That team doesn't answer the kicking problem?

And putting two kids in that ain't ready doesn't solve any problems.

We need to get wheeler playing like a halfback and start getting more involved. He's to laid back. He's got a decent kicking game. We not asking for 40/20s, just put a good kick deep on last to turn them around. It's basic for a halfback which he's played all his life as a kid and in saints youth set up.


McDonnell and swift coming in is a no Brainer for me. They have the individual ability to beat men and make breaks. We ain't going to win games with playing rugby.

Putting a kid in might answer more than simply praying wheeler does what we've all been hoping for 6 years? Even if it's American football style they are hidden from play until the last when all they have to do is kick it, they'd offer more than wheeler did tonight.

Wheeler is never going to be a "dominant" half, but he had his umpteenth chance to prove he was capable of influencing a result tonight and we got what we got every other time. Einstein said the definition of madness was doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results!

Agreed with McDonnell, we've brought him in for a reason so we should use him, I don't know what's going on with swift, but Dawson sounded like he had a downright bad game tonight so should see his reintroduction.

Some key performers missing tonight for saints but we deserved the win in what was a sloppy game for both at times, best of luck with the rest of the season, #COYH.

I can't believe Saints managed to lose to such and mediocre team, mediocre club.

I expected the loss so I'm not too shocked.

Season is over. What's the point in trying to win the league with no HBs? No side could do it.

God help us against Leeds and Warrington. Another two embarrassments will probably be added to the rest of them that we've had this season.

It's just diabolical that we are in the same situation again regarding the halves.

Very very poor by the club. Even if Wilkin and Lance was fit, we still no chance of winning the grand final.

We can't keep going on with playing short in key positions year in and year out.

My god, some of your fans are embarrassing. You are top of the league....Hull have been due this type of result for a while.

Re: Hull FC Match Thread - Saints 12 v 19 Hull FC : Sat Aug 02, 2014 7:58 am  

Can't remember a season when so many clubs at the top just lose games they would once win quite easily, do these coaches and clubs not understand how expensive travel and tickets are these days?
