I would assume next week we will line up with Jake back at 1, Smith into 6 to partner Gale in the halves.
I don't know much about Smith so anybody know if he would be a better option at fullback than 6?

Surely our esteemed coach will provide the answer.

Hodgsons cunning masterplan after we trained well all week will be to find another position for Lovodua

Out of interest, why too soon? We’re desperate for a spark and in the first half he gave that, with an assist and some good touches. Hindsight says his pass to Faraimo was bad, but it was a good read by Faraimo. He doesn’t make that and we’re 22/24 to 8 and they have 12 players on the pitch, would be a different game. I know that’s all it’s and buts, and I’m not excusing anything, but we need all the help we can get and Connor was ready and he had to play. Unfortunately he was as bad as the rest of the team after all that!

would have been better if he had looked where he was passing

Surely it's Hodgson's job as head coach to get the best out of his appointed coaching staff and rather than dropping all under performing players (of which most are) isnt it time he got a tune out of them. If he's that good a coach then it shouldn't be a problem.

Coaches hands are tied if the players decide not to give it their all

Same players like Houghton, Taylor, Carlos, Connor, Fash etc who threw radford under a bus and now doing the same to Hodgson

Bout time a stance was put down keep the coach sack the players

But then make players think twice about player power put it in their contracts all super league clubs should do it

Then what would they do go to championship or work on a building site ?

Throwing Fash in that list is not right at all, he is far from a world beater but lack of effort is something you can never accuse him of.

Pretty much sums us up, Brad Fash is our best player.

Also not clear why Carlos is getting stick, until this injury hit season he has been a consistently good performer

Agree with most of your posts but Fash is 100%
He was stand out player last night.

strange how salford and huddersfield with fairly modest support seem to be able to play well and compete,yet hull with big and fanatical fans both home and away cant seem to thrive on the great backing they get.

Re: CASTLEFORD next up : Sat Jul 23, 2022 9:32 pm  

i remember radford coming out with the players dont like playing at home,the crowd needs to get behind them.not when you are seeing 40,50 points put by them.another coach and its still the same.
