I'm not sure he needs games at the top level yet, though. He needs games at a higher level than the 20s for certain, but I think the jump from 20s to SL is too big and has been for a while. We need to ease youngsters in more, you can't just expect them to go straight from games against kids their own age and younger to facing off against the best full-grown men in the country. That way we're giving them 2 hurdles to overcome, the physical challenge as well as the hike in skill level. IMO we need to use the lower leagues more to get youngsters used to the rigours of open-age rugby and then move them up to SL when they look ready.

Thats a fair point tbf

I agree Horne/Seymour doesnt work after seeing them play together for 65mins





As i have said previously im not Hornes biggest fan but hes under a new coach which by the sounds off it is more attack minded than Agar. Lets give them time to know each others game in a game situation not just training. He is by far the best 6 at the club.

For me i enjoyed the game and dont think theres to much to panic about, the only concerns i had was missed tackles and not wrappping the ball up in the tackle to prevent the offload. I thought Will Sharp put his hand up and showed ppl he was willing to get stuck in by helping the fowards out carrying the ball back plenty of times. Mckinnon looks good and Martin looked solid when he came on. Would of liked to of seen a bit more of ellis and nicklas as the result was past us by last fifteen minutes.

Hello, stranger. Where the devil have you been?

Some of the duck-eggs on Sportstalk tonight were real class entertainment. Well worth a "listen again", even if its just to hear gollum defending Hull. Speaking of whom, he's looking for a #tag for his tweets, he reckons that Gwilym is a bit of a gobfull and most people couldn't spell it anyway. Any suggestions?

#uptherobins #hkr works well.

Tbf, if I rang in tonight, I'd be giving it loads. Sulking like a world champion, me.





Don't be mentioning any criminals, coddy. You're in enough trouble as it is.

Sooo 24 hours ago. Get your own material.

I was thinking along the lines of something a little more snappy but relatively benign, like #thrush - an irritating ****

My point was, It's not broke - why fix it?

Very good and probably a direct relative of a robin too. Text it in wth love and kisses from the "Facebook Three".
