Hood is the worst number 9 we have ever had. I would love to hear his explanation for picking him, he is slow, his passes are inaccurate, he looks overweight, his defence is poor, he literally offers us nothing at all.

It’s no wonder we are stuck at the bottom of the table when we keep signing players from the championship like Hood, Pitts, Battye, Kay, Morgan Smith, Alex Walker etc and on top of that appointing the cheapest option for a head coach.

You clearly don't watch the same game as me if you think Pitts and Kay were poor signings. Smith was always intended to be back up.
And weren't Walmsley and Ritson from championship? It's about the player not where they come from.
Ultimately the problem in my opinion this year are our high earners not the low earners. If our overseas players were as good as previous years we'd have been fine this year.

I’ve watched it a number of times again and I see Fifita pulling down on shoulders. The KR player pulls his left arm over fifita’s face/arms to try wriggle out then drops with Fifita pulling down which is probably where Fifita copped an arm. There really wasn’t much if anything in it at all and if it was play on nobody would have batted an eyelid.
Still I don’t see anything wrong with it myself and live it looked fine too.
Doesn’t matter now as we have to beat Salford or I think it’s going to be too big a hull to climb.
Watching from the East stand last night i said to my mate that it unfortunatly looked like you was goung to get another heavy nilling, because at 22 nil down youd not really offered anything, but i think that try late in the half gave your lads a bit of hope, and they obviously came out second half and really troubled us, not only troubled us but played some good off the cuff rugby too, maybe Rovers had put the cue on the rack who knows. I think you need to take that offoading heads up style into every game from now on. Secind half both Gale and Dagger really shone, that should be your hb pairing, and despite his sin binning, big Fafita was absolute quality, hes still a wrecking ball. I really hope you can get a few more results to make it interesting.

Scarlett, as well you know it isn't just black and white like you try to imply. Maybe we waited and then decided they weren't good enough or didn't want to come. Maybe we made connections that got us other people.
If I went back on all the things you said and picked fault in hindsight I'd be here all day. It's just the same.
