You mean utilising Sneyd's attacking kick ability to hit our best aerial attacking player in Talanoa? Sounds a reasonable attacking ploy IMO.

I agree that we are in the slightly unusual position from a Hull perspective of actually having talent and skill in our backs but through injury/idiocy not being able to get anywhere near our best pack on the park to lay a platform for them. Even discounting the Watts scenario, have we been able to have:



Taylor

Houghton

Paea

Mini

Manu

Bowden



on the field as a unit for many games? If we could get closer to that it would be a help.

You, Bumpy, Seb... you should buy a pea green boat and leave true fans alone, but you wont, it's amazing what you can PRETEND to be behind a keyboard.

Yeh completely agree , we'll be much more dangerous with that starting pack , but why don't we change our style of play with different personnel, it's naive thinking lane can come in and do the same job as manu or mini , we've no plan b and imo as been a problem for a few seasons now

What deception on my part are you implying here?

Is this person seriously suggesting that you and the others are not true fans. He's soon reverted to showing his true colours.

I disagree. People bleat on about having one structure so that when you have an injury you directly slot in a player from the academy. This is what we've done with Lane, but the fact is he's 19 and inexperienced, probably at least 5-7 years off his peak so the quality of the squad is automatically diluted when he replaces Manu/Mini - no disrespect to him at all. When you have multiple players out obviously this becomes more difficult. I think the plan b scenario is more important when we miss one or more of Shaul/Kelly/Houghton in the spine and try and accommodate Miloudi/Connor/Abdull/Washy there instead, which has been the case a lot this year, but in my opinion

less so in the pack.

As opposed to saying Ellis has contributed nothing so far. #intheknow

You mean calling someone clueless after being yet again attacked on the forum when they were so far off the mark despite being given a bundle of evidence to disprove what they were saying it was actually accurate?

Think you'll find it's you and others who start throwing the abuse and goading when you don't like what's written.

You're a sad act who couldn't wind up a watch, as soon as one enters into a debate about rugby all you can come back with is inane responses, it's your level after-all but pathetic all the same.

You even called me a racist pig, forget that did you!

Of course your team as structures , it as to , and I mean no disrespect to any off the youngsters that come in for the likes of manu etc, but lane running the same lines as mini or manu twenty yards out, just isn't a threat at all , but we just continue to try it over and over again with little effect , yes run the same lines , but why not miss him out and get it in the hands of outside back threats, we just don't try anything different until it's to late and it's just basketball lucky stuff with no structure at all

So you don't throw around abuse but I'm a sad act, pathetic and not forgetting a racist but you're the one under attack?



I seriously believe you have mental health issues.

Having had the honour of being called clueless by bumpy for merely questioning a ridiculous claim that initially had no back up other than his enormous opinion of himself, followed by a deconstruction of his so called evidence I resemble that remark.



And I stuck to rubbishing the weak argument he put forward rather than personal abuse.



Still I think I'm beginning to understand why he rates psychologists so highly - he must have some nice friends who wear white coats.
