Sounded like another excellent effort from us and both teams probably happy with what they got from today's game...

We're kind of like in pre season mode at present gearing up for the muddle 8's...As a team who have been rock bottom all year and taken hiding after hiding, I'd just be interested to see how you Hull fans think we will go in that?

You've seen us twice in a week now....we've struggled most of the season missing key players but the way we are building we could have a healthy squad when the Middle 8's start....Locke at full back....Godinet and Tim Smith at halves....our best three props Scruton, Anderson and Simon...and our skipper Kirmond along with Washy and Annakin as backrowers to add to what we had on the park today...

Wishing you all best for rest of the season!

They slowed the game down and played the ref well, we looked low on confidence and a bit tired at times (but we will be after 3 games in a 9 days).

Sneyd had a big part in 4/5 trys today.

Certainly wasn't perfect and we have been a bit unlucky to play Wakey twice at this stage of the season, but it was 2 points and an entertaining game, so better than recent matches.

he will play Yeaman as back up hooker.You cant drop or keep Yeaman out of the team can you

If ellis has to take a few weeks off we are in big trouble,he is one of the best forwards we have had for a long time,thoroughly commited to the cause and a truly inspirational leader.Was mini injured or just rested ? COYH

Injured, spoke in the bar before the game, think he could be back next week, if not for the derby.

the two games we played against each other its hard to judge how you will go, mainly because of our short turnarounds between games


going by the catalan away game viewing, shouldnt see any reason why you wont be in the SL next year with the additional signings you have made

Been disappointed by Sneyds goalkicking particularly when wide out seems to miss a lot.
There are several far better goal kickers in super league than Sneyd

Thanks, he has been very good his season as well.

For major parts of the 80 minutes Ellis carried us , he is an absolout monster !! Thought feka deserve a big shout out , he seems to lift the crowd with his desire and will to run into a brick wall at 100 mile an hour , also Logan didn't do his chances any harm he's still got a lot learn obviously but very optimistic about his future !!!
Individual errors would have seen us loose against every other team in sl today but a win is a win and 2 points all that matters ateotd !!! Hopefully built a bit of confidence and roll on Cas next Sunday !!! Coyh

Agree, certainly out of form, has proved he can kick goals at Cas last season, I'm sure it his form will come back.

Dave ive actually seen Johnston play a couple of times.he is only young but in a couple of years will be the real deal of a winger with real pace to go with it.
Would love Brian Smith back here.it just shows what a real coach can do in a short period.Powell is the same.
Regretfully our coach is so limited in ability, very lucky to be in a job and would have been sacked weeks ago by any other club chairman

Yeah mate that's 100% what I ment ... Best edit quick

Absoloutely not. Keep your eyes finger and thumbs off him!


That goes for Jowitt and Crowther too! Ha

Indeed - Sneyd played really well except for his goal kicking. That's what you meant isn't it ?

Pryce is struggling physically there's no doubt about that.

There's a better one then Sneyd in our squad never mind SL, he's called Rankin.

We tried our best to give Wakefield a chance with early individual errors giving them a foothold in the game. We scored some outstanding tries with some superb rugby league that if it was other teams playing it would be lauded. Nice to see Jack Logan playing confidently and taking his tries well. His break for when Ellis was held up was outstanding as well. Should have won by more but never do - credit to Wakey their two second half tries were very good.

Thought we were pretty average overall. ellis was immense and logan had a good game with sneyd showing some good touches. If we ever found an attacking threat we'd be great but as it is we spend plenty of time in good attacking positions but still struggle to score. We looked worryingly easy to score against today too.

Can't see anything but 3 losses between now and the split

Loads of effort and commitment today, team spirit seemed fine, no negative body language but still far too many basic handling errors. Our defence was also disappointing as I thought we would have been able to handle their attacking threat much better than we did. Still I'll take the two points.

We always looked the most likely to win the game.
A wins a win, but it's pretty depressing that our season partly hinged on beating a pretty poor Wakefield team.

Ellis was a monster today. If we'd had Sneyd on Wednesday, we'd have won, without a doubt.

Wakefield played on a piffpoor referee who let them lie on every single tackle, time-waste all game and niggle.

Really pleased for Logan who now should keep that spot. If he can forge a partnership with Michaels, that will do me.

What is worrying is that we needed a drop goal against a terrible bottom table club. Our defence has fallen to pieces. If we didn't have an outstanding pack, we'd be looking towards bottom 2.

It was disappointing that we didn't defend the first error that led to the try particularly as we would have been pretty fresh then. The second try obviously wasn't a defensive error but an attacking one. The 2 they scored in the second half were good tries. We could have done better but our defence wasn't catastrophic IMO. Helps if you kick the goals.

That's the way I feel too.
Pleased we've won but hardly buoyed by the fact that yet again we are having a poor season, only just beaten the bottom side and are still playing so inconsistently poor.

What I find puzzling is that we were like this earlier in the season then transformed completely but we've now reverted to type. Some of our attempts at attack are worse than watching U11's
