Wonder if we can get Hoy in early to be the link out the back similar to Connor.

We should get Balmforth in the team too. We need some deception and craft from 9.

There's a perception that the club care more about the Retail sales than the performances...fans feel like they are being milked for more and more cash while performances remain the same dull stuff.

I actually think it's more that the Retail team are one bit of the club that have their act together.

Hopefully the clowns that have been calling for us to get rid of any senior halfback and play the likes of Hookem instead have realised what nonsense they've been spouting. Gale doesn't get injured and we win that game last night.

Probably play JJ at 7 instead of Hookem

Your last sentence is probably true although nobody is being milked for cash, merchandise purchasing is not compulsary. I've not bought a replica shirt for years.

Well I wouldn’t say that would have been a certainty If so surely we’d have had a score before he went off? In truth we never really looked like scoring as we just gave no attacking structures.
BH now has to change things as staying safe won’t change a thing as without Connor we are completely bereft of any attacking threat based on the evidence

Plastic fan

Two try assists in nine games suggest we may not have seen too much of a difference had he stayed on. That said he's only played six full games I think.

Frustrating that had connor stayed on at Wakefield and played last night we would have won both games and be sat in a really healthy position in the league. Not seen enough of Litten to know if he has the ability to charm into the line and give that killer pass that Connor is so good at.

I think Adam's face said it all when we went for the 2, He didn't look impressed one little bit. Ridiculous decision and the sort of thing that's becoming a hallmark of Hodgson tenure, assuming it was his decision and not made on field.

Fair play to Brad Fash last night, 35 tackles and no misses. Mitchi had a frustrating night ball in hand (or not) but solid defensively - no missed tackles and seventeen completed.

Not a single clean break from Hull last night.

Shaul taking 28 carries is outrageous, his effort has been something I have questioned a few times this season but last night he was everywhere.

That really was a poor decision considering a) we had a no real kicker on the field (and McIntosh missed most if not all of his practice kicks) b) it was a poor angle out wide and even more so for a right footed kicker c) we were on wires 10M line with 6 tackles. The fact we were that desperate to take a kick that was very missable for a regular kicker shows that we had no confidence in scoring from attacking play.

He missed every practice kick, the commentators said so. Bizarre decision to take the two, build pressure FFS ! Pearson looked fuming and I can’t blame him. Coughed up marque money for Reynolds on BH recommendation and now had to pay him off.

Thought Shaul did well, leave him at full back, Taylor dreadful, apart from one decent tackle. Skirlaugh would have beaten Warrington last night. The players believe the hype at the beginning of the season and when the going gets tough …… all teams have injuries so I’m not buying that excuse.

People banging on about the injuries. What makes people think having Gale playing would have made any difference?
Wire were as bad last night as they have been all year, and yet some people are proud we kept them tryless with 15 players.
Give me a break

and someone who understands we have two halfbacks on the field and not one.
played Hookem out of the game

From what he has done this season none.

coming down for the game for the next home game,hope it`s better than last night.

May well cop a ban for that high tackle when the disciplinary view the match.

Surely couldn't be any worse George. Have a safe journey.

thanks mal.

Talking of safe journeys, I hope the hardy souls that made the trip over on Friday got back OK as it looked like bits of the M60 were shaping up for a bit of late/overnight disruption.

FWIW I'm glad of the points thought you were on top First Half..... if only you could hold a pass and wouldn't have tried to take the two when you did with Gale off injured it was miss-able and I had visions of you going over for a try sometime soon to snatch the game

Good luck for the rest of the year I think you'll make the play offs but then again how barmy is this season

Wonder if he's going to give his insightful input on all televised games this weekend.

May well not.

Any idea what wotsisname got 2 games for?
