If O'Brien is back, that will mean Hughes goes back to the bench, and either Dwyer or Davis will have to make way. Dwyer has been an important signing for us this season, but I wouldn't be surprised if Lam goes with the reliability and structure that Davis would bring. Dwyer had a bit of a stinker yesterday, and was hooked fairly quickly.

Yeah agree it wasn't his best game, but others also not been very good in games.

Q. What do you think about Asiata since he has returned, my opinion no more than 50% the player he was,he doesn't seem to have any influence on the team at all, just my opinion.

The link up play from second receiver is better H and more options for Lam who is currently running amok. 
 

Defensively, not great and the same with taking the ball up but will get better with a couple more games under his belt. 
 

When we have our full spine back, we will be fine but I fear it will be too late. Magic game v Salford absolutely huge !

I think we're a better team with him on the pitch than when he's not. Our attacking shape and general organisation looks much better when he's on, and Lam improves accordingly. Finding a good replacement will be difficult and Chester will need to get it right.

I do, however, get the impression that he is being nursed through the season somewhat. Playing less minutes than he did last season, which may change as more games go. If I were a Hull fan, I'd be excited to see what he can do next season (though he will need a strong front and second row in front of him), but wary about whether he will be worth such a salary in years 2 and especially 3 of his deal.

John will be back in Aus by then.

 

He will be absolutely fed up of seagull Shyyyyte landing on him every two minutes !!

Why don't they announce the teams pre match on the scoreboard at Leigh or even by the PA announcement.

Unless I blinked and missed it.
