Griffin will be lucky to get a bench spot when fit as a rotation in the send row

I'd agree with that, Wynne really looks the part at centre, quick, strong, decent pass and good defence. I'd like to see Griffin moved inside to the back row and take that 4th bench spot to cover second row and the backline.

Great win , back up to 4th with a week off and bodies back for the next game .

Because he wasn't selected last week and we had Vulikijapani available? Fit or not they are vying for Griffin's centre spot currently aren't they?

Wynne was unable to play last week not that he wasnt selected
Left centre is no longer Griffins position to lose.He has lost it
Both Wynne and Mitch are streets ahead of Griffin on current form

Good run out that, turned it on when needed, Hodgson made the right calls again, some still not happy whinging and finding fault,

Re: Toulose next : Sat Apr 30, 2022 9:29 pm  

Really happy with the win today.
My only concern is our lack of speed at 1,6&7. Yes I know we’ve had numerous combinations. Fact is Gale Reynolds Connor are far too slow.
Couple of times Johnstone had the gap but lacked the pace to finish.
Hopefully next season we get the pace required to compliment our pack.
We can then compete with saints & wigan

But neither are an automatic pick for the slot. Both pushing for the place.

So a good team selection in the end. Perhaps Hookem would've played if Reynolds had been in the team.

Slightly shaky start to both halves again (something we need to work on) but once in our rhythm a decent performance. Manu Ma'u excellent once more, Wynne such a grafter and a natural try scorer. McIntosh really finding his feet.

A week off and then two tough tests but hopefully with three half backs available again.

Let's be honest we would have still won today if Brad Fash was at 7, all Johnstone did was pass the ball to Connor or Lovodua, he didn't create anything and looked slow a couple of times when gaps appeared. Hookem should have played today, missed opportunity.

Good win though, very dominant against a pretty poor side.

Starting to think making Mau gets another year as is probably playing his best rugby for Hull.

Tough decision in two weeks time with what to do with Gale and Reynolds. I think it would be a massive mistake to play them both. Keep Lovodua at 6 and play one of them, move Johnstone to the bench.

Hard for Mitch to get his place in the 17 too.

Missed the game yesterday for the first time this season, so hard for me to judge but it sounds like it was a professional performance against a pretty depleted Toulouse side.

Hull need to do everything possible to keep Wynne at the club, there is a great deal of interest in him from SL clubs and for me he has done enough so far to cement his place in the side. Quick, agile, always has the defence guessing. Great young player who will only improve. Whilst the club is looking to streamline its cap to become more sustainable it is so important to keep young talents like him at the club

100%, him and Lovodua has to be the top priorities, be really disappointed if he lost either of these.

I think he has an option of optional year, but we should be looking at a 3 year deal.

Seems to have played for years but only 21.
