Thought we could've one today had Sykes kicked in front of goal instead of passing. Nonetheless very happy with the performance and attitude on display today, especially against a big spending and so called "bigger" club like Hull (poor vocal support from them). Between Mathers and Smith for MOTM for me, although everyone else pushes them close. I will point out the embarrasing error though from kick from Anderson which led to a hull try. Points a point though.

Gifted away so much possession in that second half. Still with 2 mins to go in the lead. We were the better team overall and for the brain fart at the end in their 10 should would have taken the game. Still 2 wins and a draw isn't too bad and the defence was very pleasing today. Although disappointed with a draw we dominated in the forwards and the application was top notch. Bring on Leeds!

Oh and between Lynne and Ryan for motm for me. Lynne pulled off some great cover tackles and took his try well.

Three bad errors cost us three tries
The first being Richard Moores loose pass after he had intercepted and gone 20 m upfield he should have taken the tackle and trusted his teammates to play off the back of the break he'd made.

The second was a very sloppy forward pass from Pita Godinet to Taulima Tautai
The third was the unforced knock on by Scott Anderson immediately after we had taken the lead

A fair few unforced errors and dumb decisions but we still came away with a point.
In the grand scheme of things a point isn't bad at all.

My glass is half full tonight .. (not for long mind!)

We should have took the 2 at the end of first half.

And not score the Mathers try?

Yep was going to say, if we took the two, we would not have scored the try and lost!
Excellent tactics NGB4C!

Yeah but.....

We should never have sold Frankie Mariano

Don't get him started on that one again!
He would have kicked the drop goal with his back to the posts near the dugouts

Its all Reece Lynne and Richie Mathers' fault

Bizarre, even by ngb4c's standards??!!!

Reece Lyne was awesome today. And dare I say it, Mathers has been brill the last 2 games. Two players I have more than questioned in the past.

Yes I have questioned these two players performances in the past, but agree have played well in last two games. Even Scruton did well today.

Long may it continue

We should continually show Reece Lynne the video of that try before every game,
for once he backed his pace and then close to the line he was too big and too strong for 2 or 3 of the Hull players to stop him.

Thought Lyne was MOM today.

Yeah Mathers has looked a different animal these last 2 games, running hard, some good passes, safe under the bomb. Lyne had a good game, but that try was one of the best finishes you'll see.

Very impressed!

Can we get back to the subject !!!!!

Can't believe we didn't go for the 1 point especially as there was a break in play for an injury.

2 minutes left in front the sticks last play - what were they thinking !!??

Easy to say it doesn't matter if they don't go 100 metres and score and convert a try but that was a big error even by our standards.

That's said, I thought it was the best defensive performance of the season and at least there was a lot of effort and determination out there.

Big wrap to the forwards and thought Moore and Tautia were very effective.

Left the game very disappointed not due to the last minute try but by dumb rugby at the end !!

Lots of fans around me and me included were screaming drop goal but I'm happy with the point we gained because it wasn't guaranted Sykes would have scored it.

Brain dead play not to go for the one point. The effort was great but the game was there for the taking and that is a point lost due to poor game management.

It was 0-0 at that point. From that play we offered no threat and then gave a penalty away on Hulls next set. They scored there try from that. Mathers scored after all that.

Sykes had to pass the ball because he did not receive it early enough, the defender was on him too quickly, not sure if he was offside to get there that quick
too busy watching for the dg.

We had 17 tackles on their line during that phase, 9 were within drop goal range and position but we didn't make a single attempt.

Failing the drop goal, we should then have kicked to touch, or just put the ball to their winger then penned them in a corner, kicking it touch in goal gifted them 30 metres of field position against a back peddling defensive line.

If you say so fair enough, I was just saying it as I saw it.

Not looking for an argument mate, just saying we were a bit naive in closing the game out, hope we learn from it.
