigan and Warrinton from performing. Personally i dont think we are good enough even with a full squad. Definately short of a big strong running second row and impact prop. We also need some offloading players because since we lost Watts we have nothing and offloading creates the space and gaps. Big loss Watts.
still like to see how we perform with a decent team on the field, as others have said, downs fash logan not cutting it, id like to think with binman griffin sneyd in the backs, manu westy and Bowden back we would be a lot better, think the top 4 gone now but if wigan and leeds win its back on,
