Tbf in Bentleys case it worked and his technique did improve.
Wrt Tetavano the guy doesn`t learn.
I would also suggest Knowles is a tackle away from getting banned.
But I do like his aggression in the tackle so no real complaints from me.

It's a fine line to walk,you need the aggression,but you also need restraint. It seems there has been a change in how the mvp view tackles this year,everyone agreed last year was a farce.

Anyway good luck for the rest of the season ( apart from when you play us )

We might need all the luck we can get mate.
I agree and let`s hope we get some consistency this year.
Whilst i fully understand the need to protect players I do think some of the bans last year were ridiculous.
For me the only bans should come for serious foul play and if the ref has missed a trip on a player for instance then so be it.
Don`t ban that player after the game has been reviewed imo.
I also think that for other offences there should be some sort of points given and once you reach say 10 you miss a game or 2.

I'd look to replace Donaldson as well, with either McDonnell or Walters. Mind you I'd have rejigged the threequarters as well and put Roberts in the centres with Macdonald.

I would bring in Walters and drop Lisone his fitness is no where near to play SL.

That’s not gonna happen. Neither is Tet getting dropped. You don’t sign oversea’s players on big salaries to ‘drop’ them after few games. Managers are cleverer than this. Better to try and get more out of them…..

He’s only gonna get match fitness by playing matches. I think he’s getting a lot of unnessary stick, his performance wasn’t as bad as some are making out. Numerous times Hull struggled to get him to ground and he got a quick play of the ball, There’s a decent player when he gets into the swing of things.

We’ve been trying to get more out of Tetevano for almost three years, how long does it take?
