| Was worried about props before the season started. Ended up with 2 very good campaigns.from Satae and Sao, a step up from Fash, and poor returns from Taylor, Bowden and Matongo. Change needed if we are to progress.

| Squad has been unbalanced for a few seasons now, and will take a few seasons addressing it.
Forwards desperately need help.

| I dont think our forwards are that big an issue, of the 7 props we have 5 are good enough, unfortunately one has been injured most of the year. The issue is how we use them.
I'd have another prop, but it won't matter until we address our issues of attacking in the opposition 20.

| Think some of our forwards are excellent - top drawer, sadly we are a couple short, IF Tag had been fit all year they wouldn't have had to play so many minutes.
BH improved defence massively.
Sadly our squad was assembled by LR to play Bradford style rugby - nobody mentions current COVID rules requiring fitter, lighter, quicker players. How the hell could tht have been seen coming ? Sadly we still dont' know next years rules - scrums ? restarts ?
Current squad lacks pace & creativity, BH knows this & hopefully is addressing. For me Mahe & Reynolds huge disapointments, I fear both Danny H & Sneyd have seen the game bypass them - we definitely need more from those positions.
Keep the faith, support AP & BH - spend money at the shop & over the turnstile !!!

| Up until the last two games we where doing ok. Fallen away since. But still have chance to turn it round. Reynolds had co vd symptoms and may still be struggling. Bit harsh to say he's a poor signing. Hopefully get Connor Taylor Massi Savellio back in the near future

Agree with you Dave in both the Huddersfield and Leeds debacles the forwards made metres and gave us a platform but we generated very little from that which is a concern. Look at the first half against Leeds in particular when we dominated Leeds and had repeat sets and scored nothing as our attack was so disjointed and no creativity at all which bit us later in the game.

| Quote Irregs#16="Irregs#16"Pryce probably the wrong comparison - he has been a star throughout the youth levels and could be a once in a generation kind of player.
However, I agree on all the other points. I honestly think Abdull and Litten would massively improve us at the moment - players who Radford gave away. Our retention has been poor and done on sentiment rather than performance.
I think there are some promising kids coming through. Barron, Staveley, Burrell, Ferreira etc. so hopefully with the training centres we are strategically placing across the country, that can aid with the scouting of youth'"
Abdull always had the potential to be a very good player and we should have kept him. I for one was disappointed when we let him go. Many people will disagree with me and I hate to say it but I believe he offers much more as a playmaker than Sneyd. I wasn't that bothered when Litten went to Rovers but with the new rules he's just the type of dynamic hooker we need.
Lots of work needed in the off season. Hopefully Pearson finds a magic money tree to finance the overhaul the squad. We have a lot a players in their late 20's early 30's but don't have appear to have enough quality coming through to challenge them.

Abdul had good potential, but had a poor attitude, the move away from Hull gave him a kick up the backside to sort that out, happened to a few players like Brough and Long.
Litten didn't get enough chances st Hull, that was Radfords fault.
I'm not convinced either are top 4 SL players yet, buy they have potential and there would both improve us as it stands.

So you are saying they are better than you have in your own team and wish you still had them?

| Abduls on a good contract now at Rovers, Saints actually asked to buy him out of it, but Rovers said no.
I think he has more to his game than Sneyd personally.
I think Hull have been guilty of handing out big contracts to the wrong players, and not knowing when a players starting to regress and hanging on to them too long (hougton/Bowden) . The best teams get this spot on.
Hopefully Hodgson can.........
