Not really a happy team at Hull, are we?
The selection is quite obvious and even we, the crowd, can see that Johnstone is purely there to fill a place , the kid is way out of his depth and it is unfair to persist with this , especially when ready made, trained and hungry prospects could be given a chance.. I get that they would normally be phased in to the action, alongside seasoned pro's but we don't have that luxury do we?
Got to start questioning the recruitment too, Reynolds is a great character, but I'd imagine he is in the higher wage bracket of our squad and his injury record, is concerning but also predictable, given his NRL stats just before we signed him. I seriously doubt that this coach is the man to lead us back up the SL ladder, I think he is way out of his depth and is not a great tactician, or it would seem, motivator. We should have gone with a disciplinarian type, we need a coach who inspires and will not accept the slack and careless attitude that pervades in the current squad.
I honestly think that Luke Gale's suspension has done for this team, along with a plethora of injured stars, we need to dig deep and tonight will tell us a lot about the team, in my opinion. Lose, or win, with pride - acceptable but lose and be careless and unprofessional and we really do have issues.
