Alot mention Shaul as a pivot, im guessing your on about his attacking contribution?

Defensively hes not much better, really has brain farts when coming into the line to defend when he d be much better dropping back and covering.

I think he may the first player a new coach looks at replacing, cant believe people have said he should get england call ups, hes gone backwards

Re: Who do we want now then : Sun Mar 15, 2020 1:29 pm  

Houghton is good at scooting and tackling, but thats about it, slows our play down ridiculously with the little shimmy he does befoee he releases the ball it allows the defensive line to close us down really quickly.

On top of that his passing when he does do it isnt great and contributes to our errors.

Another who may find himself replaced shortly

Apologies for the negativity, but patience has gone now with it, tired of seeing the same players just not upto scratch but its rarely touched on.

Looking unlikely itl be Flanagan

"He was granted permission to seek registration as an assistant coach for the next two seasons, with no guarantee or return date to head coaching duties in the future.
The 2016 premiership-winning coach said he didn't consider any coaching positions overseas because he didn't want to be on the other side of the world watching while his son Kyle played NRL with the Roosters in 2020"

We'd best get a shift on, Saints could also be on the look out for a new coach soon.

Begs the question would any current domestic coach jump ship at this time and can we afford to pay compensation......

If not which coachs abroad would take the job...

Il hazard a guess at Purtill till the end of the season

Agree, posted as much after Thursday's news. Needs to be the right long term choice so if we have to wait until 2021 so be it.

I’d be happy with Purtill until the end of the season if AP can’t get who he wants in this season. He has come from outside the Hull bubble and I am sure both he & Last will change things after Radfords departure.

The departure of Radford means the cosy times are over and certain players will now have to step up or be stepped aside.

Also slightly off topic but csn we have Kammy on SL every week from now on please?

Re: Who do we want now then : Sun Mar 15, 2020 5:55 pm  

Watson would be my choice if we were to give a shot to any of the current SL coach's,.
Daniel entering the lions den comes to mind though.

Good to have a different perspective and personality. Mentioned it before but would like Jon Wilkin involved when he finally retires.

Seriously, why? Can honestly see no logic why we would
