You seriously thought Clinton was mom yesterday?? FWIW i didn't think Vella was either but he played a hell of a lot more minutes than Clinton and was completely error free.

I thought Welham was mom in all honesty.

One of the best of a very average bunch imo, play anyone half decent and we would of lost by 18 not won by it.

Agreed Welham was also one of the better ones... but for me should of got binned for the extremely late tackle, but keeping him on made up for the late one on Dobson.

Oh and for me, this season is 1 to many for Vella nevermind hes contracted til 2011, He looks like an old man playing rugby now.

I'll answer anyway.

I think it's a combination of having no recognised quality 6, not using Murrell at 13, Galea and Newton not living up to last years form and a relatively weak front row with only Clinton and Vella been upto it and even then Vella is strapped up like mad every week. I also think there's a serious lack of impact from Rovers interchange bench, something which most top teams need.

Just my view looking from the outside and based purely on what i see on TV and the reports i read.

I think its glaringly obvious that we need a quality 6 and i would also agree that we dont have enough impact coming off the bench. Perhaps bringing Clinton off the bench could go some way to rectifying that but i dont think it is why Morgan brought him across.
I would like to see Murrell back at 13 if only because Hodgson and Fisher both deserve to stay in the 17 but i still think he has the makings of a good hooker. At the minute he has to stay at 6 because we have no other option.

He wouldn't play any less minutes coming off the bench than he does as a starting prop and would be far more effective imho.

And me, closely followed by Welham for making one, scoring one and a great hit on Bosc.

Well your a Hull fans, not like you can say uve seen much of him is it? the times we've been on sky our FULL team as been woeful; so that takes it down to errrr 1 derby game?

For me he was MOM on sunday - massive hits going in; how Vella got it only proves to me that those sponsers that pick really dont have a clue.

I do know that my mates 6 year old daughter has picked the sponsors MOM at least once this season.

Thought he was Rovers best forward, but Welham just edged it for me.

I think thats a bit harsh to be fair. He does alot more than he's credited for IMO.
