Poor opposition means we don't have to get out of first gear atm, wouldn't read anything in to this performance

Sorry not convinced. Gale didn't see much even tho I know only second game. Roberts also didn't do much.

Way too many penalties. Not clinical enough when our chances came, but the effort was there. Overall a good result and there is improvement available.

What were you expecting? 80 points and several full length tries?

No I gave the score beforehand. Are you convinced of a semi win ?

I’m not too bothered. All that matters is winning and getting that feeling together and fitness for those returning. Our top 4 place is secure and I think Hull were always going to come at us, while we were going to stay in 2nd gear. I also think that they did some niggly things and got away with some stuff themselves.

Probably didn’t help Holmes going off and Wardle/Roberts having to switch move around

Some of trueman's one on one tackles are improving and I think Wardle looked to have a bit more in the first half. Getting to the semi-final without any injuries and a bit of a run going is all we can ask for at this stage now. Then give it everything on that semi-final.

Pitch very heavily watered so lots of slipping and a greasy egg. As long as we play well in the semi and hopefully final dont give a monkeys about the rest of the matches to be honest.
MOMENTUM MY ARSE, we had that going into last Years final and how did that one go :oops:

So what do we think to the crusher on wardle.
Exactly same last night and Thaler sends the Wakefield player to the sin bin, hewer nothing tonight.
So much inconsistency’s in the game. Thought hewer let hull get away with murder, so much niggling in the tackle. Time the refs got a hold of the blatant cheating and fiening injury.

One negative from tonight is oli Holmes injury, looks like his season could be over.
Was also worried about millington, but he seemed ok.

14 points conceded in two games,that's good. however we need to cut out the silly penalties.

Need somebody following Watts,Moors & Millo looking for offloads when they take the ball up as well.

But a wins a win...on the next Thurs.

I'm convinced we can up it several gears when needed, tonight wasn't a night that it was

Fullback, Halfbacks and Forwards more than good enough but from 2 to 4 that’s the weakness within the team another centre and winger signings a much needed priority

A bit of a strange game.

We lacked intensity early doors and never got out of the lower gears.

Agree with the above - we always seem on the back foot against their big fat lads in the backs - tonight was no exception.

The remaining 3 games could be equally as odd:

Hudds - depends if they turn up. We could catch a cold.
Wakey - depends if they turn up and local rivalry fires them up. We could catch a cold.
Saints - could be anything. They could rest a full side - so could we. Or we could nick 2nd place with a win if Wigan wobble a bit before then (unlikely)

Tonight was the first time this season we've strung 3 straight wins together - but we are 3rd...

It's been a strange season - here's hoping it's got a stranger ending!
