Hull FC coach Peter Gentle wants his side to attack in today's clash with the Catalan Dragons, after scoring just six points last time out against Leeds Rhinos.

Gentle believes that his side did not show enough attacking threat against Leeds and wants his players to take the initiative this afternoon against the Dragons.

"We need to chance our hand a lot more than we have been in attack. We need to be able to throw more at teams than we have been recently," Gentle told the Hull Daily Mail.

"We seem to be sitting back and waiting for the big play each time, rather than play each and every play."

Hull FC are eighth in the Super League table, four places below today's opponents.
