Yeah I think Smith needs to make a signing, somebody who can play fullback. I wonder if he knows any Super League fullbacks who could fit the bill.

Hence the signing of Richie Mathers

Remember Hicks last minute winner at Hull last year? No? You were probably booing.

He probably wasn't there.

Ive noticed the choice of FB is debatable, id go with Riley, he tends to get past players at times and even go most of the length if the defense is exposed. When was the last time we saw Hicks do this?
I think Hicks should stay on the wing, best place for him.
Why move somebody from their best position when their an obvious threat, when we also have the option for cover their, in Riley.
Hope TS turns it around

Cant we lock this thread already, its just people looking for someone to blame for the defeat. It wasNOT Hicks' fault

Hicks got 2 great kicks in the match, i think this is a bit harsh, i didn't think the last conversion chance was a gimme.

I didn't know he could kick goals when we signedhim last year, he is doing a stirling job as a fill in kicker.

What happened to Briers doing the kicking (i know he didn't play), can he just not be bothered to practise or does he have a long term injury.

At Castleford away last year, when Briers was injured it meant that we needed another kicker. We knew that he could kick goals and he took over and did well, and then he carried on and is a very good goal kicker.

Not looking at the highlights on tv. More like he took the cone when he attempted to kick the ball. Anyway cant change the result and I am sure he will win us more than he loses.

I'm sure Riley would play at full back if fit. Well, until Mathers is fit. Then Riley and Hicks on the wings? But that means King back in the centres. I don't know.
