Hull FC are awful, Smith came up with the tactics to beat them eventually but I think there was an easier way.

But most ppl on this board in the Cullen era said players should be played in their best positions and not out of position.

I'm not saying Penny is the solution but he is a winger so he (or another winger from the reserves) should have been given a chance. - Look at Ainscough at Wigan

Spot on. Agree with 40-20's post about fielding players in their best postions as well.

Hull might be going through a bad spell but give the team credit for battling away instead of just saying how bad the opposition were.

I have, and do. The spirit on show from our players was superb, and the gameplan in the second half was spot on against a stubborn defence.

Well, Smith is a world class coach and if he doesn't think Penny is good enough for SL then that's good enough for me

We got the win end of, whether Penny plays or not I don't mind as long as we get the two points. People are to quick to criticise on here.

Tool and that's only to get round the swear filter. I'd say much more you f'in *****

We were absolutely shocking today in a boring match as we had too many players out of position. We were dominated in the forwards completely in the first half and most of the second. The halves were awful and our passing and kicking game sucked big style. We scraped a win against a poor team, however, we were little better. Bridge was shocking.
