HFC Boy wrote:All good posts above, and points well made. We have not consolidated on 2016 and 2017. If we can see it , why can’t the Club. Hull FC never seem to kick on. Sporadic success from 1991 has never be sustained. We also seem to produce players, but we never seem to turn them into top talent . They move on ,and sometimes come back to haunt us . As for the Coaching set up . A new broom is needed. Fresh ideas and an ability to attract top talent . Radford hit it lucky with his pre 2016 recruitment. Those players Coached themselves. Remember the dressing room lock out at Widnes . The loss of his leaders and his inability to attract replacements for them ,is now coming home to roost. We needed to sign at least 2 forwards that would be first choice. ATM Taylor is carrying our pack , the rest are average , or past their sell by date. We thought it was going to be a struggle in 2019. Now we know it is going to be !
Everything said here is absolutely correct. Other clubs have success and build on it,we seem to go the other way.I feel sorry for Taylor,he's doing the work of two props,be burnt out before long. Last night Cas were getting three men in the tackle and slowing the game down,why don't we do the same,they seemed so smooth with everything they did and we looked disjointed and Cas also had a hooker who played like a hooker .Danny has been a good club hooker and a brilliant tackler but he lacks the creativity of other top hookers. Our right side was shocking last night and an astute coach like Powell soon exploited it.We have to get over winning the challenge cup twice and start living in the present,things aren't good and I can't see them getting any better.

I take your point but the club doesn't have to disclose the exact nature of his problem but is receiving treatment for it. Covering it up by saying he is injured only leads to speculation that something sinister is going on.
As I say I wish him well and hope he recovers and plays for us again.

It was really noticeable last night that we struggled to manage the speed of the ruck on both sides whereas cas did pretty much what they wanted

We don't know what's going on in the background. Unless talanoa authorises it the club can't divulge anything about the health of an employee no more than any employer can.
Maybe there is disciplinary action going on or something else we don't need to know
Have to feel sorry for taylor,great performance from him,connor and shaul both good,but paea,mini,miloudi,very poor.Watts outstanding for cas,could tell by his passion and effort how much he wanted to stick it up you,a huge loss him leaving. Good time to play wigan after the world club challenge and a good chance to break the 13 match losing run.As a matter of interest what is the longest s/l run of losses ?
