I dont think it was anything to do with Abdul coming on, our ball retntn was appalling after about 30 mins onwards, gifting field position. I dont remember London making a break, if we had held the ball we won have won by 50.

London had a good compeltion rate, even in the first half.

We did all the basics right and went 34-0 up, a few dropped balls in the rain and our heads were gone. Straight back to making a total mess of the ruck and slinging daft passes.

2 vital points, though.

too many errors and missed tackles. Half assed efforts all over the field. Players turning up when they feel like it. Story of our season

Watching Hull is like watching the series Stranger Things. We seem to go in to a parallel universe.

I believe this has been recognised as a problem by the NRL and next year should show a significant increase in Australian International matches.

Planned are a 3 match Kangaroo tour to England, a 4 nation tournament with NZ, Tonga and Samoa plus a traditional annual NZ test. So around 8 matches in 2020 as against 2 scheduled for this year.

Nice to see super taff, enjoying his homecoming.

The job was just about done in forty outstanding clinical minutes, it seemed like we didn’t get much ball in the second half, and when we did we dropped it or messed it up, certainly a game of two halves, but we’ve done the double over a durable London side, and there’s a few who haven’t done that this season.

11.4k attendance. Not sure where they hid about 3k of them.

I was in the West stand, from there the East looked more full than usual.

London brought only a few supporters who should be commended, but a Thursday night TV game against London, that attendance was outstanding.

Sums up the second half but why havnt we someone on the field who can pull the team together.
Love Jake Connor but Radford needs to have a stern word with him.
He had two particularly half assed cant be bothered tackling efforts in the second half and needed to be told.
This is were Houghton falls down as a captain.

Agree esp about Houghton. Top player but ain't no captain

So while Danny makes his 50th odd tackle, he must ensure our emerging international superstar should apply himself better, yeah right, lay the blame at the door of the guy at fault, not this captaincy bollox.

Houghton is a great player. Am not blaming Houghton just don't think he makes a good captain on the field. He just doesn't talk to the team. There's no geeing up etc. I know people will say he leads by example and I get that but he doesn't fire the team up.

Hence why I said close to being World class he has everything but speed.

speed for halfs is not a must nowadays,lots of top nrl halfbacks aren't speedy.thurston didn't possess any pace,neither does widdop.

That’s why Connor is no centre
Centres need pace - its in a centres nal
Power and pace
Connor is emergency centre at best
How fast was Topliss ????

Exactly

Jake is a future FC Hall of Fame 6

Not a bad night of results for us with Warrington and Wigan both losing.

A real chance to narrow the gap on 2nd next weekend with Warrington travelling to Castleford. That's if we can break our twelve year Headingley losing streak of course.

No chance we'll win next week. Headingley hoodoo and the semi the week after will see us roll over again

Odds not in our favour, it has to be said. The last time we won there Raynor and King were in the team.

No way we’ll get beat by a Richard agar coached Leeds team, we’ll do them

Big game from Paea again very good stats, been our best prop this year for me.

I'd be tempted to give him another year, unless we can get someone better and looking at the names we are linked with, Satae and the out of form Hudds prop, it might be better to stick with Paea for a year and look to develop Brown for the year after.

Paea has been very good since a few games in, but if comes to choice, with age and quotas, I would keep Chris Green. If it is a straight shoot out between the two.

Hope your right, but as others have said, it’s the game after which is the prize.

Is it 12 years since the last win. Leeds have been truly awful for at least 2 seasons and still we haven’t won there. It’s a bit like a derby for Agar, if he and them can’t raise themselves for this game, they deserve to be relegated (if it happens). Heart says convincing win, brain says otherwise. I’ve been to most games there, sat in the Nth. Stand or Carnegie and some of their fans are truly obnoxious. So yes, I to would love the win.

Sorry, should be on the Leeds thread
