Eh, he may of gone to Hull university, but wasn’t he born in deepest Lancasheer.

I think Mark Chapman is a Hull fan.

So to us Adrian Durham on TalkSPORT. He always gives us a good shout out on his show.

Can’t knock the effort or heart. Thought the score might have ran away from us at one point.

Just think we look unbalanced. Need a pacy outside back, another big unit in the forwards and some zip and guile at hooker.

Hodgson will hopefully balance the squad a bit once he can make signings. He signed Reynolds ,but we had Kelly anyway.

We have the back, agree on the other two.

I still need to see big improvements from our halfbacks to convince me they are good enough for us to challenge.

Crazy as it seems, a little nouse and patience at the end, we win that game.

Yes Connor got too excited after the 40/20
He didnt have to make the no look pass as Grace was isolated and we had a walk in just by playing and passing correctly
We can all see that Connor has ability but todays game seemed to highlight his lack of pace

When we actually play a bit, we look good. Reynolds better second half (though a rumour that has come out is he is going to Canberra next week!!), but why we went wide on 2nd tackle after the 40/20 I never know. I think we play that set out, we score and we win the game. Small margins. Brown looked very good when he came on

Dont think Reynolds is now good enough for first grade NRL
Brown looked sharp and a nice couple of offloads

We need a leader with a calming influence
Ideally theyd be a hooker. Definitely a prop too.
Sneyd was very poor today
Walmsley got into his head

Yes. he's mentioned a few times on Twitter that he supports Hull. Started going to games whilst at Uni.

Watching the Cas v War semi final, McShane is showing what I feel we are missing at hooker.

Re: Saints challenge cup : Sat Jun 05, 2021 4:35 pm  

ATEOD we came up against a champion side who don't taste defeat too often. Great heart and attitude to get back into the game, we know where the weakness are but the lads are digging in and I will support that. Hopefully a good run in the league build some confidence, don't need to change alot of players like some drama queens on here would.

He's the reigning Man of Steel so many teams would like him I expect.
