Half time - under the pump but we are hanging in there,only chance keep the defensive pressure on and hope Hull start making some errors.

Outmuscled, outenthused, outthought, outsmarted, completely outplayed. So far, lucky to have nil.

A lot of work for Watson to do.

That was utter gash, hopefully Watson now realises that however good Ollie Russell looks in training he aint no super league player. Would have been 40-0 if Hull had not been rusty. I was at least hoping for an expansive style of play, but no same old one up poop, only time backs touch the ball is to run out of defence.

Fairly obv already we lack real size in the front row to bother a team like Hull in 2021, though Watto seems to be getting the best out of James Gavet which is a massive plus. Because of that lack of size up front maybe it's time to get Louis Senior and Sam Wood onto the wings now, big lads with plenty to prove get us close to half way on plays 1 and 2 kick returns. Without Cunningham locking up the middle ruck we were constantly on the back foot at the start of second half so got no decent field position, in fact just constantly on the back foot throughout the whole game.

Why were sezer and Wardle not in squad?

Re: 2021 Round 1 - Hull FC : Sun Mar 28, 2021 4:37 pm  

Doubt Sezer could have made much of a difference to that. Maybe the biggest puzzle is why a big lump of a forward like Ashworth could not even make the bench.

Obvious our plan was to sometimes shift it wide coming out of our own half away from their power pack, but sadly that didn't really get us anywhere.

Plenty of knee jerking on Facebook.

Not the best day at the office . Whilst our go forwards from the pack was not the best we held them pretty well in the middle and won the second half !

Bugger I can count. At least we drew the second half which considering how poor we were is not a bad result
