took the words out of my mouth.



I reckon it should be a good game. We'll have a point to prove after today.

I was going to try and hold off having a moan to at least the 4th or 5th game if things hadnt changed or got worse.. but i still cant believe with all these new players who were led to believe were much better in defence,but yet we still cant defend out wide, so same old story just with new players. Only thing not changed is the defence coaching team..



Everyone goes on about it take 5 games,well if that is the case and we do lose all 5 of them, then what we 10 points down on the rest and then we lead to believe we make an assault on the top 6/8 (ye right)..



If we lose the first 5 games of the season for the first time i will be one of the first on here asking for Powell to go or at least getting help in. (whats Brian Noble doing these days))

Defensive coach required??

I can't seen many teams been on 10 points after 5 games. Writing your season after teo games against Saints & Warrington is just silly. They will be the top two sides this year.

and a ball retention coach. If the ball was made of velcro and they had gloves to match they'd still cough it up.

On the basis of my opinion.



We got torn to shreds out wide yet again, and whilst Hull don't have the quality of Warrington, they still have good enough players to exploit that.



And they did draw with the Wolves last weekend at their place





If I'm wrong I will gladly accept any abuse flying my way!

I wasnt writing my team off i was writing off the fact out defence is crap and that only thing not changed from last year is the defence coaching team.



And ok i might have worded it wrong about being 10 points down but if we want to challange top 6 or 8 starting from zero is not th best way to do in IMO thats all.



I really do hope that 5 games in (or even next week) i see something diffrent then happy to eat my words. Maybe the one game i saw from last week lead me to believe what happended today wouldnt happen (yes i know dont make sense.

)

Quite a short drive home down the A49, but still so disappointing, don't envy those now making the long

trip home down the M6 and M1.



We started off so well and so many of the team looked good, showing the promise we have hoped for, player like Witt & Chubb to name just two! but after taking the lead we seemed to get into the usual style of giving away penalties, I lost count how many, then being on the line and at the point of scoring only to allow Warrington to come straight down the field and score!



In the last 15 minutes I worried how many they would put on us! Yes I know Warrington are a really good side and what went wrong for them last week I am unsure.



I listened during the game a little to BBC Radio London on the iPhone and such professional full match coverage well informed but any listeners who may have thought about coming along to see a home game may have different thoughts for a while.



Yes it is only the first two games & we still need to gel together as a team but after last weekend today was a real disappointment.

I'm not downhearted as we know this is a new team (and 2 of our key signings have only just turned up.)



Disappointed in the margin of the defeat though. Wonder how many times Robbo, Dave and Gower have had 50 points put past them? These blow out scores are so rare in the NRL. Puzzles me when we have so many Aussie coaches, trainers and players over here. Don't think these scorelines do much for the credibilty of the game in this country.



Agree with jaybs about the good match coverage by Radio London (and I thought the same thing about the game having a negative effect on anyone thinking of coming to a game).

Powells post match comments...







Jesus. This is straight out of the B. Mac book of bad post game comments.

Powell Out.... Or are we prepared to give him another couple of weeks?

Ok.....do you really think David Hughes is going to sack a coach after two matches of the season, against Saints and Warrington?

Nope probably not...just posing the question as to how long before we are clamouring for his removal as coach.



To finish in the play offs means winning (or losing) half your games, clearly still a long way to go - but I would suggest a lot of the good things achieved last week have been undone today!

Not remotely surprised by the Wire result. Top team, at home, squad been together for a while now. Think we could've been better against Saints though, some of their tries were soft but again a top side.



Hull will be a better show of where we are, if I'm being 100% honest I expect us to lose that too but we'll see.
