Granted the quality of players Smith is working with isn't the highest we've had but for me that isn't the issue, its the lack of yet again not seeing any cohesion, organisation or discipline out on the field.

Last night we just looked an absolute mess and as if they'd not had any pre season at all, whilst yes we faced some adversity that just doesn't account or excuse yet another shambles that we saw last night.

Agree 1m%
Our basic catch and pass was appalling, whoever is coaching the attack, needs to seriously improve.

Who is the attacking coach? Grix? I didn't actually see him at the game last night, could only see Gene, Smith and Cummins

How much was this covid loan?

The lack of investment is killing us off, no way are we at cap. Never mind not having 3 marquee players.

Who planned our current halfback situation as its shambolic, just not good enough, whoevers decided to throw money at nu brown been out halfback needs sacking

Whats the plan? For me Brown has to go to hooker straight away, with Balmforth as bench backup.

Cators made of biscuits, lets play Staveley at loose forward, who has creativity and good size.

The team jus has so many square pegs in round holes and it shows.

We need Trueman back asap,

and we need to learn to catch a ball and play with controlled aggression.

Il say it again play Severs or Jebson at second row and let them develop and move Sao/Ashworth back into the props.

Need to blood some youth in the correct positions.

Im intrigued by our accounts, pass and mercandise sales are really good, we hear of record breaking sponsers, how bigs this covid loan?

Is Pearson bleeding us abit and pleading poverty? Starting to wonder

Undoubtably Trueman should improve us but I don't think it'll make a massive difference in terms of results. He is more of a 6 than a playmaker.

We had enough time to replace Clifford but failed to do so and have ended up with a hooker at half back. Like you say square pegs in round holes. Plus with Trueman's injury record there's the chance he'll break down again.

Sure I saw him pitch side in a yellow top but could have been mistaken

Grix was definitely there. He was running messages to the players. Gene was next to Smith

The last Hull player to score a try at home against Rovers was Luke Gale in 2022 and the last to kick a goal at home to them was Marc Sneyd in 2021.

That's depressing reading so early on into the season. We'll get pumped
