and no Savelio

Top try scorer for team,
Dropped due to his defence,
team only manages 1 try per game against St Helens and Leigh.

I'm annoyed that Patton and savelio are missing, I can't see this one going well to be honest, Tony Smith asks Hirn players to improve every week maybe it's time he did the same, ego should not get in the way so whatever Patton has done to your pet cat Tony it's time to let go.

From what we have available:

Ratchford
Johnson
T King
Atkins
Evans (needs to be dropped as soon as someone else is available)
Gidley
Brown
Hill
Clark
Sims
Hughes
Westerman
Cooper

Dwyer
Philbin
G king
Livett

Adding savelio and Patton would help massively IMO in terms of giving us option dB and being able to removed both Evans and Russell who arent good enough.

I agree with what your saying but there is no way TS will drop the calamity twins, Evans & Russell seem to be untouchable full stop

With TS's recent form with Savelio & Patton, if Atkins is fit I can see Johnson & Livett dropping out

I hope I'm wrong & TS grows a set but I can't see it, what message it's sending out to the young lads I don't know rewarding error strewn rugby week in,week out

[Fantastic Mr Catpiss]

Atkins was supposed to be out for 4/5 weeks?

was in the press yesterday he's made miraculous recovery, and in contention.

i don't think he'll play,

Re: WIRE vs HULL : Thu Mar 30, 2017 4:06 pm  

Atkins is a sign of desperation to me but according to the Guardian Smith has the full backing of the team according to Hilly.Well that's the kiss of death then.

It does seem odd.

Tony does seem to have his favourites. The core undroppables seem to be

Gidley
Hughes
Evans
Russell
Brown

Re: WIRE vs HULL : Thu Mar 30, 2017 6:24 pm  

It's bat poop crazy!!!!

At what point do we give these younger lads a chance ? It's unfair that we criticise our younger players for errors and mistakes that the make but it's game time where they iron them out first team experience is vital to their development but Aldo first team experience with quality regular first teamers alongside them

It's this point that leads me to have lost faith in tony smith no confidance to give them a real opportunity Williams had an up and down season when given the spot but has grown from it and kicked on a lot! Smith never does that Currie being the exception and also exceptionally good who would have broke into any SL side do it's not like ts has nurtured him.

I genuinely hope we can at least put up a fight against hull and make hull battle for a win and maybe we can snatch it in last few minutes. The players a d coaching staff seriously have their work cut out to turn this around and hull will be a good start

Re: WIRE vs HULL : Thu Mar 30, 2017 8:46 pm  

Ratchford
Johnson
Atkins
T King
Evans
Brown
Gidley
Hill
Clark
Sims
Westwood
Hughes
Westerman

Dwyer
Cooper
G King
Livett

Ideally I would have Patton in for Gidley and Lineham (if not suspended) for Evans
