Hull FC • Re: Cats Away

I’ve said it on here before, without Connor in the side, I can’t see where the creativity will come from and that was evidenced last Sunday at Wakey after his injury. Gale seems incapable of stepping up and his 2 drop goal attempts were shameful. His leadership skills aren’t what they were plus he’s lost his head to brain farts when trying too hard. Reynolds is a passenger and the perennial aging Aussie on his last “holiday”. Wynne, Carlos or Griffin at fullback or centre, haven’t got the wherewithal to create. Unfortunately Swift and Macintosh can both finish but won’t get the opportunities without Connor. Mitch is a solid backup centre or wing but again little flair or creativity. Our forwards are good and can create a platform but again without Connor, who’s going to take advantage of it. The club obviously realised that we need to change the reliance on Jake but the changes can’t take place until next season. I can only see a slide out of the top 6, Leeds will gather momentum under Smith, Wire will surely wake up? Rovers will do everything to pile the pressure on us, don’t we play them twice more. Radford’s Cas would love to get one over us, and the Trueman rumour will add spice. Unfortunately this is a very pessimistic post from me, I’ve been branded a “happy clapper” I’m usually upbeat but I can only see our usual end of season slide down the table. God, I really want to eat humble pie after this post. I’ll get my coat.
