According to the reporter "on the red button" after the Leeds v Wire game Hull lost Carvell and after that struggled to get any "go forward"

Was that the case?

Let Wheeler do the shouting

Carvell did go off. Think we had to shuffle the team too when we lost Turner.

Re: Hull match stats : Mon Feb 24, 2014 4:08 pm  

We have been fairly rudderless for years and whilst Wellens tries - I would say it is not something that is natural to him ( Graham , Scully , Farrell where born leaders). I would put Wello more in a Joynt category as a respected player others look up to, hence thrown in to leadership.
For me Walsh is the man to LEAD us forward , he's currently quite happy to point people to where they should be - it will be interesting to see what he is like when things aren't going so well - will he step up a dish out the necessary.

The turning point is we started to get go forward with walmsley and Amor leading the way. Obviously good go forward gets you up the field and in scoring positions and we took our chances.

It didnt seem that strong tbh. For me we dropped intensity when Walmesley came off after about 10 mins, and again when Amor came off at about 30. Without those two on, we got busted in the forwards. Lafranchi is no prop, absolutely put to shame by Walmesley and Amor

Should we be giving a run out to someone like Richards? I know Masoe is due back and Beaumont hasn't played yet, but it seems like our first choice 17 still has a couple of deficiencies.
Laffrachi's able - he'll do some good things and work hard in defence, but he does not contribute to a physical battle like a prop forward should.

i think we should. Laffranchi's a backrower, simple as. Does a decent amout of tackling (like a backrower), but cant do the hard yards

The one person who stands out as an enigma when you compare his stats to what people seemed to see on the pitch is Jones.

You look at his stats and they are far too low for him to have been on the field. But most people, including me, thought he didnt have a bad game

Didn't see him all night but he did cover the centre for Turner when he went off.
