Him coming out of the line is generally fine as long as he actually tackles the man.

Unfortunately Graeme Horne is not the standard required for a top 4 club and should be released.



Yeaman was Yeaman tonight - couple of good things and a fair few bad. What said everything about Yeamo for me was during Houghton's fantastic break. He only had support options to the right - Yeamo was scratching his bollox back in his own half as usual.

G Horne should be nowhere near a SL first team.

He is s***e!

Good job he wasn't defending against one of the most potent attacking teams in the world playing against Senior and Sinfield or he might have had a tough time. Good job he wasn't trying to break down one the best defensive back-lines in the world or he might have been made to look ordinary. Oh hang on - he didn't do badly really considering he hasn't been back from injury long and I think he made them look pretty ordinary in defence as well. You lot ought to go and support drovers.

Jeez Brother how many we giving em ??

Bless. Also diddums.

Thats the problem. if he doesnt!! - its try time!!

Radford had a great game, tackled his bollox off, ran the ball in hard, made a couple of offloads and generally put himself all over the pitch, did the full 80 I believe. And as Barry Mac said, he ran his blood to water, just what we needed with a depleted pack and stepped upto the plate as Captain, but there is none so blind as those that will not see.

Exactly.



The all too short come back inteh second half doesn't even start to paper over the cracks of another woeful defencive display.



Singling out Graeme Horne is nothing short of scandalous. Hulls defencive line is too tightly set in the middle of the pitch which means a desparate scramble as the opposition throw the ball wide (which virtually all other SL teams do with speed and accuracy, something we appear unable to do). Its no coinsidence that we let tries in on the corners with such frequency which there is hardly any cover out wide.



But of course, to some Graeme Horne is an easy scape goat.



Well, as I have said a few times in the recent past, Kirk Yeaman needs to be dropped. If any one player cost up time and again it was him. 4 times last night he shot out of the line to miss his man, 3 of which ended up in tries within 2 play the balls. On another 3 occasions he couldn't accurately pass to his winger for what would have been straight forward chances. The one break he does make, after Manu put in in the gap, he proved he doesn't have the pace to convert then and makes it that bleeding obvious what he would going to do that the chance went begging.



Yeaman, Not fast enough, cannot pass, cannot draw a defender, misses too many tackle jumping out of the line. DROP HIM.

Made one terrible defensive error when he let Burrow run over him but otherwise I agree. One of his better performances.

its graeme horne who needs to be dropped.
